I appreciate people, like you, that take an interest in such an important issue...Wouldn't you think that just the weight of the Yorkie would be enough of a risk to warrant exemption from a rabies vaccination?...Has anyone investigated making a vaccine, suitable for a dog's weight, instead of the same dose for all dogs, no matter weight? |
Thank you for posting this! I have a friend in VA that will be very interested. It's nice to know some States are finally getting it - that it is possible to harm a pet with vaccinations. |
You're welcome! |
