The key here is to trust your vet. That's always very important. If you can't have an honest open conversation with them, then it's best to find one that you can. |
Great advice as well. I'm angry that she's a vet and she doesn't seem to know what's the SAFEST for my puppies, but I do want to trust her that it'll be okay because she probably had her share of experiences with vaccinations too. I don't know WHAT TYPES of things I should trust her with, though. If she said "yearly rabies shots", I would definitely say no bc it's not needed. But with waitng 6 months and giving 2~3 weeks in between shots, I'm not so sure since it's a fairly new thinking. I want to trust her because she does seem to genuinely care, and if she seems to know "for sure" then maybe everyting will turn out fine?
I think what I'm trying to say is that, I definitely do not want to change vets in between puppy shots and do not want to "stand alone" in enforcing my ways. I'd like a professional that backs my belief so that I don't seem like I'm testing her knowledge and that she's there for me in case things go wrong. (instead of the I told you so's). After the vaccinations are done, I'm def changing though bc I want someone that is more up-to-date and knowlegeable with recent findings.
