Because of the fragile health and state of most little teacup yorkies, and because of the side effects/reactions some vaccines cause, I feel it is prudent {on a case to case basis} to use caution when vaccinating the little ones. A MODIFIED VACCINE SCHEDULE is best for me and I was wondering if anyone has one then can send me? NY has laws but there are exceptions.. I believe in a holistic approach combined with vetinary care. And my yorkie has a problem with her right back leg.. When I adopted her she had this.. so vaccines cannot be put in the back legs... HAS ANYONE HAD A NEGATIVE EXPERIENCE WITH THE DHPP VACCINE? If you don't give distemper/parvo, will the dog develop distemper problems? [sorry for these symplistic questions] |
I have not had a negative experience with the DHPP vaccine in any of my dogs. I always hang around the hospital for a short while after doing vaccines just in case of a reaction but fortunately I have not experienced any. I don't think the size of the dog has anything to do with the need to vaccinate to prevent certain diseases. NY does seem to have an exception for rabies due to a medical concern, but that is not going to be because of a back leg issue. It's more for things like cancer or immune-mediated diseases.
