Hello~

I am new here, and a new Yorkie momma.

I picked up my puppy on Thursday, and brought her to the vet on Saturday. There, they recommended the Lepto vaccine. I had never heard of it before. In discussing it with the assistant and the vet, it sounded like the risks of not getting it far outweighed the risks of getting the vaccine. I, mistakenly or not, decided to trust the judgment of the medical professional.

Unfortunately, I didn't know about this before my visit, or I might have come better prepared.

Can someone please explain what the problems are?

Should I continue with the follow-up injections, since I've started, or is it okay to stop after just one?

I don't know if it was nerves or the vaccine itself, but Lexi threw up twice on the way home. Thankfully, she seemed fine after that.

I would appreciate any information you can give.

Thank you!
