I would have liked to see some factual support for what you wrote because I can take the same current event as you do and come up with a different result: distemper, feline leukemia, and rabies used to be a huge problem - they aren't any longer...so why are we vaccinating our dogs and cats against these diseases every year?
I had titres done on one of my senior dogs in hopes of avoiding the vaccinations, but the titres came up low so I ended up getting the vaccinations anyway.
I'd like to see some facts about how many dogs these days get distemper - is it really a risk? I simply don't know, and I hoped that you had some facts. Oh well.
