Thanks. I really like this vet, and I believe that the newer younger vets will hardly ever tell you to put an animal down, whereas The older ones that I have dealt with don't hesitate to suggest that. This new one was recently hired by my regular veterinarian, and he is great, knows everything, so I know the new guy must be good or he wouldn't be there. All the people at my vets office are wonderful. Can't tell I really like them, can you? Now, if my cats never ever go outside, do they need this shot every year? The closest they have ever come to outside is looking through a window.
