THANKS to all of you for trying to help us out!!

Glad to hear that Lily is feeling better.

Are you also giving her nutri-cal, to make sure that she has enough calories and nutrients since she is not eating a lot right now?

Reb was neutered and had 3 teeth removed at 5 months and 2.4 lbs. He did great!

My problem was keeping him from jumping off the footstool afterwards!

Lily is back to jumping too!! She gets her stitches out today. They want to give her more SHOTS?? "BRONCHISHIELD" today and "DHLPPC VACCINE BOOSTER" in 3-4 weeks???? She has had all her "shots" before she was spayed but a different vet spayed her than I had been taking her to for all her "PUPPY SHOTS" etc. Is this too many SHOTS?? THANKS.....I take her later today and I won't let them give her the shot if she doesn't need it!!!

Without knowing what she had received on past vet's visits it's hard to say whether or not she needs more vaccines. I wouldn't give her the lepto portion of the vaccine (that's what the "L" stands for in DHLPP). I'm not familiar with Bronchishield and w/o knowing have now idea if she needs it or not.

Take the vaccine records with you from your other vet. And, be hesitant to accept anymore vaccines for your little one.....it sounds as if she shouldn't need more (except rabies?).

Some vets are really over-zealous in giving our little ones vaccines - more and more, the research is showing our pets are over-vaccinated.

I did take her records with me that showed she has had her shots including rabies. That is "Kennel Cough" I think they want to give her today? "BRONCHISHIELD" When she got so sick after her spay and I called them and the vet said "I will give you the money back for the shot she had if you think she didn't need it"!! I think they give too much just for the money there and that is why I don't want them to give her anything that she doesn't need. The vet that I took her to since I got her doesn't give all that and says she doesn't need it. I would have got her spayed there too but they couldn't do it so I had to take her somewhere else and that is what happened. I am only taking her back there to get her stitches out today but I know they will want to give her a shot!! I have to take her on airplane in 2 weeks so I need a "health certificate" to fly her so that is why I have to take her too!!

If she has had A set of shots every three weeks , three times then she does not need any more . She has had her Rabies shot, correct? You do not need to give the "reccomened" vaccines . Some of those, including the Lepto are very dangerous for the smaller breeds .
whoever did the vaccines on your baby should give you the Certificate when they are completed. I have one for My suzi and was no big deal at all. I think it gets hard when you have to switch to a new vet, but if you have the records it still should have been okay.

THANKS EVERYONE!!
Lily got her stitches out yesterday and "NO SHOTS"!! They charged me $17.00 for the "health certificate" to take her on the airplane!!lol I think they did that because I didn't want anymore SHOTS!! I won't take her back to that place ever again!! We live out in the country in WV and it isn't easy to find a vet that deals with little dogs.
