And usually said in such a way to support what the writer wants to say. For instance "Only 4 percent!" As opposed to "5000 cases!" they always leave me with more questions.. <br />I'm still not getting rabies shots, but I accept that is my choice and if something happens, it's my fault.

My kitties are all overdue for vaccines, but they, too, are only inside cats and the chances of altercation with an infected animal is minimal. What really concerns me is what pets can contract from the vaccines they are given. If you have an indoor only cat who is healthy, why would you want to inject it with something that has an origin you're trusting others to determine? <br />As so often happens, we follow our own health regimen for our animals. If seeing a doctor routinely is something you do, the pets do, too. I don't, and the pets won't--except for an annual physical, and even then, we're all pretty lax. Everyone here, thank God, is healthy, happy and wants for nothing..in Maine, that's living the simple life.<br /><br />By the way, I hope you had a good Thanksgiving, too!<br /><br />JulieFr.

I've not had it done since adoption, as I agree that the odds of negative side effects are far higher than the odds of actually contracting rabies.<br /><br />That's the problem with all these reports in the media, "expert" opinions, etc. You have to look beyond the words, follow the money to see who gains, etc.Fuzzy Taleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09505853082591216696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3859669.post-51975656008317450582012-11-24T02:31:53.995-05:002012-11-24T02:31:53.995-05:00I forgot to add that rabbits can come and go freel...I forgot to add that rabbits can come and go freely with out having to go through this to european countrys as they are declared disease freeLittle Miss Titchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08456038281813066947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3859669.post-71475383197232424992012-11-24T02:28:59.491-05:002012-11-24T02:28:59.491-05:00It is kinda scary thinking about these thing in th...It is kinda scary thinking about these thing in the UK we are a rabies free countryand have strict controls on animals comming in to the country to keep it that way,the only time a cat or dog has to be vaccinated against rabies is if they are traveling to Europe on the pet passport scheme so that they cand come back in to the UK with out having to go through 6 months of quarantine plus they have to have all their shots and worming up to date tooLittle Miss Titchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08456038281813066947noreply@blogger.com
