This vet is using the kind of Rabies that can give your cat cancer!! Facts: Risks of Feline Rabies Vaccination Vaccines pose a slight risk for cats due to a reaction known as vaccine-associated feline sarcomas. This is a type of cancerous condition which may develop in response to vaccines at the injection site. While the risks are slight – on average 1 in 10,000 vaccinated cats may develop feline sarcomas - and the benefits of vaccines far outweigh these risks, vaccine manufactures have developed alternative forms of vaccines to decreases these risks. Types of Rabies Vaccinations The traditional cat rabies vaccination is the same type of canine rabies vaccine which is created using a killed form of the rabies virus. However, this type of vaccine contains ingredients, known as adjuvants, which may contribute to vaccine-associated feline sarcoma risks. While the killed rabies vaccine has low risks for feline sarcoma, pet owners may now choose to have their cat vaccinated with a type of ‘non-adjuvant’ feline rabies vaccine. Here are the main differences between the traditional feline rabies vaccine and the newer non-adjuvant feline rabies vaccine: The traditional cat rabies vaccination may be used for 3-year rabies vaccine protocols. For now, the non-adjuvant feline rabies vaccine must be administered every year, but in the future the vaccine may be available as a 3-year rabies vaccine. The non-adjuvant feline rabies vaccine is created using a modified form of the rabies virus, instead of a killed form, but there is no risk of infecting a cat with rabies through this type of vaccine.

We brought Dukiester in to see Dr. Dane Jespersen at the Mosinee Animal Clinic. We find Dr. Jespersen to be very professional in a friendly, warm way. WE FINALLY FOUND DR JESPERSEN AGAIN!!!! He was quite thorough, taking time to reunite with Dukie. Being on the very shy side for a lab retriever, Dr Jespersen remembered how to be in tune with our very scardy-cat-doggie! He checked him for deformities, grows, ticks, and his teeth& gums. Dr's advice: "Brush Every Day, Dukiester" And, to that Dukiester said "Arf"! All in all, our visit to see Dr Dane Jespersen was top-notch.

They have a great staff, and have discounted shots at petco once a week. Very reasonably priced and great with my dog.
