i also had never heard that vaccinating a pup at 6 weeks is a no no...until yt...IMO thats taking a BIG BIG BIG risk..i dont think there is any one that would change my mind on that..i feel like waiting that 6 weeks to vaccinate them is scary..people walk all over the place and can carry diseases on their shoes..so i am relieved when i start vaccinating them at 6 weeks i feel they are safe and protected... |
I am suprised that you have never heard of a vet not giving this particular shot. When I first bought Livi, I had a piece of paper with me...from her breeder saying NOT to give the Lepto. I handed the vet her note and she said, "Oh, I would never give the Lepto to a Yorkie baby!!". I am sure there are all sorts of opinions out there, but my husband and I did a lot of research on it when it came time to get Livi's first baby vaccinated. From what we found, most vets feel that it should not be given to toy breeds. It is your choice, they are your puppies...I, for one, am a bit scared of the Lepto shot. But then again, I think our precious fur kids are over-vaccinated...oh, and I also think that shots are given too young.
Just my opinion, though.
