Re: [felineherpes]feline herpes Vaccinations - some other questions

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 three
years, right?

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. Grrrrr.

Hi Lisa,
I don't board or travel with my cats, so that isn't an issue. My vet is okay
with no vaccinations, it is the rabies that he has a problem not doing. We have
to talk about that one next time we go.

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

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...

For the FVRCP vaccine the intranasal vaccine is the same vaccine as the injectable...they simply give it in a different way. It's drawn up from the same vial....
