I know they're different dogs, but I don't think if a Chihuahua who could fit in a normal size cup for the first 2 months of me having him, didn't have problems, then I don't think a Yorkie that's the same size (give or take) would. Then again I could be wrong, they are different dogs. But it's not a lot of liquid that's given, maybe about an inch (sorry I don't know how many cc's that is.) |

Maybe that family has great control over what their children do, can take care of EVERYTHING that the animal needs, and because they have young children, they shouldn't get a dog.
In this situation, I feel like all she did was ask if someone has given the 7-in-1 to their dogs, and then someone posts something scary that may or may not happen to their puppy, so they don't end up doing what they want. |
I was a little confused what bringing a dog into a household w children has to do w vaccines.
I think when someone posts asking a question, arming them w the info of what can and cannot happen gives them knowledge to help them make a decision. There are a lot of vets that are now recommending only giving vaccines one at a time to small (toy size) dogs bc of the number of reactions they have seen in their practices over the years. My vet is one of them.
From a medical standpoint, having worked in human med for years, unfortunately just bc one person has a procedure or a treatment w/o difficulty does not mean the next will. For example, approximately 20,000 ppl a year will suffer sudden death due to a genetic reaction to general anesthesia. A lot of ppl have general every year w no problem; however, if you are one of the 20,000 with the genetic anomaly, you're going to have a deadly problem. Ppl need to be given the facts, both good and bad, to make an informed decision.
