He was very nice and did have the vaccine handy for it to be injected. I re-read their records from the adoption and they were originally given the vaccine via nasal.
Has any one else seen that this vaccine is being given via the nasal more often? I am glad I went him directly and not the groomer because he may have not had the injectable vaccine handy their. |
The first time bordatella is given it has to be the intranasal. After that, you can use the injectable. I don't do bordatella on my dogs anymore (because it is ineffective and my dog got KC twice despite being vaccinated), but when I did, I did only the intranasal. My understanding was that the intranasal was more effective, as your vet said.
