    Saving Lives with Antibody Titer Tests
    Can a simple blood test tell you if a dog or cat exposed to an infectious disease is immune to it or not? Are titer test results something you can rely on in shelters, foster homes, or private homes and veterinary practices? How do they work? How can we be sure? And can they save the lives of countless shelter animals?

    You'll get all these answers and more at "Saving Lives With Antibody Titer Tests," a free webcast on Thursday, Sept. 8 at 9 PM Eastern Time/8 PM Central Time/7 PM Mountain Time/6 PM Pacific Time, presented by Dr. Ronald Schultz and Maddie's? Institute, a program of Maddie's Fund?. To register for this event, click here: http://www.maddiesfund.org/Resource_Library/Saving_Lives_With_Antibody_Titer_Tests.html

    That is wonderful both to cut to fewer (albeit larger) pills and getting such a good price.

    Dog owners weighing the cost of titers against the seemingly lower cost of a possibly redundant booster should consider the estimated numbers of adverse reactions to immunization and the cost of treating an adverse reaction. Time Out: Rabies Researchers Assess New, Long-lasting Vaccine NEWStat, American Animal Hospital Association June 25, 2008 http://newsmanager.commpartners.com/aaha2/issues/2008-06-25/index.html "A rabies vaccine and vaccination schedule with a seven year DOI will reduce the number of animals that develop adverse reactions following immunization, which is currently estimated to be 1-3% of the population." Based on the estimate of "…more than 72 million pet dogs in the U.S." from the American Veterinary Medical Association U.S. Pet Ownership & Demographics Sourcebook (2007 Edition)http://www.avma.org/reference/marketstats/sourcebook.asp, the currently estimate 1-3% of the population adversely reacting to vaccination translates into between 720,000 and 2,160,000 dogs.
