I love my new vet ! Not only did his clinic find out immediately why one of my dogs had diarrhea, even after two other vets missed it.... but my vet shares the same views that I have on vaccinations. I had taken one of my dogs to have her rabies shot and we did the vaccination. Afterwards, he noticed in my dog's previous medical records that I like to have titers ran first, before I vaccinate my dogs for other diseases. He told me that I was wise and explained to me that, because of the research and his own personal testing on this, he has started to recommend to patients to check their pet's titer first to make sure that they don't need an unnecessary vaccination. I can only tell you that every time I've done this, my pet's titers were always within normal range. It saved my dogs from being over vaccinated and that is very important to me. In late 2004, I lost one of my dogs only two weeks after she had a Parvo vaccination. A year later, I read that Parvo vaccinations (and especially over vaccinating your pets)... was linked to ITP. ITP is classified as an autoimmune disease and it causes a very low platelet count. It took my dog's life and I have no doubt that the Parvo vaccination was responsible for my dog's condition. Had I checked her Parvo titer first... this wouldn't have happened or her untimely death would have been delayed.
