Re: Bella's Visit with a New Vet - (vaccination)

[Nina]

There are two different rabies vaccines, one is "good" for 3 years and 
another is an annual shot.  Don't get me started on the whole 
over-vaccination thing.  I've got an IBD girl who almost died because of 
over-vaccination.  There's just no reason to keep pumping our babies 
with poison, except maybe paranoia and the veterinary community desiring 
an excuse to have you visit the office at least once a year.

Interesting that Mississippi requires rabies annually-- PA and CT (the 
2 states where I have had cats) only requires every 3 years for 
rabies.  My vets have always stuck to that, but recommended annual 
distemper (?sp) and leukemia (a  lot of good that annual leukemia shot 
did Allie!)
