Fair enough, for you and your situation. However, my lifestyle is relatively active as we take Teddy through woodlands, parks, fields etc. Therefore, professional recommendations vary with each situation as would be expected for vets and other medical professionals who give advice according to medical ethics. A blanket approach is never a good idea since we all live in different conditions. I would hope that if the vet disagreed with you, they would say instead of let you dictate treatment unless you have the relevant qualifications. Although, I do agree that we should question everything since that is how we learn. | |

And, I don't have a view at all, I just shared my experiences based on advice that was provided to me by my vet for my circumstances which I would urge all to do in order to make informed decisions. Last edited by SirTeddykins; 01-11-2016 at 01:27 PM. | |

| Even though Cricket weighs 8 lbs, Because of her liver issues, my vet didn't want to risk giving it to her. My regular vet died suddenly at the end of October, and so my new vet, (that's in the same building). I had to tell her that Cricket doesn't get that vaccine. But there was no question or issue with it. My parents have two other dogs one of them being a Bassett hound, that Cricket is around and that Bassett gets the vaccine.

Jackson had a horrible reaction 7 years ago (not 10+) and my current vet STILL sees a lot of reactions with little dogs (way more than bigger dogs).

| We opt out of both Lyme and Lepto here because of all the previously posted. I think a lot of vets push unnecessary vaccinations and it's essential to be an informed pet parent.

| When we got our dog as a puppy, he is three now, our breeder warned us to never get this vaccine. She said a few of her other clients gave it to their puppies and they died. So, unless you feel it is absolutely necessary, I would avoid this vaccine. All the best with whatever decision you make. Quote:

I have looked into titers and those are virtually useless after puppy hood so I don't know what the right answer is apart from I don't believe all vets are ONLY after money. Science is shaky for animals and humans so we do our best. | |

| I was told by my vet the common way they get it is drinking puddles that wildlife has urinated in, this doesn't seem to be something Ella is exposed to. My vet said she is always very cautious with vax but esp lepto vax in small dogs. |
