When Meg came due for her distemper/parvo vaccine a couple of weeks ago, I decided to go ahead and have a titer done rather than automatically re-vaccinating her. She had the vaccine when she first came into rescue a year ago; her medical history before that was unknown. The results:
Distemper - 1:32 is considered adequate
Meg: 1:256
Parvo - 1:64 is considered adequate
Meg: 1:16,384:yikes:
I'm extremely glad I chose to do the titer first! It was more expensive, but I'd rather not mess with her immune system if I don't need to, and it certainly looks fine!
