Chewie went in there for her checkup and then the vaccines came up, which I wasn't expecting- she's due 2nd of march. I voiced concerns about a month early, and then we got into a long discussion. I'm glad I asked! I can take that off of the table completely. I'm not concerned for her right now. It's probably a ridiculous worry, but I worry if it's bad later on, during her elderly years. I don't like her hip being sore- but it's not a worry, it's a wow, that sucks. I know it's normal, and she's already doing better.
Ann- Yes, I see exactly! Thank you.  |
Thanks for the clarification! You might want to revisit titers later, when your dog is older, especially if she starts getting bad reactions. Also, there is new research being done on how often vaccinations need to be given. They might not change the requirements for rabies vaccinations in our lifetime, but some of the other recommendations may change. It sounds like your vet is on top of things, even if titers might not be appropriate at this time.
