Hey Gals,

My vet is trying to guilt trip me into getting my baby vaccinated for lepto and corona. He is 5 months old and came with all of his vaccinations complete from the breeder. I will absolutely not give him the lepto vaccine because I have heard too many horror stories about it. But what are your opinions about Corona? The vet said that both lepto and corona were in our area. Also, he refused to take his heartworm chewable (no matter what I disguised it with) so I purchased the pills instead and the vet tech said that the pills only work for heartworm and not the hook worm or other stuff that the chewables (heartguard) work for. Is this true? When I asked her if there was something else that I could give him in pill form she said she didn't know. The vet was already gone for the day so I couldn't ask her. What are your thoughts?

Any help you can provide would be appreciated.
