Guest guest Posted July 7, 2001 Report Share Posted July 7, 2001 I'm on a dog list that has a vet who is a regular contributor. She has a rescue dog whose vaccine history was unknown. To avoid unnecessary vaccines she ran titers. The first one was a year ago and the antibody levels for distemper and parvo virus were adequate. She was surprised when she ran them again this year that the distemper came back low. She was curious about it and decided to test them again before giving the booster. A few months went by before she got around to doing it again - so the level should have continued to drop. What is interesting is that the second titers test actually came back with a higher antibody level. She didn't offer any explanation and planned forego the booster and check again next year. For anyone having their children tested for school - if the results are low it may be worth repeating. I also find it interesting that excessive vaccines seems to becoming a hot issue with many dog owners. I wish it were with pediatricians.
