Betty Landercasp Webboard User Reg: 11-30-2009 Posts: 3724 Loc: minnesota Offline	I just received a note from the Board of Animal Health regarding a cat in Morrison county MN which was attacking it's own kittens-- and found to be rabid. With the discussion regarding the pointlessness of rabies vaccination on the board I just wanted to emphasize that in some places this disease exists and is a real threat. In the case described above the owners saw a skunk in their yard a few weeks prior to their mother cat becoming ill. People could google "Board of ANimal Health" in their state and see for themselves what their risk might be. http://s922.photobucket.com/albums/ad67/Grasvaly/

So the owners had illegally neglected to vaccinate their cat .... You will never hear "pointlessness of rabies vaccination" from me. My issues are combining rabies with other vax and certain overvaccinating issues.

Overly cautious? Monetary agenda? I don't know. Too much of anything is dumb. But I agree vaccines aren't stupid. Life is a give and take proposition at best.

I had to call a retired vet to get a 3 yr rabies cerificate on my dogs because all the other vets require yearly boosters. Check-ups, yes,yearly boosters no!

I had a dog that died because of distemper when I was a child, it left an impression. Betty (Waldron) Mathena http://www.littlerivercanine.com
