| So to keep with the OP's post I wouldn't give more shots just because the Vet said so. Wouldn't do much good except over vaccinate. Give them there third and booster. Not the same as drawing blood you inject just into the skin or muscle. PPl can act like it's hard go ahead. Just go to the Vet. Give the pup extra shots if your not sure. Won't matter much if they are young. |

| Okay guess I didn't know that. But fwiw I don't give shots. But would think a breeder who does would know better and be prepared? Losing a pup is alot of $$. Just I grew up seeing ppl give shots to Livestock/ Horses ect.. I'm not trying to insult ppl just seen it done many times. Livestock is worth $$. |

| Some reactions do not happen instantly. True the most live threatening and those that require life or death immediately require immediate medical attention.

| There are different levels/degrees of reactions to vaccines/triggers. Even with Epi on hand, the vet should still see the pet for supportive care after the Epi injection is given. I used to vaccinate my own pets for years. I stopped because the incidences of vaccine reactions in Yorkies and other small breeds seems to be on the rise, and I don't completely trust the vaccine manufacturers with quality control. Also the fact that vaccines are still being made as a one-size-fits-all, which is insane. To think that my little Yorkies get the exact same amount of vaccine as my neighbor's Great Dane is just crazy. So my vet does it now. We hang around the vet's office for about an hour after a vaccine, then I go home and watch them like a hawk. Any weird behavior earns them a trip back to the vet. Anything I use on my pups, I make sure it's during regular vet business hours, like Heartworm treatment and topical flea preventative. The day they get something, I plan on being home with them so I can watch them for any types of reactions, and seek treatment if it is needed. Many may see this as overkill, lol... but alas, I am old, and I have been there and done that. Too many weekends spent at the ER Vet, lol, so now I pick my times for the unexpected to most likely occur. In the end, it all depends on the amount of risk each individual owner is willing to take with his/her pets. One will continue until one knows better.

| Sounds like a good practice. I have Oliver's appts scheduled on my days off. His vet is a 24 hour animal clinic.

| Great choices! That way too, in an emergency all his records are right there and the vet may already be familiar with your dog... optimal situation!
