Seventeen years ago, I owned a JRT that nearly died TWICE before I was told to never give shots of any kind again because of her reaction to them. And just two months ago I lost her.....to age and a lifetime of IBD. But those seventeen years were filled with a wonderful, smart, "thinking", "shotless" dog, so don't you worry about your baby! Dogs can live long and happy lives without vaccinations. Just be glad it's been pinpointed early and you have a vet that leveled with you. If you ever have any doubts about protection, you can always have titers done. I understand they have "in house" tests that can be done now by forward thinking vets. |
