It should only be given if the bacteria is prevalent in your area. Only you and your vet decide if the risk of the disease outweighs the risk of the vaccine.
He may be sore and tired from the DHPP. Most do fine with it. Children's Benadryl should be handy and know the dose (you can ask the vet to calculate it). They should tell you what side effects they'd be concerned about. |
I just called the vet and spoke with his wife, who is his nurse. She said that we can hold off on the Lepto for a few weeks. She wants him to weigh a little bit more before he gets it. He will definitely get it, just not yet. I'm sorry, I feel a little uneducated asking this, but what is the bacteria that the Lepto is for?
I hadn't thought about the Children' Benadryl. I'll pick some up after his appointment, I have to go to Walmart anway.
