He is not happy with the 6 months for Rabies either, but I reminded him that I did it his way and had two dogs have bad reactions. One got hives and the other really was sick to the point I thought I was going to lose her. Both had rabies with their last combo vaccines way too early. So, he goes along with what I want and is not mad or anything. He just thinks I have the wrong idea but that it will not hurt anything. Since I started doing it this way -- I have had no adverse reactions at all. Granted, there were only 2 before, but one of those was close to lethal! So, I take no chances. I would like to go completely without as I do not think my dogs have much risk factor at all. But since I never know if I might be in a position where they need to be around other dogs (like hurricane evacuation), I go ahead and give what I have to. |
omg! I'm sorry to hear that they had such a bad reactions. That must have been a horrifying experience. These vets get me so angry! I don't get how they could recommend me things that might harm the pets. What if I hadn't researched? it's so hard arguing with them too because they have that "I'm the doctor I know it all" attitude. ugh. I wish I could speak out and firmly put my foot down but she's a friends friend so I dont know what to say when she keeps saying "no, trust me. don't worry about it they wil lbe FINE".
