tdierikx Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 After working with special needs dog rescue for a number of years... my experience was to discuss possibilities of caesarians and other complications with the vet well ahead of time... *grin* T.

Unfortunately, due to the composition of the various vaccines, they do need to be done by a licensed vet, but theoretically you could negotiate a lower cost for doing an entire litter. T. Try and negotiate when it is midnight and you have a crisis on your hands! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the US you can buy the C3, C5, C7, etc. and DIY. When I left it was under $10/jab, and half that if you buy in bulk. The only problem with DIY is that you don't have certification as required for kennels, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So technically, you could do it yourself, but as you said, you won't be able to provide certificates as required by transport, kennels, etc... 10 hours ago, JRG said: Try and negotiate when it is midnight and you have a crisis on your hands! Which is why you should be discussing options for complications well before they occur... like during pre-natal checkups... T. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
