It's the rabies shot that needs to be given separately and on a different day. I do think it's important to find a vet you trust, you need to rely on him as your final decision not the forum. You never know when you might get incorrect information or some other misunderstanding might occur. Find a vet you trust. I'm not so sure your vet did the wrong thing, by the way. |
Her vet gave a vaccine after she said not to. That, I believe, is against the law. When given combo shots you have to be very careful because if the dog reacts, which one did the dog react to?
What vaccines a dog should get is between the client and the vet but when the client says on and the vet does it anyway, they really do need to be reported.
Yorkie puppies have been known to die from the lepto vaccine. Some vets won't give it to dogs under 10 pounds and some won't give it at all. Because of the high reaction rate with the rabies, it should be given separately. Some would say this goes for lepto also.
