Rabies Vaccination and Titers

[JenG]

Hello,

My dog is ten. He had titers in spring of 2023 for DHPP and Rabies. All levels were satisfactory. His rabies is due in Feb '25 since it was done in Feb '22. Would I do titers again? If he has the rabies vaccination in Feb, would I prepare his system with some supplements to boost him up. Or if his rabies is okay in the titers is it possible to get an exemption?

Also, he tested pos for Lyme last summer so would a C6 be repeated in several months to see the levels?

Thank you.

Hey Jen!

Would I do titers again?

If you want the information, yes. Personally I don't routinely run titers unless a kennel, training facility, etc. requires them.

If he has the rabies vaccination in Feb, would I prepare his system with some supplements to boost him up.

The best thing to do is to optimize his internal balance with a vet homeopath.

You can also use this for 2 weeks before and after the vaccine:

Vaccine Detox

Holistic care revolves in part around the balance between the physical body and the energetic. We believe that using everything at our disposal to help both ends of this spectrum is the key to total wellness. This solution helps the animal's energy system detoxify and re-balance itself after...

Yes, it may be possible.

Yes, monitoring C6 and urine (for protein loss) is a good idea.

Thank you. The reason we gave titers was to see if he needed DHPP. Otherwise, I believe the rabies is the only one required by law. Correct?
Thank you.

Correct!
