They gave me a choice of flavors, so I am hoping marshmallow will do it. Her mouth is inflamed so it is difficult to open it to squirt something in. The lab my vet used is charging 70.00 for a 30 day supply. (25.00 of that is overnight frio packing) Does that seem right to you? I'm doing 30

A titer is a blood test that measures the amount of disease fighting anti-bodies in the blood at the time the blood is drawn. Vets who try to protect animals from over vaccination use them in a variety of ways. Google The Rabies Challenge. There is a trial that is now being lead by Jean
