I received a call from the guy who gave me the puppy and told me not to have Sam vaccinated.
They finally told me the truth that he wasn't fully two months old. Unfortunately, Sam's already scheduled for 5 in 1 by next week.
The vet who happened to be new and a guy didn't even bother checking his teeth to know his age
Base from my experience, you can't bath / wet your dog / puppy after a rabies vaccination, I wonder if it's the same with 5 in 1 vaccine.

don't bathe the puppy yet if that will make your at ease... and reschedule his vaccination if the pup is not in the age of vaccination yet.

Can you have a second opinion from another vet. If you can't maybe it's best to play safe.

Hello @yoalldudes Now that's a solution I strongly consider. That's true, that vet clinic had make mistakes before.

Never risk the life of a puppy if you are not sure of. Just choose to be in the safer side.

@Letranknight2015 well I hate saying this but like most doctors they tend not to have a personal touch with those we love. All is business.

Hello @jstory07 To be honest with you He didn't even check the puppy so I would probably just have it rescheduled.

I don't know why a dog cannot get a bath after a vaccine. I have never heard of that. I think teeth show an appointment age but not exact. If you know how old the dog is for sure then that is best. If he is not old enough for the vaccine yet then reschedule the appointment as I think it can kill them if they are given it to early.

@Letranknight2015 I don't think the dog being sprinkled with water and the dog dying were connected.

Hello @JudyEv Now that I look back at it it seems that he's not being serious about the puppy.

yes, i believe a dog/puppy should not be bathed for one week.

Maybe you should wait till he is three months old. I knew it is the advice of vets. Yes, you also should not bathe him for some time even after the five-in-one vaccination.

The puppy is adorable.Do you know another vet you can talk to? This guy sounds terrible. I hate when you are not told the truth. When I adopted Sophie from this lady I know she did not tell me much and it was hard to get anything out of her.

Hello @Hannihar He wasn't being serious with his diagnosis and didn't check the puppies. So much for his incompetence.

That is not good. I would not go back to him again. I found vets I did not like that all and now we have a woman vet that comes to our home.
