New puppy first vet visit!

[Bentleysmom1985]

Ok so I have an appmt with the vet on Sat and I am clueless about what to expect. He already had his first set of vaccines so I'll be taking that record with me.

Also the breeder said to do the rabies shot after the last set of vaccines, instead of at the same time...

What should I be asking the vet or what should I expect?

When did your puppy get the rabies shot? Any bad reactions?

Thank you!

That's a good idea , my vet waited 2 weeks after the last set of shots to give them there rabies vaccine .. Its better for the pup , I was told

Hope everything goes well. How old is Bentley? Peanut had the rabies at 6 months. I agree I think you should wait until you do the rabies shot, get everything else done and then do the rabies. Peanut has reactions to vaccines in general- so when he is due I drop him off at the vet and they will give him the bendarly injection, then wait and administer the vaccines. Once Bentley gets his shots you just have to watch him. Any swelling, or vomiting take him into the vet right away.

Mine got theirs when they were 6 months of age. Ask for Benedryl before the shot is given. You should make sure he is weighted upon arrival, have concerns or question written ahead of time because you might forget to ask something! Make sure he gets a complete exam.....heart, lungs, ears, teeth, mouth, eyes, tummy, skin, etc. Good luck!
