The specialist that treats my poodle for allergies told me she would most likely need the desensitization shots for the rest of her life, won't sign the waiver! He says allergies are not a reason to withhold the rabies vaccine.
He told me a sad story about a stray puppy that bit a kid and had to be euthanized because it's history was unknown.
The specialist I saw before him (from another country) said to me "Why are spending money going from vet to vet, you know she's okay, just don't give it (rabies vaccine) but he wouldn't sign the waiver!
The regular vet I saw told me that IF the titer came back high, then MAYBE he would sign the waiver.
My only concern is that if they need medical attention; my dogs will be denied treatment unless I comply with the rabies vaccine.
I am doing everything I can to keep them healthy, so I will cross that bridge when I come to it.
