5 things your vet should never say to you (great read)

9. Our cats are all indoors, except for distemper (important since I work around shelter animals)

my vet has repeatedly told me annual vaccinations are unnecessary, especially for my now 16 year old cat. They could do more harm than good at her age. And even though we get a great discount because we are shelter volunteers, incidences of rabies in the northeast are so rare as he hasn't had a case in over a decade. Most rabies incidents come from wild animals, skunks, raccoons, possums. Wild/roaming dogs are rounded up quickly around my area. Where I live we have a spay/neuter/vaccination program for the ferals cats and dumps that has been hugely successful for over five years with the cooperation of the town and the apartment complex.


We are lucky.
