Thanks, I do know that pets can be affected. My old guy I had stopped vaccinating; we unfortunately had to put him down a couple months ago because of adrenal cancer at the not so ripe old age of 13. My other dogs are only vaccinated for rabies and the other diseases we titer for after their initial puppy vaccines. I have mixed feelings about vaccinating for lepto; it really can be a horrible disease if they get it, but yearly doses appear not to be completely effective.
Since you seem to be interested in animals here’s a bit of info that’s off-topic, but I like to share. There was recently an article posted here about the lack of availability of heartworm cure. Make sure to keep you pets’ monthly coverage up to date. Also, a vet tech friend of mine was telling me there has been a new strain of heartworm reported in Louisiana and one other place that I am not remembering right now, but maybe Georgia. The pharms are supposedly working on new coverage/cure and I’m sure eventually they’ll find it, but that’s pretty scary to me
‘_______pets can be affected.’
Sorry about your ‘old guy’ loss.
Adrenal cancer - wow, that’s a different one.
Maybe you know there are chiropracters who don’t vaccinate - family and pets.
Actually, we are petless (it’s okay - really!), but I save newspapers for my friend to bring to the county shelter! Sometimes I add doggie treats, or pet food. They are thankful.
Two nearby daughters have dogs - one has 2 Collies, and the other, a golden Lab.
All neat dogs.
Daughter with the Collies does minimal vaccinations. None for her 3 daughters.
I’ll pass along the heartworm info to them.
Other 2 daughters have orange cats!
