Hi all, I'm new here. I have an 18-week-old yorkie mix pup and brought her yesterday for her first vet visit. I said when I booked the appointment that I wouldn't be having my dog get the rabies shot at the visit as I wanted just the DA2P vaccine and would have her get the rabies shot separately as that is safer. So when I went into the exam room I saw that they had already drawn both vaccines. I told the vet I'd only be having my dog get the DA2P vaccine at that visit and after a bit of a disagreement over that she agreed and walked out with one of the needles. The thing is, now I'm being paranoid that maybe my dog didn't get the right vaccine. I didn't get a good look at the needles to see if they looked different, but they were sitting right next to each other and so I'm wondering how the vet could tell them apart. Does one have more in it or do they typically have different coloured plungers or something to differentiate them?
