Review content:
My puppy got very sick after having her LEPTO vaccine. They told me that some dogs have a reaction, but I would call this a little more than a "reaction".She had the vaccine at 10 am on a Saturday, and woke up at 3am on Sunday vomiting, and did not stop. I was waiting at the door the next morning for ULVH to open with my sick pup. Dr. Szasz told me there was no way my pup would have this type of reaction so long after the vaccine, a vaccine reaction would normally occur within the first few hours. They gave her some medication to stop the vominting. (Which of course they charged me $50 for, on top of what I already paid) Monday at 3 am she woke up vomiting again, and once again I was back at the vet first thing. This litterally went on for 6 days. They ran all sorts of test, took x-rays, and even decided to spay her a little early so they could do exploratory surgery. After biopsying her intestines, and sending them out for testing, they let me know that she is perfectly healthy. They really weren't sure what was causing her to get so sick. So $1500.00 later I still had no answers. However they did recommend that we continue with the series of LEPTO vaccines. I said no, and Dr. Herdon tried to make me feel like a bad pet owner. I did some research on the LEPTO vaccine, and I read that some dogs have had seziures, lost feeling in their hind quarters, and in a few cases some dogs died after having the vaccine. During that week, Ibelieve we saw every vet in the on staff, and they all told me there is no way the LEPTO vaccine would cause her to be so sick. I feel that they really don't care about anything but the money. This vet office is much more expensive then most, and the quality of care is severly lacking. I will say,out of everyonedid like Dr. Hawker, however I will not be returning. My puppy is my baby, she is so important to me, and I hate to see her in pain. Before your vet tells you your dog has to have a vaccine,do some research.
