I have also been reading about over vaccinaton on horses and dogs, since we have 5 horses and 4 dogs my vet comes to me, as a farm call. Wicket the yorkie has his own yorkie vet.
The farm vet says that they should be vacc. every year for everthing, also he does not like the vacc. that are sold through the feed stores, says they are not reiable. he chargers me 145.00 to pull in my driveway before anything else is done.
Wicket vet, has just the opposite opinion he seems to think that they do not need yearly rountine shots. he says every 3 to 4 yrs you should vacc. adult dogs. except for rabbies which here is a state law has to be done every year.
so I have decided that with us being out in the country and my dogs are not being around other dogs not to vacc. same with the horses they are not showing anymore they for the most part are yard ornaments now and not around other horses. |
