For distemper/parvo, I do not in any way feel titers are worth the $ - remember, they don't really tell you anything since they only can indicate humoral immunity ONLY -- they tell you absolutely nothing about cellular immunity.
Also remember this: you can have a negative titer, but actually *have* cellular immunity and be able to fight the disease; you can also have a positive titer, but have NO cellular immunity whatsoever.
Sooooo...see why they're not worth it now  ...?!!! |  I agree with Ann. We went over it in my vet assistant class and the research is just not there yet.
