In those days, nobody ever thought about booster jabs (possibly, they didn't exist?), so he never had any more. He lived to be a healthy old boy of 19, and the only "serious" treatment he ever needed was an op to remove a stye from one eyelid.
Perhaps he was just lucky? I have no idea of what the initial jab contained, it was all very long ago! Probably just distemper?
I think I will have to have another discussion with my vet...........

No they didn`t, very few people would have had the monry to pay for them Snorri & if they did they wouldn`t have done!! Yes more than likely distemper as parvo didn`t come about till the 60`s.
And yes again, another discussion with your vet maybe needed, remember its not me telling you all this, its the manufacturers & all in black & white

Rember Axl its NOT what he thinks or does, he has to do what the manus recommend & abide by their guidlines
but I think Incas vet is using Duramune & your vet uses Intervet/Nobivac, heres nthe link for Intervet again but best check cos I`m not on the ball right now sorry

Because of all the valuable information you sent me and the depths I went into all of this,I now have a dilema deciding on Georgie, as I don't want him done, but he is only 6yrs. old, and I know I will have a row with the vet over this one! Last year when he had his booster he started scratching again like mad, and all the info I have now read, I honestly think it's the boosters that are causing this. This will be a very big decision for me with him. Cassie I won't worry about, I have made my decision and the vet has accepted it.
