It takes an honest person fully in-sync with reality to know such things! I've always admired her for that. Can you imagine there are so many others out there who don't and otherwise would make snarky or snide remarks about someone who is so knowledgeable and admirable in their actions and choices...

Please don't misconstrue what I'm saying or take it as a personal attack, I'm just a little concerned. Please clarify.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | I'm confused about all this talk about telling your vet what to do? As a pet owner, I told my vet I did not want yearly booster shots, I preferred to get titers. I also told him I didn't want the lepo shot on the advice of my breeder. Since when are giving shots some medical procedure? Diabetics give shots and little training is needed. Certainly an RN is qualified to give a shot and understand the dosage recommendations and need for quality control. All these things are legal as well. The only reason the rabies shot can’t be given by anyone other than a vet is because any time some disease effects the human population, special precautions have to be made to insure it’s done properly. Again, not saying that most breeders should give shots, but this wouldn’t affect my judgment on the breeder’s qualification as a good breeder one way or the other.

| I don't have to tell my vet about not giving annual shots since they don't give annual shots. The vets doing annual shots are making business decisions. I feel bad for people who have to actually have this convo with their vets.

Below is the part of the original post that I took issue with and it was not regarding an RN giving vaccines. My issue is with the bold RED sentence. Quote: Here is a link so that you can see what I am referring: Health Certificate for US Pet Travel Why is a CICU nurse stepping into the scope of practicing Veterinary Medicine. I don't care how well regarded you are on the floor of the CICU it's still practicing Veterinary Medicine without a license. I am also taken aback by her website, where she once again uses her RN signature to promote the sale of her puppies. What does this have to do with breeding? It's a marketing ploy as far as I am concerned. RoseHillYorkies Judy Wright, RN Owner of RoseHill Yorkies Houston, Texas

And for the record and a side note, my husband and I (well usually my husband) administer allergy serum injections every 2 weeks, I am not an RN.

All human medicine and more is tested on Horseshoecrab blood before it ever goes into production. Horseshoe Crabs - The Useful Horseshoe Crab The Veterinary Profession is always looking to human medicine/procedures to find ways to better treat our pets. The Vet ER I worked at 20 years ago had all kinds of equipment donated from local hospitals, from infant incubators for small critical patients, to EKG machines and Pulse Oximeters, Endoscopes, IV supplies and pumps, etc., which now is fairly commonplace (or should be) at many vet practices/clinics. Stem Cell therapy is becoming an available treatment for our pets also. Funny though as it was first tested on animals before being used in human medicine, and now it's coming back to be utilized in the Vet Med field. 9/11 Search and Rescue Dog Receives Stem Cell Therapy at Va. Clinic Burke Vet Performs Stem Cell Therapy on Dogs with Hip, Knee Problems - Burke, VA Patch To 'draw a line' between human and animal medicine would be severely limiting to both fields. Also, when I worked at the human hospital, I remember hearing countless stories of nurses intervening in patients treatment, usually involved an error in medication or amounts in the charts.... takes a sharp nurse to catch and verify those kinds of errors.

It's been 20 years since you worked in a vet office. Medicine is a continually evolving science. You state that you have previous experience but you are 19 years and 364 days out of the loop of to the current trends. Were you a certified Vet Tech? Do you keep your professional credential up to date and current? Do you take continuing ED courses. You keep tossing it out that that you worked in a Vet office and inquiring minds want to know. There are a lot of different positions and many are on-the-job training like Kennel Attendant and dog walker. 2. I have already addressed this previously 3. Of course it takes a sharp nurse and that is what they are trained to do. But at the same time this does not allow a nurse to sign a HEALTH CERTIFICATE in Veterinary Medicine. I have to ask, when you worked in a hospital what was your profession? Are you a nurse as well? There are plenty of positions in a hospital as well and they are wide ranging from valet to neurosurgeon.

Donating YT 500 Club Member Update on Barney and Leptospirosis Someone asked about Lepto today in diet and health so I thought I'd update my thread. Barney was treated with doxycycline for two weeks for the leptospirosis infection. My vet and I discussed giving the vaccine and decided against it. She was playing phone tag with the laboratory and the specialist to obtain more information because she just had a hard time believing he had the infection and that his positive result was more likely due to a prior vaccine. ... ... I think their individual lifestyles do not support the vaccine and I am going to go with the recommendation of my regular vet over the specialist on this. I hope I don't make a mistake, but if I do, then it is certainly not because I did not give this a whole bunch of time and consideration and that is what I believe to be in my dogs' best interest at the end of the day. I hope this thread helps others. Thank you all for your support. __________________ Cathy & Barney Daisy and Teddy T. BUMPKINS & CO.
