I believe titer is pronounced like fighter. Loki's trainer hands out an article similar to this. Dodds is cutting edge on this topic. The problem is that I took it to Loki's vet and she told me a story about how she did a titer on an older dog and it said there was immunity and then the dog got parvo. So...
Personally, I believe my trainer (and Dodds) but the vet got me on the "better safe than sorry" and convinced me that since he didn't have a reaction before, he wouldn't now. (Trainer said this is not necessarily true.) Anyway, we got Loki the 3 yr rabies and his combo shot and I think we will have to wait for titers to become more common before we convince our vet. I don't want to change vets, I do really like her!
I'm glad the MSM has picked up on this and is covering it. The dog journals and mags have covered this before, but it's nice to see it on something like MSNBC.
