Megs Injections
« on: September 22, 2008, 03:28:44 PM »
i need some help from someone, i made a mistake :(
the vets didnt send me a reminder for megs booster last year, and i total forgot, so because of that, she didnt get her jab last year, the vets are telling me, she needs to start all the injections again, like the ones she got when she was a pup, its gonna cost me a arm and a leg,
is this true, or are they trying to rip me off?
saying that she needs them when she doesnt, i dont think theyd do that, but sometimes it makes you think doesnt it


help?! :o

Same here Jamie, Kodi hasnt  had any since a pup and she 's 2 1/2  Dex had puppy ones then a booster when he was six because I got Kodi so he's only had 2 lots in 8 1'2 years.
same as Foxy I would bother, and dont let your vet pressure you into it either :nono:

Same here, my two have not had their jabs for a long time.  Blu has only ever had his puppy ones and he is 19mths.  I use the homeopathic nosodes.

yes, shes fit and healthy, and still bouncing around like a pup laura! haha although some days she does like a sofa day, just the way it should be, i was kinda worried though, heres me thinking it was total bad, but i suppose some vets are just in it for the money.

thanks guys!
so has anyone been anywhere nice with their babys this summer?

we went to scotland with meg, we left the cabin at 9in the morning every morning, then walked till 1, stopped for lunch, and walked back, we got back, and she slept on the decking for the rest of the day, but she always was willing to go for her late night walk!

Hi,

yep - this is a general reccommendation from vets and i think it probably comes from the drug companies themselves to be honest so vets dont wanna get sued if your dog gets ill hence they toe the line ... its all about money.

I dont routinely vaccinate either of my dogs any longer. It sounds like you might be interested in the CHC course that some of us are going on in october - that is all about natural healthcare for dogs.

You beat me to it I was about to suggest CHC next month or to anyone less that wants to know how vaccines work and what damage they can do if not used with care
