Could anyone provide some resources & approximate costs for getting titers?
My vet pushed the rabies vaccine & quoted $400 for a titer, as well as using fear tactics & the law to coerce me into the rabies vaccine for my beloved pup.
Appreciate your insight and knowledge on this very controversial topic. I’ve had issues with previous vets over their demands for me to get my dogs vaccinated yearly. I’ve always questioned why we had to vaccinate them over and over again. It didn’t make sense. Unfortunately, my homeopathic vet retired and I’ve yet to find another one. I’ll keep looking. Thanks again.
I just a titer back for rabies and my 19 month old is still protected. But what next? How to deal with authorities and their out of touch requirements?
We got one of our cats spayed last year because she was literally going into heat every two weeks and driving my wife crazy. Our vet required a rabies shot. Upon my inquiry, I saw on the package it was a DNA vector shot. I asked for the old style attenuated virus type and our vet said they didn't carry it anymore and didn't know where to find it. I reluctantly agreed to it but have felt guilty about it ever since. Question: how do we find the old style rabies shot? We have another cat we need to spay but really do not want to have her take the DNA vector shot. Thank you!
I am 100% anti-vax. I wasn't before the massive Covid scam, but I've thoroughly researched the topic using the dialectical method (considering the stance of both side of the debate) and I've firmly come down on the side of Truth. There's a huge wake up taking place and there will be more and more people like me who will demand alternatives. For now, I have switched to a holistic vet. Makes no sense to me that holistic vets still administer poison shots, but such is the current twisted world we live in. Question is: How the heck do you have pets without having them jabbed?
Thanks. This is really good information. Unfortunately a vet gave our little puppy an extra jab they did not need which was frustrating as we had specified that we wanted the rabies only, but we couldn't go in to clinic (Covid rules at the time) so had to let our pup be taken away, so we had no control on what ensued. We were reimbursed for the cost, but that was not what we were mad about. We felt violated by that incident.
However, we just went to get flea meds from a different vet recently (we fired the first one!) as we had a horrible flea infestation which included our other pet, but the vet refused to see our dog unless they had a rabies booster jab. We had the initial jab at about 6 months but it has been 1.5 yrs since then. I was very angry about this dumb rule but we went ahead as desperate about the flea situation as we going on a trip. Wish I had seen your article first and asked for the titers to prove immunity. And the vet says she needs another one in a year as we waited too long after the first for the first booster - all rubbish! She has had an inflamed eye (watery) since the jab/flea med - not sure which caused it.
A neighbor told me they took their dog to get the Lyme jab recently and really regrets it as their dog was very ill afterwards and not eating. We do have Lyme ticks in our area but I tend to avoid taking my dog on the trails during the peak tick season.
Len Small asks when is the ideal time to titer test an adult dog is it every year is it every 3 years when can it be considered a lifetime should it be every month, every minute.
"Thats a very, very relevant question. Well if he’s got a positive test today what does that really mean tomorrow now in immunology speak and this is very well documented once you have documented an animal has positive antibody titer for distemper, parvo or adenovirus that really is a sentinel test YES the patient is protected but does that look forward and in a fact in a word YES it does and the reason it does is that a positive antibody test you get today is also an indication that the patient has MEMORY and has developed MEMORY.
Now remember antibody is a molecule it is a protein and it GOES AWAY with time and if there’s no exposure naturally the antibody titer could fall in the adult to a NEGATIVE level but that DOESN'T mean the patient is susceptible so if they have MEMORY if they have EVER had a positive titer test they have MEMORY it is believed that that memory lasts for many years and probably for life studies have gone out to 7 to 9 years but its reasonable to assume that that memory lives on."
