skip shot vs. reduced dose-got answer thx

[carolyn & jesse (GA) & spock]

I have an event planned for Saturday. The AM shot will be given on time but I will not be home until PM +4 or later. That was too big of a spread to slowly move the shot time.

My question is:
1. should I skip the shot
2. should I give 1/2 the dose just so the shed doesn't drain. With this option I would have to shoot at my regular time the next morning meaning there would be an overlap.

Thoughts? Thanks

Re: skip shot vs. reduced dose

Usually we skip if it is more than 2 hours past shot time. If you do shoot the new shot time would be 12 hour later not your regular shot time, And it should be the full dose, not a reduction. That would be like a double reduction (once for being late and then the reduced dose.)

It would probably be safer to just skip and consider it a fur shot.

ECID but when I have to be gone 8 hours right after Tess's shot time I usually skip and feed realy LC food. She seems to get back on track quickly.

I agree with Ann. Think of it as a fur shot.

I like the feed really LC strategy -

hope you're at least getting to do something fun, carolyn!

do you want me to drop by the harness & leash, or are you coming this way anytime in the near future? i have another dentist appt near you on wednesday the 19th - actually i could come through on saturday late in the day also and just leave it on your porch if you're gone.
