If you can get your vet to make a statement that it is unwise to revaccinate (given bad reaction), and pass this on to the kennels, they MAY allow your dog but may have some different care setups for unvaccinated dogs. At my boarding kennels, we sometimes have people make bookings but have insufficent vaccinations. These dogs are then put in a building about 500ms from the main kennel block and cared for there.

Daggles Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Hi, Would people mind posting what they paid for the test please as my vet said it is $300, this seems very expensive if it is to be done yearly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crisovar Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 It does not need to be done yearly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J... Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Adenovirus results back today, ideally should be 1:40 or higher according to the paperwork, Darcy's were 1:270 :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do not need to be done yearly unless you require it as paperwork. One titer test on an adult dog will show you if the dog is immune to X disease. Antibody levels are not constant, they increase when the body perceives there is a threat. $300 is a pretty excessive price though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prodigybxr Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 I'm about to get my 12yo girl tested. She hasn't been vaccinated for 11yrs and has been fed a raw diet for the last 8yrs or so. Also my 7yo lad, he hasn't been vaccinated since a pup, either. Very interested to see the results! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J... Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 I had one blood sample taken which was sent off to Gribbles in Melbourne, the Parvo and the Distemper were done at Vetpath WA and the Hep was done in the UK. But yes they are 3 separate tests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J... Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 None - they just handle them and organise for them to be sent where they needed to go along with the other samples. They have samples head to Vetpath twice a week, I think it was Tuesdays and Fridays from memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chezzyr Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Can anyone recommend any vets in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne that does titer testing? I have just received my THIRD reminder card for Rosie to get her C5 done which was due end of May and I have let it lapse as we arent involved with clubs or boarding kennels at this time. Also if anyone has some info I can print out and send to my vet I am going to send the reminder cards back to him with the info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ptolomy Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 I had Scoota and Lexi titre tested on Saturday and got the results for Scoots tonight. Have to say I got dogs done earlier in the year and it was $88 - this time I was charged $118 each dog Scoota was vaccinated at 8 and 16 weeks with C3, he is currently 4 1/2 years old. He was last titred for Parvo and Distemper 2 1/2 years ago where both results were >80. This time the results were once again >80 for both Parvo and Distemper. Lexi's results will hopefully come back tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poocow Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Very interested in these results. Top is due to be done next Monday. He would have to have a BIII as we do agility but I may ask my vet about titre testing. Darcy has been done for this year. Would him having parvo as a pup affect his results? Ie. Would he have immunity for life as hes already had the disease? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
