[Felvtalk] messages - And question for Margo

[Rachel Dagner]

Thank you Margo! Yes, I will get her the one year now and then find someone
who carries the 3 year. My vet actually trades vaccines with his wife at
another clinic which is how he is getting me the one year. He said they
don’t have a three year or his wife would have it. I told him he better
check again because if her clients are requesting the one year I am
absolutely sure they would want to know there is a three year available.
And it equals out in cost if you are getting the Purevax yearly or every
three years with less injections.  I just can’t imagine a vet thinking they
couldn’t sell a safer vaccine because of cost, if parents knew they had
options I think many would choose the Purevax just like happened with your
vet.

Hi Rachel,

                Many (probably most) Vets are very leery of stocking the
three year PureVax. They don't think people will pay the price which is,
indeed, three times the price of the one year. My Vet does carry it, I use
the three year where allowed.

                Initially they had it on a trial basis, but to their
surprise, their clients were willing to pay. It is a financial hit, at
about $65 for just rabies, and I'm in a not so wealthy area, but I guess
some clients think it's worth it. They now carry both, as the first booster
has to be with the one year or at least is only considered valid for one
year.

                You might find that another clinic in your area carries it,
and sometimes Vets will work together. Worth a phone call :)

HTH,

Margo

Yes, it’s been pretty quiet lately. Hopefully that means that members with
FELV kitties are doing ok. My new kitty Josie is doing good. She loves
cantaloupe and sits in the bathroom while I brush Daizy’s teeth and waits
for her turn! I have so many pictures and videos she is cute as can be.



I actually had a question for Margo. I am getting the one year Purevax
rabies for Josie in a month. He said they only have a one year version and
I would have to continue to get it every year if I go that route, but their
three year version is shown as available on their website… confused. I have
searched the web but am not finding much info on anyone using it. I
e-mailed the company to see if they could send me info on it for my vet.
Margo do you give the Purevax yearly?

Haven’t seen anything from FeLV in ages – been on it for over a year –
updated regularly – now what
