Sorry to hear you've been having probs, I asked my vet about that too but he said the jags they get they need every year, I'm happy with that cause I'd hate for sommit to go wrong, I would just worry every year.
Hope things turn out better for you.

I had a talk to my Vet when we moverd about 10 years ago, I said I didn't like the idea of constant vaccinating and he agreed with me and told me that he only did his own dogs every 3 years unless there was parvo about, Lepto only lasts for about 6-9 months anyway I believe. We arranged that if there were any outbreaks of any of the de seases he would give me a call and we could discuss re- vaccination then. , for me this was a most sensible and satisfactory arrangement.

Lepto needs to be done yearly, but Parvo, Adeno and Distemper can be done every three years (depending on what vaccine they use)

We found out which she needed and had used individual vaccs accordingly.

Thandi - do you know where your vet managed to get the individual vaccines from? I had mine titre tested last year and one came back low for Adeno and the other low for Distemper. My vets checked but couldn't seem to get hold of individual vaccines for these two (though they could get Parvo separately) so I had to get the lot done again. My girls is now due again so I will be having her titred again and would be grateful if you could tell me where you get the individual vaccines from.

Many thanks
