Question
My daughter's father had bought her a Yorkieshire two months ago. When we first got her the very next day we took her to get shots. She was 4months so they gave her the rabbies shot and something else.  We were suppose to take her back in 3weeks to get her other set of shots but we didn't. Is Bootz going to have to get her shots all over again or will she just get the shots that she is missing. Also is she going to get sick or because she didn't get her shots when she was suppose to.

Answer
Missed shots are of little consequence unless the dog is exposed to something in the mean time.  There shouldn't be anything worse than a scolding from the vet.  Sometimes you get away with bad practices.  Get the shots as soon as you can.  Be careful about dogs you expose it to.  It won't be safe until 2 weeks after the shots.  

Good time to talk to the vet about spaying her too.  Put that off and you are faced with the mess, hassles, and risks of having her in season.
