| Shots Fynnlie's getting puppy shots today. He doesn't know yet because I didn't tell him... I don't want him to get to be afraid of going to the vet! He's going to be a very unhappy boy. I'm an unhappy momma! Wish us luck! Does anyone have any suggestions to make it better?

| It's his second round of puppy shot(s). I'm actually not sure how many he has to get. One or two...

| Just asking because while DHPP (also called DAPP) is fine (comes as a combo), giving rabies at the same time isn't really a good idea (and most vets do it). Also, lepto should be separated if it has to be given (which is not often). It's better for them and reduces the occurrence of reactions.

| Good luck! I hate having to take Jackson to the vet, but they get through it. Jackson got his second round at 12 weeks old, and he got DHLPP, but he had a reaction to the 'L' part (which is Lepto vaccine). Just a forewarning, a lot of little dogs have bad reactions to lepto, but discuss with your vet how dangerous lepto is in your area and if it's a necessary vaccine to give. Alot of dogs do fine with it, and others don't!

As far as the DHPP, should I be expecting anything bad with it? What about the lepto? Does he really need to get it? Should I tell his vet that I don't want the lepto?

| The longer you wait, the better for lepto. It should be given as a single. It is given twice (three weeks apart) and then every year. Best not to give with other vaccines since reactions aren't uncommon. Yorkies are particularly sensitive (along with other small breeds). It should only be given if the bacteria is prevalent in your area. Only you and your vet decide if the risk of the disease outweighs the risk of the vaccine. He may be sore and tired from the DHPP. Most do fine with it. Children's Benadryl should be handy and know the dose (you can ask the vet to calculate it). They should tell you what side effects they'd be concerned about.

| Update Fynnlie got two shots last night. Bordetella and DHPP. I talked to the vet and the vets wife, his VA, at length about the Lepto. They both agreed to wait a little until he's bigger before giving the Lepto. YAY! He did really well with everything! Except, the thermometer up his bottom and the second shot. The first one caught him by surprise and he just yelped a little. He screamed and cried and cried and CRIED over the second shot. It broke my heart. My poor Fynnie! He weighs 2.7lbs! He's growing nicely! He was 1.5lbs when I picked him up! YAY!

| I'm glad he got through it okay, poor little guy. Do some research online about Lepto before giving it to him, toy breeds can have pretty severe reactions to it. If you don't have wildlife nearby, I wouldn't even do it. I didn't research the vaccine, and almost lost Addie because of it. She was given the rabies and the DHLPP at the same time. Now she doesn't get Lepto, and the two shots (rabies and DHPP) are given two to four weeks apart. This year all of mine are getting the three year rabies and a titer test for everything else. If they need boosters on anything, it will be two to four weeks after the rabies (only given because it's required by law). Mine are also never outside without someone with them.
