Vaccinations - some other questions   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #31629 of 32310 |
For those of your who no longer vaccinate ---
 
-do you ever have an issue re the vet refusing to treat your cat b/c they are
not vaccinated?
 
-does your state require rabies vaccinations - and what do you do then?
 
-what about if you need to groom your cats or board them?  usually need to
provide proof of vaccinations?
 
I'd love to not vaccinate my herpes kitty - but I'm afraid I would have some/all
of those issues.
 
Thanks, Lisa

Nancy, have the vet run a titer instead of a rabies vaccine. That should end the issue. Unless, of course, he wants to argue that a titer isn't reliable....

Caralee, Unfortunately, the titer doesn't show just how much longer the vaccine that is in the system will still be there, so I guess you have to titer every...

Yes, I'd say so. But at the same time, we should be drawing blood periodically from our cats and dogs anyhow just to stay on top of any other disease...

If the vet/groomers/boarders require vaccinations you can, instead of vaccinating, order titers for the required disease vaccinations. The vet will draw...
