You also do NOT want to give a 7-way vaccine to a puppy no less a yorkie adult....We vaccinate for Distemper, Parovirus & Adenovirus...If your vet does not use anything other than a 7-way then I would call around to the other vets...
She will eat her puppy food in good time!...She is still young and you will probably see her show more interest in the next week or so! |
I agree 100%. Please do not let that vet give her a 7 in 1 shot. I would wait until she is at least 10 weeks old and I would find a vet that will not give her the lepto.
