Question
Thank you so much Jo Ann.  I won't have her vaccinated at the same time.  I will let you know the outcome and I will follow your advice to the best of my ability. As far as the LOVE you mentioned I should give her.....She'll be showered with that!!  

BTW, when I click on the follow up question, it brings me to a new sign in page.  I don't see where I can give you a review.  AAAAAA 1 is what I would give you!! Thanks again.  Esther

Answer
Esther,

Thanks so much for this reply!  I'm very happy that you decided NOT to vaccinate her at the same time as the spay or possible other procedure.  You won't regret that decision insofar as her health goes. And, Esther, I have NO DOUBT that she will be showered with LOVE!  It's very apparent that you want the best for her and that you're eager to find out what's best.

Thank you so much for the comment about the rating you would give me.  The reason that you could not rate my answer to your prior question is because of the way my answer to you was categorized - it was categorized as more of a "response" than a definitive answer.  This time, you're receiving a definitive answer!

I can answer most questions as they relate to health, behavior, new home adjustment, litter box training, new puppy care, fear aggression, separation anxiety, new vaccination protocols, medications to avoid, the latest developments in veterinary medicine, the most common medical problems seen in this breed and the effects of bad and irresponsible breeding. I can also speak to common personality traits of this breed due to vast experience with a great number of Chihuahuas and Chihuahua owners. I am not, however, a breeder of Chihuahuas and claim no experience in that area and DO NOT ANSWER QUESTIONS THAT HAVE TO DO WITH BREEDING -you need to check with a qualified veterinarian if you plan to breed your Chihuahua or if your Chihuahua is having problems with a pregnancy or you're having problems with pups that you bred - this is not the proper forum to address those issues and a delay in seeking proper medical treatment can have grave consequences for your dog.
