Just in case you were wondering...

I'm glad to hear Joey did well. I'm so sorry about Carley! We have always avoided bundling the vaccinations and my two have still had small reactions.

Just saw this now. I am glad Joey came out fine! Wishing them both of a speedy recovery.

Sorry Carley had to go through that. Many vets will not give that many shots at once to a small dog. We made many trips to the vet before Gracie finally had all her immunizations. They give these dogs the same amount of vaccine as they do larger dogs. Some little ones just cannot handle it. Maybe consider not having them all done at once next time. Hope she is feeling better soon.

Yeah. They're in a big RV/van thing.

Just wanted to clarify a bit - Carley is a big dog - a Lab. Although, even with the info I have these days, I'm really becoming anti-vaccine on any dog (big or small). Well, not anti-vaccine, but anti-yearly. Studies are really starting to show that we over vaccinate our dogs.

Carley is a big dog, 55lbs But I wont be giving her shots together again! And she surely wont get the DAPPL.

Do they have everything encase something goes wrong? Do they have the ability to do the presurgery blood work?

She said they have everything they need. And they did the pre-op blood work. Everything came back fine.
Theyre not just for dogs/cats, they also do large animals (horses and cattle) so I am assuming they are fine with small pets too.

That's kinda interesting.

I guess having that kind of reaction in a Lab would cause you to consider other options. We are not revaccinating Gracie. She will have titers from time to time. Yearly vaccination makes no sense when the animals is still carrying the antibody.

I am so glad they are both ok.

Thats what I am thinking too. Its not like we have random animals coming into our home all the time. She wont be exposed to anything here, and after the way she reacted to it, I will not do that again to her.
