My puppy is about 7 months old, and i've only gotten her the first 2 of her puppy shots and shes been dewormed as well...before i get accused of neglecting her and putting her in danger or anything along the lines of that let me tell you that she lives the best life any dog could have. shes crate trained and potty trained, she has an endless supply of puppy toys, shes rarely ever crated, she sleeps in bed with my boyfriend and i a majority of the time...she's a great puppy, i lost my job and i was going to get her shots the week it happened but i'm trying to keep my head above water with the money i have. i just want to know if i'm putting her life in jeopardy at all.
and if it means anything shes a deer head chihuahua and she's about 5 lbs...and i'm in the process of finding somewhere to spay her.

i think you should give her the other shots cause i have 2 chihuahua and me and my husband gave them the whole shots
Many dogs will develop adequate immunity after two vaccines, some will not. The only way to know for sure is to draw a "titer" to see if she has sufficient immune resistance. If she does not, she can catch parvo or distemper and die. You can find Vaccination clinics at very low cost in any city and get her last shot. Contact your local shelter or search online for this.

If she stays in the house, away from other dogs and animals, probably not. I will tell you though that you can go to most farm supply stores that sell animal vaccines and get the shot yourself. If costs about 5-7 dollars and it comes with the needle to give the shot yourself. But, please, only do this is you or someone you know can give a shot. You can research it and it isn't really that hard. It goes in the skin on the side. But better be safe than sorry. If you cannot get the shot right now, wait and give it to her later. She is probably built up some resistance with the first 2 shots and she will probably be fine.
