Doing my own vaccines - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Maybe you could teem up with somebody???

PLUS.... the new pup will need 4 the one now 3 more so thats 7. Figure out what 7 vet visits will cost and I think you will see you will be ahead only using 7.

Hopefully somebody near you or you know can use some.

Sorry, I just did a google search on vaccines and found them. I didn't realize that they were the ones charging such high pricing on shipping. Seems like false advertising...

Wow, you guys are way more daring than I am to vaccinate your own pups!

Lacy's Mom · 10-04-2006, 04:01 PM

I can buy mine here individually or in bulks of 25 for a big savings. The ones I bought this week locally don't expire until October of 2007. They definitely need refrigeration and quick shipping or they will not be any good. I even take an ice chest when I buy them locally. Look in your yellow pages under livestock and farm supply and veterinary supply, someone should have them local. I pay about 5.25 for the Schering Galaxy with no lepto or corona with the syringe, but I can buy the same thing in a bulk of 25 for about $70.00.

It's not nearly as hard as it sounds!

And other than well check ups and blood work it saves enormously on vet bills! It is still VERY important to have them seen by a vet but I figure if I can at least do the shots myself safely why not, plus it saves the argument about whether to use or not use lepto!!

Lacy's Mom · 10-04-2006, 04:07 PM

I usually do take the puppies to the vet for the first shots just to let him check out their hearts, knees, ears, teeth, etc., but right now we are having a severe parvo outbreak so I felt safer avoiding the vet's office and just doing it myself.

Thanks everyone for all your input!!!! I appreciate it so much! I called my local TSC store (Tractor Supply) today and they only carry the Lepto. How crazy is that???!!! So I guess its off to the Web for a long search..................

Breny · 10-05-2006, 06:15 AM

When you order the 25 supply do the needles come with them?

Do they come with the single doses?

yorkieangel · 10-05-2006, 09:53 AM

NO... Everyplace I know that sells the batches.... makes you buy the needles seperate. They are usually between 15-20 cents each.

Did you check the site I sent you with the cheap shipping and lowered prices?????

Breny · 10-05-2006, 10:12 AM

I did thanks! I was actually looking at PBS Animal health and couldn't find the needles on there, just the syringes. And I actually don't know what size needle to get. Can you help with that? Thanks again!

Breny · 10-06-2006, 06:17 AM

So I now need to know what size needle I need to order???? What size does everyone use???

I'd guess it would be small???? Help???

Breny · 10-06-2006, 07:18 AM

I'm bumping this cuz I'd like to try and get my order in today

yorkieangel · 10-06-2006, 07:43 AM

I'm sure if you call the 800 number they can help you get the right things

Breny · 10-06-2006, 07:59 AM

JeffersPet told me they recommend the 22 gauge. Does this sound correct? I just want to get the smallest possible. (smaller equals less pain, right?)

Lacy's Mom · 10-06-2006, 09:01 AM

My syringes are marked L-F, 3CC, 22, 3/4, 429616 -
