Over-vaccinated? I have a new dog that's 1 year old, the previous owner said it had shots already but couln't locate the paperwork. so i dont know if he really was vaccinated or not. i took him and the vet said that giving the shots again wouldn't do any harm so he was revaccinated for everything including rabies. even though the vet said it was harmless, i still worry about over vaccinating him: he is only 6 pounds. would this cause health problems later on in life? if he really was vaccinated as a puppy then at 1 year of age, would he have needed additional vaccinations anyway? |
I'm really sorry your vet told you that, bc that's just plain false. Overvaccinating *does* harm pets and there are published papers about it. Overvaccination is the reason behind the new vaccine protocols by the AAHA. The vet could have at least given you the choice of titers, which would have told you, at least, if antibodies were present - which indicates past vaccination. Your pup will probably be fine, but what your vet said was really inappropriate, in my opinion. If you go to this thread, there is some info about vaccines: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/yor...-overview.html |
