C5 injection
Hi there,
We have a fantastic little Maltese-Chitzu. He's about 18 months old. The vet keeps saying we need to have him injected once a year with the C5 stuff for protection? I'm not even sure what C5 does, or what we are protecting against? Does anyone have any clues? If it is essential then I'll get it done, but if it's not critical then why go through the extra expense. I'm just watching my pennies at present. Kulander Sydney, Australia |

Its what we can kennel cough in the States and what I think you call canine cough. If you never plan to board your dog or take him to doggy-daycares or the like then he doesn't necessarily *need* the C5 but IMO it doesn't hurt and is absolutely necessary if you're going to have him around alot of other dogs. -- Tara |
