You may have seen 7x7’s efforts to help us find Violet, the puppy that was stolen earlier this week from the San Francisco SPCA Adoption Center. It is disturbing that someone would do such a thing, but especially unconscionable since the perpetrator is putting this puppy’s health and life at risk. Violet has not yet completed her series of vaccinations, including the inoculation for rabies and the final vaccination for the parvovirus. Puppies who are not fully vaccinated should not be allowed to touch the ground because they are susceptible to the many pathogens that they might encounter.

Welcome to our weekly 'Ask a Vet from the SF SPCA' feature on 7x7.com. Dr. Jeannine Berger, DVM, DACVB is a board certified veterinary behaviorist who counsels guardians whose pets’ issues are beyond the scope of training. Think of her as a pet shrink…at your service. Ask your own questions in the comments!
