[nagdu] vaccinations

[Danielle Sykora]

Thank you everyone for your responses. The three year rabies vaccine
is the only one which is required in my area, at least to get a
license. I would think the puppy booster shots are sufficient to
protect against most diseases, at least for several years. I have not
yet had Thai for a year so I haven't had to vaccinate him yet. My pet
dog however was lethargic to the point that she couldn't even stand up
for several hours after her vaccination which makes me hesitant to
give vaccinations frequently.
