But since layla has such extreame reactions to vaccines.. i'll still not get it this year... and just hope she doens't get it again!!!! |
It's ok to agree to disagree, LOL
In your case, with Layla, I agree that it's not the best choice for her. With Emma and Milli, I have to get it in order for them to go everywhere they go
And you're right-it IS like the flu shot, one shot doesn't prevent all strains of it. They can still get KC sometimes even if they have the vaccine...but the chances of getting some strains of it will be lower if they DO get the vaccine. In our case, since Emma and Milli are exposed to so many dogs at the park and at daycare, it gives me a little peace of mind for them to have the vaccine.
