Jan, Marie, Patty, Carolyn – thanks so much for the advice and input. I am now going to have to consider between the 1-year boosters or go the titering way from this year. I will consult with the vet and the hubs. Also with the price, lol. But yeah, Bruno’s birthday and early history are very unknown, so I don’t even know if he had access to his mom’s milk, or for how long. It is possible that he may have come from a breeder because I once saw a dog approximately his age, looking JUST like him, in a PetLand, where most dogs come from breeders. I don’t know what that may mean for him though regarding being with his mom and immunity. Also, Bruno was found by some house in bushes, with serious fleas and an infected cherry eye. My hypothesis for his early life is that he may have come from a breeder and either been born with a cherry eye or gotten it early on, and thus been let go on his own once he reached a decent age to have some minimal chances of survival, because he would have a low likelihood of being bought with a cherry eye… IDK, this is a total guess, he may have come from anywhere really.
But yeah, I will abide by the law and vaccine for rabies when I need to, and I really do want to titer, I just need to see if I will start this year or next – I don’t want to give him unnecessary vaccinations, just the bare minimum he may need, so we shall see.
But thank you all once again – you all have been so helpful!
