Hi Gina, I live in CA and the rabies vaccine is required in my county. My Ursula is licensed. She was meowing in the window when the AC guy was out doing head counts in the neighborhood. I tried to say, huh, where did that cat come from?! The guy didn't buy it. Now, whenever her license

That is exactly who they tried (Tufts). They did a necropsy butfailed to do the tox analysis and I guess won't do it. Michelle In a message dated 9/14/2006 1:56:18 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Try your local Veternary college. Often they will do that sort of

Question re rabies vaccine

Yesterday we were at the vet withourMissy, and were told she's due for a rabies shot. I know it's "the law" in these parts, but Iwanted to wait until I had refreshed my mind on which way to go. To the best of my recollection, the 3-year shot is considered (by everybody but the vets ;-))

it depends on your state laws--some won't accept the 3-year-shot as valid if anything happens (ie, cat bites someone, or a bat is found in your house). if your state accepts the 3-year, go with that the other thing, ask your vet if they think she really needs it--in many states, a vet's
