| I know you weren't blaming the OP. It sounds like you were blaming the vet.

| Dr. Center has changed her protocol and now recommends that puppies shouldn't have a bile acids test before 20 weeks. Her studies with her AKC grant have suggested that the organs aren't developed enough before 20 weeks and results may not be accurate. |

| My vet will not test young puppies as he says it is too hard on the puppy and not accurate at such a young age. He doesn't want to give my Yorkie pups rabies shots until they are 16 weeks old. He said the manufacturers do not even guarantee the shot on puppy under 16 weeks old. In Pa. by law they must have rabies by 12 weeks old. He had to write me a letter and sign it so I could show the dog warden when he came by for inspection. The dog warden says he cannot override what the vet says is best. I have read alot on the over vaccinination also and do believe it does have alot to do with some of the problems in the breeds of dogs. My puppies get 4 shots starting at 7weeks old. My adults are vaccinated with 5 way every 3 yrs. Rose I am so sorry you lost your baby. Some people do not know the sleepless nights waiting for the puppies birth or the one ear attuned even while asleep for the smallest sound of discomfort. The puppy contract should be adhered to by buyer and seller. With guarantee covering genetic health. |

| THANK YOU I THINK ABOUT LITTLE TEASER EVERYTIME I LOOK AT A CUTE PUPPY FACE AND I FEEL HIS DEATH WAS IN VAIN i will never test that early again it is to risky and a waste of money as the test really proves nothing at this stage in the game on ones so young |
