Thanks Deanna, I am surprised to hear that so many folks don't routinely vaccinate. I stopped vaccinating my cat because he is always indoors and I didn't see the point. But the vets always say it is of the greatest importance to keep up with the shots.
BTW your babies are all beautiful!

I can't remember who said something about having them check the levels to make sure that he really needs a booster. I don't take any meds myself, and I certainly don't want to give my dogs anything unnecessary or potentially harmful. The ones that he is due for are DA2PPv 1 year immunity, IDEXX Fecal Ova and Parasites by Zin, IDEXX Young Canine Maintenance Profile, and Rabies Canine 1 year Booster. My little Dali had a reaction to the rabies vaccine when she got it for the first time so I am concerned. What do you think? Thanks! Cindy =
