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 |
I'm just saying that the shots together could have made a healthy dog sick, so it's like your story about how sick she is, goes out the window. I'm not saying she wasn't sick, I'm just saying that the proof of breeder responsibility for it goes out the window. I do blame her for not writing these things down and warning you about this, it was in Joey's contract. I don't know what the laws are there, but do dogs have to get rabies before 6 months? A cough is always a sign something is wrong, no rabies shot should ever be given with a cough. What does your regular vet say about all this? I guess what I'm saying is that shots are hard enough, you say Mia wasn't appearing terribly sick, and I'm saying you have to be
sure a dog is well, when you give rabies, or any other shot, again remember with tinies, you have to be even more cautious about things like this.
I sound so cold and heartless, I'm praying little Mia will fight this and be giving you heck for a long time!
