I'm not really saying it was their fault but I should have informed Myself more about vaccinations and asked her more questions, because she apparently didn't feel the need to let me know the risk factor involved, ya know? I've had 4 other dogs in my life in the past ten years, and none have ever had a reaction like that! So it just freaked me out.

Oh thank you! Joey's breeder had it written in the contract no Lepto should be given. Also she said that only Isoflurane and Sevoflo gas anesthesia be used, as it's safer for small dogs. Some vets specialize in small breeds; my own vet said he learns most of his breed specific knowledge from the better breeders, so sometimes your breeder can help you out with this. I think it's important that we are all more proactive in our health care, I know my own mother would have never questioned a doctors treatment, but times have changed, and it's really important to get involved. There's so much bad information on the web, it's sometimes hard to sort it all out, but often a little research can help us ask the right questions. I think the website you linked has a place to contact them. Find out if they use Isoflurane or Sevoflo gas, this would help me make the decision. You might also do a search on this at Yorkietalk.
