My personal opinion is that I will not allow them to
vaccinate Olivia again. Before she was spayed, she was
a faint positive and they insisted that she get a
rabies vaccine before the spay. I fought it but in
order to get it done, I had to. A month after when she
was restested again, she threw a strong positive which
was proof enough to me that between the surgery and
vaccine, it stressed her immune system.
To say I'm not too happy about this is an
understatement......
