However I'm repeating myself sorry, but where we are, where DHPPi+L+CV + bordetella + lyme are given on a yearly basis to most dogs it's a HUGE deal for us to be able to go from all that to no vaccine for the next 3 years, except for rabies all thank to this testing.
Things get heated when people come here to blow off steam lol I try to stay away from such threads. I come here for discussion, self education and with a hope to contribute  |
The yearly vaccines like Bordatella and Lyme can’t be titered because they are short lived immunity’s that’s what the articles says. So they have to be given yearly. I may not do DAP with Callie again in general even without testing. I hope my vet and vet internist can shed more light on the Cushings vs vaccine thing. The issues with the research for the titer testing is disturbing to me because they have to test on animals. I wish science would evolve from animal testing and not just for this but for everything really.
