Sorry, LOL, I did catch that after I hit the ‘submit’ button. I thought that puppies lose their maternal antibodies according to how much colostrum they ingest so not all pups are equally protected in the same litter.

As for titers, more work needs to be done like standardizing the procedures, etc. I was only going to do it to see if my immune-challenged dog was capable of making any antibodies, not to skip vaccines or anything like that.

As I said above, not using titers a guide for vaccination, but to see if my dog actually produced antibodies from vaccines, hence gleaning more info about the state of her health and to be able to use that info to make better decisions concerning her treatment.

Right... not enough evidence to prove or disprove associations. Too many variables, and reporting procedures need to be standardized.
