Both of my pups are over a year old now and Derby just went into the Vet for his annual check up and 3 yr vaccinations. They gave him his rabies and the distemper parvo vax as well. Sent us home with more Heartgard Plus and said he was good for 3 yrs in regards to vaccinations. He was so tired for about a day afterwards due to the vaccinations. Then over the next few days his right shoulder where the rabies vaccination was given he developed a hard bump so back to the vet he went and was on clavamox for 10 days. It has since healed and is all better. I can't believe getting vaccinations for these little guys is such an ordeal. Makes me wonder if they should get them at all....some of my friends say that they have read studies that vaccines actually cause cancer in some cases.
Derby is 4.8 lbs and Jockey who will be due for his shots in a few months is 3.6lbs. This worries me!
Please let me know what your experiences have been with these vaccinations and whether you do or don't vaccinate every 3 yrs and why.
Thank you so much. I just love them so much as we all do and want to do what is absolutely best for my little boys.
