Lexi just had her checkup and two shots. She had bordetella and Lepto. We have given her shots individually over a 6 week period of time previously. Vet said if they are around water or puddles where other animals are, it's probably a good idea to get the Lepto. We have a pond, raccoons, squirrels, coyotes, and such. Not often and we have a solid board fence, but She is around other dogs on walks and when we leave her for vacation in someone else's home. I really talked with the vet about both of these vaccines before giving them to her. He recommended hanging out for a bit after just to make sure there were no issues. She was fine for a couple hours afterward, but then got real sleepy and mellow. But next morning she was back to her normal self. Makes me pretty nervous whenever she gets shots. Next year when she is due for the dhlp or whatever it is, he will do a titer test to see if she still has immunization in her body. If she does, no shots. I'd be ok with that. But two days ago, this five pounder did pretty good. |
