New to Yorkie Talk

[Dan & Corinne]

Where in CA are you? I have a great vet in So. Cal.

I'm so sorry your baby passed away. It's awful that a routine vaccination took her life. My vet gives "Holistic" doses - Just enough to satisfiy the law. He is one of the few vets who believes pet are over vaccinated.

PM me if you want more info.

oh, Kim, that is so sad .... did the rabies shot have anything to do with her passing?

I am so sorry to hear your story. My heart would be broken also.
I hope you get a new baby to help you heal, and that everything goes smoothly.
You came to the right place to meet nice people with great advice.

and welcome to YT!

(she was about 9 months old). I talked to the breeder recently and she has a litter due, so I will probably be getting my little one in a few months, around January.

Thank you very much for your time, and I look forward to making new friends.

Hello,
I would be very interested in your "holistic" vet. I looked online yesterday and the closest ones I found were in Hollywood, but I would be willing to drive, no problem. I am in the Cochella Valley, (Palm Springs Area).
Thank you All
Kim

Welcome..so sorry to hear about your baby..Did she die from the rabi shot?

[KimberlySRN]

Hello,
The rabies shot is what we believed caused her death. Since she was so small I was kind of scared to get it in the first place, but the vet kept saying to get it, so I told him I would wait til she was a bit bigger to get it. (9 months). We got her the shot and I even waited at the vets office for a little just in case. The next morning I took her out as usually to play with before I went to work, then when I got back a few hours later she had passed away in her bed. I called the breeder and we talked about it, and she was a healthy, gorgeous little gal before the shot and even had a vet check and everything, then after the shot she was gone.
Thats originally why I found YT Cause I wanted to see peoples opinions on the subject. I found a few studies that had to do with rabies, and I have foundthat quite a few people have opted not to give there little ones rabies shots. I have also found that there are some vets that will give shot according to the dogs size, and that is what I would love to find. I went on a site that had a list but the closest one is in Hollywood, and their last training date was like 99'. I am willing to travel for a good vet, and then have one in my area in case of emergencies. (I can't find a holistic vet in my area)

Welcome to YT. You'll find a lot of helful people here.

I know mine is supposed to get her rabi shot in 2 weeks(she will be 15 weeks), I don't understand why they can't wait awhile longer with her, heck, she doesn't even go outside(she's pee pad trained)..I've just never heard of one dying from a rabi shot though..
