[Maidto2Maltese]

Thanks Lynn!!! it's such important info.. I've filed it for future reference but I'd think to 'sticky' would be a good idea!

Great information and I think it should be pinned.
I titer but my vet wasn't real happy about it. I made an appointment just to talk to her about it. I told her I liked her and wanted to keep her as my vet but only if she would work with me on this issue. I even told her it wasn't open for discussion. She's working with me but I had to stand my ground because had I not she would have wanted to vaccinate.

I like the way you approached your vet with this, Jane. Good for you! You are the best Mommy to Zoey, Emy, and Tessa.

Maybe we should update this? Here is a link to Dr. Jean Dodd's 2012 vaccination protocol.

Dr. Jean Dodds' Pet Health Resource Blog | Dr. Dodds' 2012 Canine Vaccination Protocol

21st Oct 2012 | 3 notes
Dr. Dodds’ 2012 Canine Vaccination Protocol
Note: The following vaccine protocol is offered for those dogs where minimal vaccinations are advisable or desirable. The schedule is one I recommend and should not be interpreted to mean that other protocols recommended by a veterinarian would be less satisfactory. It’s a matter of professional judgment and choice.

Canine Vaccination Protocol
9 - 10 Weeks Old:
Distemper + Parvovirus, MLV (e.g. Intervet Progard Puppy DPV, now renamed Nobivac DPV, when Merck and Intervet merged)


14 Weeks Old:
Same as above


16 - 18 Weeks Old (optional):
Same as above (optional)


20 weeks or older, if allowable by law:
Rabies


1 Year Old:
Distemper + Parvovirus,MLV (optional = titer)


1+ Years Old:
Rabies, killed 3-year product (give 3-4 weeks apart from distemper/parvovirus booster)


Perform vaccine antibody titers for distemper and parvovirus every three years thereafter, or more often, if desired. Vaccinate for rabies virus according to the law, except where circumstances indicate that a written waiver needs to be obtained from the primary care veterinarian. In that case, a rabies antibody titer can also be performed to accompany the waiver request. See www.rabieschallengefund.org

Thanks for the updated info!!

So glad we waited awhile after Ozzie's rabies vaccine to do parvo, since he had a 10 day later reaction (still not positive it was from the rabies vaccine, but seems likely).. hoping no reactions to the parvo, but it's already been 3 days
