After reading up on it some time ago I decided not to ever do the Lepto again, nor the Kennel Cough booster. Both of those are every 6 months and of course there’s no guarantee that the Lepto will even be effective against the strain your dog MIGHT get! (And Kennel Cough is pretty much ineffective as a vaccine anyway. No prevention there.) We will be titering for the “biggies” as I have no intention of continuing something which can be so counter-productive to our furbabies’ health. (And I have been following Dr. Ron Schultz’ recommendations very carefully - as has apparently the Vet community because they have adapted the rabies to echo the three year rec.) I think he’s working on a longer study now to prove the non-necessity of vaccinating even every 3 years.... Interesting stuff!
But it pays to do one’s own research and not accept everything the vets say out of hand. They are not gods and in some areas their education has been woefully deficient (which the honest ones will admit).
I could not possibly agree more.
I had a puppy go into anaphylactic shock from a lepto shot years ago. Fortunately we were able to get him back to the vet in time. I don’t vaccinate for it now.
