I recently started with a new vet..he and his wife just bought out an establish clinic near me.
He knew nothing of my background and I offered no information when I took Marzipan for her 16 week vaccines.
He is out of school perhaps 5 yrs...after all the nicities..I asked him what he thought was needed...
He looked over her record..since she had a 9, 12 vaccine he recommended DHPP no lepto, stool check, bordatella, if I boarded or went to dog parks..and he would like to see her in a month for rabies..he did not give rabies with a puppy shot...and I was perfectly welcome to wait until 6 months for rabies IF I wanted a rabies at all. It was the law, but he understood toy dog owners reluctance...and since she was on heart worm, nothing more was needed.
I will continue with this new vet...we have since talked and I have let him know Marzipan is not my first Yorkie..I do have bit of knowledge about them...I told him I was showing Marz...he is not trying to impress me, which many do with any long time show breeder. |
