I double-totally agree. I would have rather seen my beautiful Champion Diana get hit by a semi and smeared across the Interstate than what she suffered with auto-immune mediated aplastic anemia 85 days after booster shots!! It would have been a MUCH kinder and gentler death. I will never put any dog at risk of that EVER AGAIN!! Be careful, Patti.

I recommend that you do a titer to see if she really needs any shots. I do titers on all my dogs after the age of 2 and they very seldom need a booster. Usually they go 5-8 years before it shows that a booster is needed. Kay Springer www.showboatgsd.com Home of Multi BISS & Multi Group Winning Ch.
