For those of you who are against lifetime vaccinations and boosters, here is a list of a modified vac schedule (one that I use myself ). 9 weeks of age - MLV* Distemper/Parvovirus 12 weeks of age - MLV Distemper/Parvovirus 16-20 weeks of age - MLV Distemper/Parvovirus 16-20 weeks of age - Killed Rabies Vaccine 1 year of age - MLV Distemper/Parvovirus (last booster, titer test after) 1 year of age - 3 year Killed Rabies Vaccine Wait 2 - 3 weeks between Distemper/Parvo booster and 3 yr. Rabies vac. *MLV - Modified Live Virus

See now this is a schedule that I agree with. The one vet that is not that far from me who is just getting into the alternitive options for her patients recommended the same thing. I think that rabies is still important probably the most important. She also spaces out the shots. In dogs that have reactions to vaccines or problems after she uses puppy vac's with only parvo/distemper no lepto, and only if the titers shows that their levels are down.

Thanks heaps, very helpful. Sometime I feel like I'm on shaky ground with the vacinations only when needed, and it's good to see information from an informed source.

;D Guess who? ? The vaccination schedule Dee Blanco recommends is much like Laura's. "If you choose to vaccinate, please be careful. My recommendations are as follows: Wait until 14 weeks for puppies and kittens, until the maternal antibodies are no longer present. If you must use something before 14 weeks, use nosodes, after 14 weeks give one MLV parvo/distemper combination for dogs. For cats: Give on panleukopenia and one rabies vaccination at least two weeks after the above. OR: One distemper at 12 weeks, followed by one parvo at 14 weeks (these are the single vaccines and are the best, but often difficult to find.) All other vaccines, except rabies, I cannot recommend. period." I'm leaving now. ;D
