the microchipping vet asked if she was current on her shots, to which I replied yes and told them the above. They, in turn, said we won't see her again unless she has duplicate shots because they don't recognize the shots given by me. (no problem, I'm not planning on taking her back/was only there for microchipping) I asked if they were concerned about over-vaccinating. They said, "oh no, they can have those shots over and over again - that's what we do with strays, they could have a set of shots every month without a problem"
Now hearing that I'm thinking maybe they are just saying that in case there ever is a problem they'd blame the problem on something else.
I don't agree with them, but I'm not a vet...what do you think of this? |
That I do not agree with at all. You can not vaccinate a dog every month and expect no problems, seriously?! a vet said that! Of course they never want to blame vaccines for anything- I had a cat growing up who was diagnosed with "injection site sarcoma" and they STILL tried to blame other things as "predisposing factors".
