If you choose to do lepto, it is given as a combo shot as DHLPP. Then you have to do a lepto booster, I believe every year and there are some vets who say for it to be really effective you have to do every 6 months.

| If you do Lepto I would do it alone and ask the vet to pretreat with benadryl just to try and avoid any reactions.

| I disagree. The vet can administer medications if there is a reaction and that is why I would just hang out for 30-45 mins. I have never pretreated with benadryl and in a dog that has not previously reacted to a vaccine, it is not standard of care to do it.

| I'm sure each vet is different I'll talk to my vet and see what he prefers for Miley.

| Sorry, the puppy shots are listed differently. DH2P is distemper CPV is parvo The booster is DH2PP Maybe Ellie May can be more specific than I can about this.

I don't like to do shots -- no one does -- but at this age, they are important for Miley. Good luck!

| That is so the truth when I took Callie for her first puppy shots she screamed it was terrible.

Cinders acts like it's nothing to get a shot. She gives the vet techs kisses as their giving the shot! I remember doing the rabies shot separate from all other shots. I took the day off incase she had a reaction, and she was the 1st appointment at the vets that day. I am beyond grateful that I found this vet! They understand yorkie needs. I really don't know how I got so lucky. They know what I need to do for Cinders before I ask. Out of the 4 vets near me, they are in the smallest building, and it's an old house that's been remodeled into the vet practice. I never thought such an awesome staff was inside when I first went there.

| Each dog responds differently to the shots. My Bella didn't make a peep, but when she got home, she was drowsy and out of it for a few hours, but perked up later. Bella had her rabies vaccination along with her puppy shots, but that was before I read on Yorkietalk that it was best to space them out. She did fine, but Bella is a TANK. I recommend that you definitely get the DHPP vaccination, and that you separately vaccinate for rabies at least 3 weeks later. Let us know what your vet recommends. |

| this is another one of those really controvercial topics. I agree with the rabies not being given until at least 6 months. These little guys won't be left to run wild in the forest, so the chances of getting rabies is rare.... it is the law here so I have to have it, otherwise, I wouldn't. I do not get shots for anything unless my dogs are likely to be in direct contact with the virus... but that is just me .... vets will vaccinate for everything all the time... it is a huge moneymaker, and for us dog owners a huge puzzle... what is best for the dog??? a lot of controversy for sure. |

| I asked my vet about Lepto. He said it wasn't something my girls needed for my area. Ask your vet. I separate the shots for my girls. The vet said more dogs are having a reaction to the rabies shot now. I wouldn't do the lepto and DHPP together. Just my opinion.

| Many vets do over vaccinate. I prefer Dr. Dodd's vaccination schedule: Dr. Jean Dodds' Pet Health Resource Blog | Dr. Dodds' 2012 Canine Vaccination Protocol Put off the rabies shot as long as you can and never let the vet give the rabies shot at the same time as the core vaccines.
