I only have a couple minutes, but will add more later.
Signing a consent is not the normal way. Your friend's old vet does it the "normal" way... As sad as that is...
The same dose is given to a 5 pound dog and a 100 pound dog because a response is needed from the immune system. This does not vary by size of dog. The rabies is supposedly extremely potent, so giving half may theoretically be fine. I have never asked to split it or throw part away and I do not agree with the practice right now.
We did titers for a couple years. You can read our story on YT. For us they were a waste of money. Certainly okay in some circumstances, but they don't work for everyone...
What age did this pup get the "last" DHPP?
Most states require rabies by four months. All I will say is I'd be waiting for such a small dog.
