Or you could just do another year of DAPP and then skip the next two if you would feel better about it that way. It's really up to you and very few vets are going to be much help in figuring out a good schedule. |
FL (or at least my county) is just now accepting the 3 year vaccine. The shot clinic - according to their site - is still using the 1 year. I kinda thought the one year and 3 year were the same ... , just another way to extort (
) a few more $$ out of folks
? I would love to do titers - in fact, I had planned on it - until Barry got so sick and died. My whole world got dumped upside down then, and everything I had "planned" got tossed out the window.
In any event, I think I'll go with the full regime and then just do the rabies annually, then do the DAPP in a couple of years. I'll keep very good records this time ...
