According to a friend of mine who knows, vaccines will make the animal, adult or
pup, feel like "H-E-L-L" for up to a couple of weeks. I so wish that you had
not allowed the vet to win this one. I can't imagine how bad the pup feels with
the double wammy of the surgery and the vaccine. We all live and learn though.
After researching vaccines, I would not even allow the rabies vaccine to be
given at the same time as the other vaccines on the rescues that I've had. For
the future pups in your life, please do some research on the subject.

Aside from having them prove to you by showing you the "law" I would ask them how quickly they think the vaccine takes effect? I am always floored when vets...

Requiring an animal to be vaccinated at the same time as surgery is absurd! I would report this vet to the AVMA for malpractice. My JRT just had to have...
