Seriously, the date (make it no earlier than the 16 week mark, just tell your vet your schedule is such that you can't get in before then) that your vet wants to administer that last distemper/parvo shot insist on a titer instead (you may really have to insist, don't let them bully you) and have them do the rabies shot then. It'll take a good week or longer to get the titer results back, so if it turns out that his antibiody levels AREN'T high enough (which honestly would surprise me), you can easily push that out another couple weeks so that the vaccines aren't on top of each other.
Ok, that vaccine I don't have a problem with (well, I DO, but not the same way), I was worried it was the DHLPP version though, which is basically that Spectra 5 AND the lepto vaccine all in one and I was going to tell you to hit the roof if they'd done that without warning you....
I'll find out exactly what the vet game him Tuesday too. They won't do the rabies shot even a day earlier than 16 weeks here because the county/city won't issue a license then.
He had shots at six weeks and now nine weeks. He's scheduled for another round at 12 and then 15-16. Think I should push the 12 week one another week, doing it at 13 weeks then do a titer at 16 weeks?
I have no plans of taking him out in public until a week after his rabies shot, with the exception of possibly taking him to a puppy training and socialization class. They'll require he's up to date on shots I'm sure.
