What were your experiences with your vets and how did you say no? Btw- she's a friends friend and it's really a difficult situation for me to say "sorry I think you are wrong and I think I know a little better than you".
It is not a matter of their being right or wrong or your knowing more than the vet. It is a matter of your dogs size and age plays a big part in it. Not all smaller dogs tolerate the shot at a young age. . When they insist I ask them if they are willing to take full responsibility if my dog has a reaction to the shot? I never, never let them give 2 shots in one visit. If they want to guarantee that it will not affect my dog in an adverse way then go ahead. But if it does and something happens to my dog it will be on their shoulder. I just lost a puppy from a reaction to a shot. He wasn't too young just too small. Against my better judgement I charged ahead. I learned too late that there are some things you can do if this happens. My own stupidity!!! |
