knowledge Vets are very busy people. I take in articles all the time to the vet regarding shots,(we spread our rabies over several years way before our vet said we should) etc. Our breeder led the fight to stop the rabies every year. Get thee to the study and research area on dogs so that you can keep your vet on his/her toes. Like our own human doctors they are trying to make a living and your job is to stand up and let them know what your dog needs. It really makes sense to locate a vet that specializes in small breeds if you are in a large city. (unfortunately we are not so that is why I try to keep up with good information.) Don't be afraid to challenge your vet on stuff. When we went to single shots across several days our old vet sort of rolled his eyes.. Trials on medications are often with bigger dogs(as so with people) so you have to judge. Glad things are better now. |
