So the first question I have is...if your vet is the type who wants to give a bunch of vax at once...why are you still going to him...? I'd find a vet who is line w/ your preferences and in line with what's the safest route.
Second - it's absolutely fine to give Benadryl about 45 mins prior to ANY vaccine to avoid reactions. My vet hasn't seen a single reaction in her 30 years from any dog who was first given Benadryl. Dose is 1-2mg/pound.
I'm a vaccine minimalist - so I only get the core vaccines, and I do not get bordetella. |
She said it well, as usual. An old school vet we had for one visit gave her the rabies and the all in one vaccine. I spent a very hard weekend on the edge of my seat. Listen to all the advice you'll get here, as you'll hear minimum vaccines, don't do it all at once over and over. That is the very BEST advice you can get, and please follow it to a T.
