Shelley,
It is now available;
http://www.merial.com/EN/PressRoom/PressRelease/Pages/Merial-Introduces-PUREVAX%C2%AE-Feline-Rabies-3-YR-Vaccine.aspx
I don't think most Vets will carry it. The Vets will have to charge
$60-70 for it, and that probaby won't fly with most clients. I talked to my
Vet about it, and we came to the conclusion that they would likely not use
the full tray before it expired, and even I understand that that's too much
expense. I am considering asking if she can buy one full tray and come out
and do a mass vaccine day for me.
HTH

Margo,
I don't think there is a 3 year Purevax Rabies yet is there?
I thought I read somewhere that it might last longer than a year, which it is
listed as now, but that
they hadn't officially decided to call it a 3 year. I would love to only
have to think about this every 3 years!

Why do the rabies? I would do the fvrcp before the rabies and i won't so
either one. If your cat is not outside at all, which especially with being
positive i think not, and you don't have rabid animals around, again,
probably not the case, why on earth would you give a rabies shot to a
positive cat? The law is ot going to be enforced in your home it's not a
big deal, but over vaccinating a positive cat is a big deal. They have that
antibody problem of course and rabies vaccines are done to develop
antibodies.
First, because it is mandated by law. It is not likely
that an indoor cat will be exposed to rabies, but it can happen.
Second because not being vaccinated puts the cat at
risk should it somehow manage to bite or scratch someone. Much depends on
local ordinances, but there can be severe consequences to having an
unvaccinated pet (to the pet) should the person injured decide to push. My
positives are current at the moment, but when it comes time to
re-vaccinate, I will request a waiver. BUT! That will not change the
protocol should they be involved in an injury to a human. More likely I
will find somewhere to get them the 3 year Purevax rabies.
Would you clarify your comment about an antibody problem? They have that
antibody problem of course and rabies vaccines are done to develop
antibodies.
I'm afraid I don't quite understand.
Thanks,
Mago

Hi Lance,
I am not sure! I will ask her. She is pretty great. Didn't even
consider euth. when he tested positive. Went ahead and neutered Leo and
told me the news later that day.
I just keep thinking about what the folks on this list said last year when
I asked, that their cats became sick after vaccinating.
Thanks for letting me
