[QUOTE=Britster;2931260]I will definitely do my research

Ticks are BAD around here though. Terrible in the summer. Lymes is pretty high in MD - humans and pets. I always make sure I know what Jackson's getting first. Thanks for the info.

Yes...Lymes is bad here in MD which could be why my vet did not make it seem like an optional shot.
There are a lot of deer here where I live in Montgomery County.
But she did say the Lepto was optional..and I did not get that series for either of my dogs.
Max had NO problems with the Lymes vaccines. Mickey gets sore so he gets a Benedryl shot before hand now.

I guess it depends where in the US you live.

I am just happy that it was caught early in Jackson.
