Thanks, both of you. The 5 month old pup, Henry, is due for her Parvo booster shot. I took her to the nearest vet office yesterday morning, and they wanted to conduct an exam ($37) before administering the booster shot. If I go with the vet, I'll just take her back to the original vet, which is a bit of a drive for me. The local pet store mentioned that with pups, it's a bit more tricky and so I'll take her back to the original vet who has all her records. I don't want to make her sick by giving her a shot when i'm so unskilled and lacking knowledge of these things. Not sure about my other 4 pets, but I know I can't afford vet bills!
