Hi Naturella. Just saw your posts here. I wish I’d known Bruno’s vet visit was today. I would have advised you (oh, who’s kidding who here, you know me). I would have demanded you not give him the Bordatella the same week as the others. The sleepiness is from the Bordatella. When I used to do all that with Hannah I always waited a week or two for the Bordatella because of the overload to her system all at the same time. Don’t forget we have small dogs. The vaccines are the exact same dose regardless of size of dog. The rabies is the exact same one whether they write down one year or three. Question. If Bruno got his rabies shot last year then why did he get one this year? You’re in Cobb County same as me with only a three year requirement. Just wondering how the vet convinced you to do that.
Grrrrrrh! Vets just drive me nuts.
Oh, on the HW question you asked earlier, I give the girls Sentinel which I purchase at the vet (I don’t trust buying meds like that on line. Too risky for my taste) every month year round. You know how the weather is here. You never know what the weather is going to be here at any time of the year. The nights don’t normally stay cold enough for a long enough period of time here in the winter. Last Winter was an exception with all the snow and cold but who knew it was going to do that. In the past I’ve gotten plenty of mosquito bites in the dead of Winter. Of course, I’m a mosquito magnet. I know a lot of people in other areas can get away with not doing it year round but not here in the South. Heart worms is a really nasty thing and the cure is long, horrible, long periods of confinement and arsenic is used in the treatment of the disease. Not with my baby girls. This is one of those areas where for me giving HW meds is the lesser of the two evils.
