I have another friend that had a very bad reaction to a puppy shot. I just know that we won't have any more shots unless we know they are not vaccinated. And that would take a titer test from what I understand. I talked to one vet and it is not the law that you have to vaccinate for anything but rabies. So I guess each owner has to make their own choices. |
Yes, they do....and I pray you make the right ones because the consequences can be deadly. Distemper and parvo kill. I posted a link above that discusses vaccine guidelines that are based on real scientific evidence.
As to a vet cutting the dose of a vaccine...that is wrong on SO many levels. I find it difficult to believe a vet would do such a thing.
