(32,968 posts)and the article you are linking to is a 2002 one. Do NOT get me wrong, those angels were a life line when the most handsome prince, Alex , was alive and having way too frequent seizures. I paid for the titres to make sure his blood had enough immunity, 2000-2005, knowing that if the blood work was not in immunity range, he was going to get the vacs. It wasn't cheap doing the blood work, one set of blood work tubes were crushed in transit, so he had redraws and more packing peanuts in that and subsequent shipping packages. The most wonderful vet ever, Dr Steckert and I worked together to keep Alex healthy. I did a lot of education, and was willing to spend the money to make it so. I can't imagine most people doing the same, it was way labor and money intensive. I had that luxury.
Blood titres might work, for the very very dedicated.
