Did the breeder have her vaccinated against Rabies? (I would think so) Can you get her vaccine/health records? Pups should have had 2 Rabies vaccines by the time they are one year old, then they are usually required by law once every 3 years. Rabies vacs can only be given by a vet.
Am I understanding your posts? You had to insist on additional bloodwork? If this is the case... I'm confused, as the vet thinks she's a bit underweight, bloodwork would be the first thing needing done to rule out any medical reasons for her being 'light'.
Also, to be on the safe side, any vaccine will activate the immune system, as will any surgery, or injury. I would separate any vaccine and surgery by 4 weeks.(JMHO)
IDK, again JMHO, I think I'd be looking for a new vet, one a bit more intune with small dogs and aware of the dangers of overvaccinating... Also I wouldn't vaccinate her till she puts on a bit more weight, if she's that lean. |
