Not only that, but then to give it to a dog that you don't know for sure has been well? We all know to never give a sick dog shots. I agree with the others who say you need a new vet. I’m so sorry you are going through this Elaine, but I really think your vet has caused some of these problems. |
I explained that the vet was not our regular vet at the hospital. He was the one there at the time I called. I agree the shots should not have been given, however I do not think it caused her to be sick. She was sick, and in defense of him and again not condoning his giving the shots but in defense Mia did not appear to be terribly sick. She had a cough and she had ear infections but otherwise displayed being a normal puppy. She just wasn't combating it and at night she appeared to be worse then she had been. I have not brought her back to that vet. I have the two other vets that I use regularly and have used for 15 years taking care of her. I do agree she should not have been given the shots and did ask him about them prior but was assured they would be fine. Elaine
