Oh, good. I thought you were saying that holistic vets wanted yearly

vaccinations.

Rabies vaccines last for years, 10 years to a life time. My vet does not

believe in them but is willing to do them every 3 years. It is a shame that

there are so many requirements for vaccines. I would rather pay to have the

animal tested in order to board, than vaccinate. Such a waste of money and

stress on the pet's immune system.

Well I am bad with three animals that have had vaccine reactions, Mine

will get no more the last time I needed proof of rabies, I printed a

I understand what you're saying, and I agree that it was very abusive,

and because of that very stressful, I'm sure.

I guess what I wonder is what came first - chicken or egg?

Perhaps - and just perhaps, because I am in NO WAY trying to

invalidate what you have said & believe & have thought through

extensively - but I do wonder if those of us with adrenal problems had

them way back when, but to a lesser degree & perhaps couldn't " deal "

with that kind of stress because our adrenals were already stressed.

Maybe not. Again, you've been through a lot, Janis, so I don't want

to be shoving this down your throat. No matter how you slice it, you

deserve much better than all of it!

Janis: I agree with you. How do you print a certificate that looks

authentic? I would be afraid of getting caught but I feel the same

way. I hate to put my dog through this when I know it's probably

doing harm to her immune system.
