pissed at the vet. I do know I won't allow this to happen again.
If the shot is for 3yrs than he won't get in in 2yrs ever again no matter
what he say's. I have learned much about these shots on YT and I
am going to have the teter test done this May before putting anything
else into his body. Last year really scared me when he got sick. That
never happened before.
Ellie May, keep educating me.  |
Unless your vet will write a medical waiver saying that he isn't well enough to be vaccinated for whatever reason (could just be that he reacts to vaccines and that is sufficient for a waiver), it has to be done every 2 years by law in NY. Titers aren't an acceptable replacement for rabies vaccines and if something happens and he isn't UTD, he may get fined and he may get quarantined and a rabies test may need to be done (it is done after euthanasia on brain tissue). All a waiver does is protect you from the fine... Plesae be careful about just skipping it...
