Ask the vet what shots he is giving and YOU make the choice. It's your pet and you have the right to know. |
Thanks for sharing! Yes, Cody had the LEPTO vaccine. I will call my vet on Monday morning and inform him of his condition. He can walk but not as well as when I took in him for his shot a week ago. I do have to take him back in a week. I'll update you on his progress. He has a large lump in his upper left shoulder from the shot. How unfair for this little one to suffer. Again, thanks for sharing the website information.
