You made a general statement - and therefor applies to all that do not elect to vaccinate and rather titer which by the way is hugely more expensive than vaccinating.
I don't think at all about your choices - I believe you do what you see fit for your dogs and the locale they live in. I believe that you provide the best health care that you see necessary.
How ever my vets disagree with your vets in terms of titering - which I do understand is a controversial issue. And there is evidenced based research that shows DOI many years beyond 3yr vaccine immunity still exists ref Rabies Challenge fund.
And finally in the terms of Zoey and what you term the heartworm debacle - when will you ever let that go?? My husband and I made a mistake. But we sought health care after btw her annual physical and blood exams evidenced the problem and spent the money and time to treat her for this. Just like a mere 4 months later we spent a lot more money and time to treat her for cancer. So let it go !!!! Heartworm did not kill her cancer did. That thread is on here as well. |
So you follow the advice of a vet who recognizes that titers are bogus. I see a huge problem with that and with the vet handing out advice.
Please just stop Gemy. I made a general statement ABOUT THE GUY whose dogs were taken.
I disagree with you and I've already said why. You always have to just go on and on. I don't really know why you're questioning what I do with my dogs. I could care less if you approve of my actions or opinions. As for your heartworm comments maybe you should recall that were the first one to come bopping along and somehow ludicrously suggest that neutering my young puppy led to his CCL tear 12 years later even though he jumped off a bed onto a 100 year old hardwood oak floor.
