you know ff50, you really need to stop with the hotbutton topics. I work in the medical field and get to see the effects of parents not vaccinating thier children and the horrible preventable diseases that they get. Yes there are dangers to vaccinating, but for the most part they are far outweighed by the dangers of the disease that you are trying to prevent(this is true for both humans and our pets)

TKN, I don't think one can extrapolate from humans to cats vis a vis vaccines. Humans aren't told to get "boosters" every year -- boosters which have no scientifically proven efficacy for cats. I lost my beloved cat, Cloud, to Chronic Renal Failure in July 2008. There is some evidence to suggest that CRF may be caused by a distemper vaccine. You can read about the study suggesting this here:

I'm not necessarily opposed to all vaccines for cats but there is growing recognition, even within the veterinary field, that cats and dogs have been over-vaccinated traditionally. A good overview of the issues, written by an experienced veterinarian:

FF, I agree with TKN; it seems like every time you post it's just to lecture us on how to take care of our animals. Every person here is a loving, caring pet owner; we wouldn't be here if we weren't. We don't need to be lectured, but that's what you do every time you post.
