I thought ellie had a reaction to lepto? http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/mem...5s-pain-5.html |
She did react to lepto. I was just pointing out that she had a reaction...
I'm not saying it doesn't happen. I'm just saying there is not a huge risk involved.
They can be separated and if the owner and vet want to, go for it.
I personally don't see how splitting into three shots makes a lot of sense in most cases. The pup would have three times the injection sites, three times the preservatives, etc. But that doesn't mean it is wrong. Just personal preference.
I suppose OP could hold off til dog is older and hope for some weight gain, but that isn't without risks either.
