My dog has had annual corona/distemper/parvo shots each year for the past ten years ... she's 12. A Pomeranian

Just in case you're not aware of the latest vaccination protocols----

Twenty-two Schools of Veterinary Medicine including Texas A&M University do not recommend canine corona virus vaccine. Apparently, they've (A&M) seen only 1 case in the last 7 yrs.

Thanks!!! Several months ago, there was a thread here on FR with the source as the Houston Chronicle. It stated that vets are now finding out that dogs should not have those 3 in 1 shots every year ... maybe every two or three years. Rabies every three years.

My dog was due for her rabies AND the other shots this month, and keeping that article in mind, just had her get the rabies shot only to satisfy the license law. So, really, she hasn't had those other shots in a little over a year.

I was going to wait a year or more to have her vaccinated ... she is an eight-lb. dog, and that article said that the little ones get the SAME dose as a St. Bernard would get!!!

So, maybe she doesn't need them anymore??

Again, thanks for any info!
