Vaccines--Half doses

A few days after we got our female maltese, I took her to my vet for the vaccinations. The day after she was barely consious.!! The emergency vet said her glucose level was extrememly low. I spoke with the breeder who said that "her" vet usually gives half doses of the vaccines. My puppy is 1.6lbs and was given 1cc of parvo and hepititis. A few days later she developed small scabs on her back. My vet, how told me that skin problems were a sign of a reaction to the vacc. refuses to give her half doses from now on. My question is-- Will my puppy be properly immunized with half doses and if not then what are my options so that she lives through these vaccinations. Please help Thanks,

• Something to warn Maltese owners about is Lepto. When your dog gets its DHLPP shot ask the vet about giving it to them without the L (Lepto). Maltese have been known to be highly allergic to this and I have seen Maltese turn very pink and swell up, almost unconscious and it was an ellergic reaction to this in the vaccination. I don't know about half doses, you may want to call another vet to get a second opinion?

• If your vet refuses to give a half dose after the reaction your puppy had, you should consider another Vet. Your vet should always take your wishes into consideration. He does not have to agree, but you are not required to follow his recommendations. What would you tell a Dr. that wanted to give a child a shot that you felt could cause the child harm. My vet offers the half dose to small dogs. Find a Vet more willing to consider your wishes.
