well there were reactions from all the shots ..we always seperated them rabies from the others and never failed he was sick for the day and be off for one or 2 more. Rabies was the worst though..we had a yorkie prior for 16 years that had it too..not the first few years but later (i think it was possibly the change in the vaccines they used, as that was over 20 years ago and not all those vaccines were given then)...
not sure why i would stay at the vet ..as the option they offered me time and time again was to give another shot to counteract the symptoms of the vaccine...there were many other issues the vets had created on my healthy little one..
anyway to make a long story short Oliver is a Very Healthy Little Fellow at 11 years and has personality and spunk with the energy of a puppy.
i can honestly say that is not due to any vet intervention..
but from the research i have done to get him healthy ...
knowledge is the key to open the doors of good health for all of us..

Sorry I think it's irresponsible for a breeder not to provide preventation against those two diseases. Should there be an outbreak...it's likely the breeder won't have ANY dogs to breed. There isn't any cure.
I'd advise vaccinating initially and then opting for titer testing when boosters are suggested.
I'm fortunate none of mine ever reacted like what you described above. |
