Has your vet called Merial to ask about the new recombitek CD
vaccine? It was recently posted (I think by Steve and Cheryl.) that
Merial gave their vet an order date.
We have two in our crew who likley won't have any CD vaccines
in their future because they react to both the previously available
CD vaccines: Fervac and Galaxy.
Yes, we always pre-medicate and we do separate vaccines and
those precautions do help. What we don't do is we don't again
give a vaccine which has caused an anaphylactic reaction.
