I have never let a tiny Yorkie go out....3# or less.....but I really would be goosey about a tiny baby getting a rabies shot.....a baby THAT little has NO business socializing outside with strangers so the likelihood of this tiny baby getting rabies should be zero....I would wait until this little baby has more size and weight on him! I have NEVER had a new owner's baby come down with rabies, waiting until their baby is 8 months old....!!! |
I so agree! Here you are required to tag by 1 year. I have always waited till my pups were close to a year.. Just felt better about it.
There hasn't been a case of rabies in our county in 2o years.. The only danger is raccoons.. There has been a few in adjoining counties. I really get angry about the inforcement of rabies shots on such small young dogs..
Good luck.. Hope the little guy feels better soon!
