I have one question for everyone posting on this thread:
Have you ever taken care of a pup with Distemper?
The guidelines have changed ... yes, it took a long time; but many vets were giving these immunizations NOT for money but for the reason that no one seems to focus on. These vets SEE dogs with parvo and distemper....day in and day out. They have been trained to protect dogs from these awful diseases. Actually, if I were to have my preference, I would take parvo over distemper because it is treatable.
Everyone has an opinion about immunizations ... myself included. There is a lot of research that has been done and is still being done. As for titers, they are not always accurate. I don't believe everything I read on the internet...while it may be true, my decisions for my pups will always be made by looking at studies and honestly my own experience...not emails and postings by people who are not trained in veterinary medicine or who are guessing about what happened to one of their pups. Unless you know all of what they say...such as vet records, you really do not know if their conclusions are correct.
What am I saying? ... Simple...be careful about your decision making when it comes to the health of your pups and don't believe everything you read on the internet. |
