 confused about boosters
I got the card from the vet last week saying my 2 yr old 4 lb yorkie needs her "booster" for DHPPB. She also needs the heartworm test and more heartworm pills. I had her on the heartworm meds until last Oct. I just called and the girl told me that she doesn't need the blood test for heartworm and I can just get the meds. That will save me $35 but should I just start giving her the meds without the test? (The weather has been crappy here and I haven't seen any bugs to speak of yet.) Also, can somebody clarify if I REALLY need to do the booster shot? She has had her puppy shots and she's had 2 sets of other shots. The first set made her VERY ill so the next year I had it done one at a time and she didn't have any reaction at all. Does she REALLY need more of these shots? I know Petsmart won't groom her without some of them. Help! I do not even hardly know what I'm asking! |
