Please research the lepto vaccine and get a second opinion before you allow your vet to give it to your puppy. It has been evaluated that the risk of a reaction to the vaccine is greater than the risk of getting lepto in most areas of the country. It is the one with the worst reputation for adverse reactions in yorkies and I wouldn't give it. It is not required by law.
As for rabies, I hate it when vets use the argument that the dogs can be put down if you fail to comply with the law. The law is different in different states too because in California the vaccine can't be given until after the dog reaches 4 months of age. I recently got a puppy from Texas who had the rabies at 15 weeks and they want to re do the rabies because, under California law it was given too early!! |
