I always report all reactions to my vet so that it can be noted in the pup's record. There are a couple of older ones that she recommended we not vaccinate again with DHPP because they had 24 hours of fever and screaming when touched. Strange reaction...kind of scary to me but still not anaplylactic in nature.
It is good that you ask for the vaccines to be separated. My vet does rabies first and then two weeks later the DHPP. Office visit is charged only the first time.
Not sure what you meant by the comment that I bolded....if you meant your vet or "they" as the AVMA or AAHA. This protocol has been in effect since 2011.....if your vet is not doing it, I would take him/her a copy of the AAHA guidelines and ask why. |
my vet I meant...my new one! if people don't call with the symptoms then the vet really has no clue of the reactions. They are new to me and new the area (previously a vet at another practice and opened her own) so I asked to make sure they do report any issues. They stated they rarely hear of any reactions and I wonder if it is because it is not reported. and I am sure but I just don't like the defensiveness when I pose the question. and the tech did get a lil defensive with me. Everyone has an opinion and how they see there pups react. I know also I am a bit anal about what is done and so maybe she was just reacting to my flood of questions and worries. haha. I am a bit uptight when it comes to their well being.
