Thinking of both Pixel and Mommy and hoping all goes well today. So glad Pixel gets to have a special 'at work' playday with mom

It sounds like your vet plans to give the lepto, bordetella and rabies in three weeks all at the same time. I would definitely advise against that. Rabies shots also have a pretty high risk of a reaction and should always be given separately from the other vaccinations.

What sort of health guarantee did you get with Pixel? Some breeders actually have it written into their contract that lepto vaccinations may not be given.
Very good information to consider here. Hope I will remember it or will be able to find it come time for Zoey's boosters. Thanks for helping us all look out for our precious ones!
