| another vet question My local vet has a deal for the following... Delux Dog Package -Exam -Dist/Parvo Vaccine -Rabies Vaccine -Lyme Vaccine -Fecal Exam -Heartworm Blood Test -Bordetella Vaccine -Leptospirosis Vaccine -4DX Blood Test So I am going to bring Kaos on the 6th when there next appointment is.

| No way would I give all those shots especially all in one sitting. To each their own, but I don't even like the lepto or the lyme vaccine. But that's a matter of finding out how prevalent it is in your area. Though I wouldn't get lymes vaccine either way (and I am in a tick-heavy area). I also don't like to give rabies on the same day as anything else. But I am sure some dogs do fine with it. Jackson had a really bad reaction to the lepto vaccine so never again for him. Bordatella depends... will he be going to dog parks, around lots of other dogs, pet stores, boarded, etc? I DO get Jackson bordatella (the one that goes up the nose) because we've dealt with kennel cough twice and it's just kind of annoying.... so I'm trying to stay UTD with it. But it's not a necessary vaccine by any means and KC is pretty easy to treat most of the time.

| I don't get mine the Lepto, Lymes, nor the Bordetella vaccines, and I get them the DHPP then one month later we go back for the Rabies. All those vaccines on the same day or too close together would overwhelm their immune system and make them sick. Also, if a dog did have a reaction to one of those vaccines, you wouldn't be able to tell which one caused the reaction.

I split up Taycie's vaccines up as well. I do the Dis/Parvo seperate. Then I go back in usually 3 weeks time period and do Rabies. I always do Rabies separate. I also opt to do Bordatella. Some don't care for it but Taycie is out and about where alot of dogs are so I do it. As far as the Lyme and Lepto go, my vet does not recommend them. They hardly have cases here in Utah so for us we don't do it.

| I would not get all those shots at the same time and you also need to cheek and see if you have lepto problems in your area as well as if ticks are a problem. I get the Lepto shot for Callie because my mom had a goat die of lepto, I get the lyme because no mater what tick preventive I use tiny ticks like to bite Callie and I also get the bordatella because I like to take Callie places as much a possible like to pet stores, dog parks and expos. I like preventing her from getting sick instead of her getting sick and then having to treat it.
