Jen if he demands the rabies, then for her safety I would delay the surgery and get the shot tomorrow....

That's why I said if I don't like the way things go, I will post-pone the surgery. I'm not about to take any chances with my girls. But I'm also concerned because Cali is 7 months old and I do NOT want her to get her first period. I really want to get her spayed before her first period (for health purposes). So let's hope the doctor will work with me and allow me to get the rabies shot in 1 or 2 weeks.

Oh jen, I know how it feels to worry to death about your baby, in this case...babies. I know you fully trust your vet so they awill be in good hands.

I am here for you no matter what...even if you want to celebrate the success of the surgery. I'm only one phone call away and 15minutes driving!

Your babies are in my thoughts and prayers. I ran into the same thing with the rabies shot. Only reason I let baby get one was because She needed the spay/ teeth cleaning/ teeth extractions. I got the shot a week before surgery!! Try and get the shot before the surgery so you can monitor their reaction to it. I know how worried you must be !! I was so very scared I stayed at the vets office until the vet was done. These lil ones are so precious to us!! You all will be in my prayers!!!

I pray for the best outcome for you all. I was thinking can't oyu skip the rabies for Cali. SHe is such a small girl it might damage her liver. I know its required by law but I know some yorkies breeders that don't ever do it because they don't feel its necessary for their babies and think is har on their bodies. How much those Cali weigh?

She needs to have at least 1 rabies shot in her life. I've read that some dogs only need 1 shot and it could lost years, maybe even their whole life span. But according to NY law, a dog must get a rabies shot every year. Also, I travel a lot (via plane) and I must have a current rabies vaccination tag and vet certification each time.

Cali is still 1 lb and 3 oz on a full stomach. She may be small (heck, the word small doesn't even begin to describe her lolol ) but she's feisty and healthy. She was bred very well.
