font-family:Arial">I took one of the dogs to the vet recently and at the end of
our visit was given a listing of all of our pets – 3 dogs and 4 cats –
and when their next shots, etc were due. I stuffed this into my purse to
look at later. I get this sheet out today and see that two of the cats
have “overdue” indicated for a particular shot. One of the
cats’ rabies expired on 9/30/10 (he got his other shots on 9/20/10) and
another cat had a different shot that expired on 4/9/09! I called the vet
because these cats had been seen before those shots were due. I asked –
how could this be? Those cats were in for annual appointments about the time
each of those shots was due? Oh, looks like we just inadvertently missed
those shots when those animals were in for their visits. What???</span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial">Turns out the one shot was considered “optional”
so I’m not as concerned with that one as the rabies. I guess I
trust that when I take any of the animals in that they will be given all shots
that are needed. I will be getting this taken care of and request that
print-out every time so I can make sure everyone is up-to-date on everything.</span></font></p>

rescue and gave my vet information, they would have been told that I had
animals that were not kept current on their shots . . .</span></font></p>
