| I am hysterical, praying for my puppy I am a wreck, I have cried nonstop for almost 2 hours. Martinis dad took her to the vet today to get her rabies, she got her 2nd 9 way this past Thursday. We noticed a knot at the injection site and the vet said it was more then likely from the vaccine and should be ok and he will look at it Tuesday.(today). My fiancé just called me and told me they are keeping martini overnight and she has to be a minor surgery this afternoon to remove an abscess that's an allergic reaction from the vaccination. I am so upset,my baby is only 4 months old she has also lost almost another half a pound since last week but the 2 vets don't seem to be concerned with that, they took her temperature and drew some blood but they said she is in no way looks malnourished , too thin or unhealthy in any way. They don't think it's her liver because she has no symptoms of anything other then that abscess. She literally just pooped before her appointment and hadn't eaten since and they think that is part of the reason and her not feeling 100% because of the reaction. Even though you would ever Beale to tell she doesn't feel 100%. They also said their puppy scale only goes in .25 incriments so ifshesbetween a half pound and 1.25 it can draw the reading to the lower end even if she weighs 1.49oz. Please pray for my baby I am so scared and I feel like my heart could break. |

| Praying for your puppy, Martini. Will there be someone in the office all night monitoring her? If not, I would transfer her to a 24 hour hospital after the procedure. Also, I would wait on the rabies vaccine until she is 6 months old.

| There is a tech there, and I am waiting for rabies. They said they want to give her another 5 way next week to get her fully vaccinated since she can't take the 9way. |

| I am so sorry! I am sure it is just the abcess but it would not hurt to have her BATs checked just to make sure the liver is ok. I hear there are not always signs. I mean, if they are checking and doing all this other stuff, can't hurt to run that bloodwork for BATs, ya know. Hugs!! Hang in there!! You are getting Martini taken care of and you are great parents. It's so hard when our littles are under the weather; I totally understand the agony you are in. We are here for your support, ok! Please keep us posted.

| I would wait 4 weeks between any vaccines... just safer that way, especially for smaller, younger dogs/pups. See Dr Dodds' protocol in the YT library. What's the rush anyway?

YT 2000 Club Member | OM Gosh, you have to so scared! Martini is in my prayers and thoughts. I hope it is just a reaction from the shot and not something worse. These little ones can't take the shots like bigger ones. Do not get the rabies until she is 6 months and wait at least 2-4 weeks between other shots! What is a 9 way shot? We don't get those here in Iowa. Even the Lepto gets left out of the shot until they are 1 year. I hope her weight picks up and she comes back, eating like a little piggy! Hugs for you and Martini!

| So sorry to hear this. Like everyone says "hang in" and stick with your vet if you have confidence in the - if not get another opinion I have a 4 year old that is considered very small. She gets only one shot a month apart, ONLY. Do read Dr Dodds article. Frankly, starting this year I only titer and am working on a vet waiver for rabies. I'm sure others here on YT can give you there experience and thoughts. You have come to a group with a wealth of experience and willingness to share Will be thinking about you and Martini with prayers!

| I'd like to echo what others are saying because I left that out of my original reply and didn't mean to. Don't get any more vaccinations right now until this issue is well resolved. And don't do combined/multi vaccines at one time ok? space them out a couple of weeks..these little breeds just can't handle all the vaccines like bigger dogs (and even some of those have reactions, too).
