Rabies Vaccine - Vet is Fear Mongering
I am very upset with my cat's vet clinic and need some advice/opinions. My cat suffers from a condition that makes her constantly twitch and is on medication for life. She is aggressive at the vet clinic because she doesn't like to be touched so they have to sedate her to do blood work and then reverse the sedation. On top of all this, they also give her the rabies vaccine. I am very upset that they insist on the vaccine, even going as far as threatening that if I refuse the vaccine, that my cat may be contained and put down! I was in tears after hearing this. They are well aware of the fact that my cat never goes outside and we live in a high-rise apartment with absolutely no chance of any animal rabid or not coming into the apartment. They keep citing the laws and Vicarious Liability.
I have read hundreds of stories from pet owners who have had their animals die after being vaccinated. Why do vets push this vaccine on UNHEALTHY animals? They threaten that they will not refill my cat's prescription if I don't have her in annually for the blood work and rabies vaccine.
When an animal has been vaccinated for rabies every year for the last 5 years, you would think they have enough antibodies built up in their system and would not require to be vaccinated again.
If anyone knows of a vet clinic in Toronto holistic or not that does not push this vaccine on unwell animals that are on life long meds, please pm me. Thank you.
