- Join Dr. Em to learn about which vaccines are considered core for all dogs and cats, when we give them during the puppy/kitten series, how the immune system responds, and why a vaccine appointment is far more than the injections your pet receives.

a magic and relaxing voice!
Thank you 😊
It would be great to make a video with tips on how to inject vaccines in the right areas more efficiently and quickly. There is not so much skin there!
Your veterinarian will have the skills to do this! 💪
Informative video. Purevax makes vaccines that are adjuvant free. Your thoughts on using it. Also, do you titer test if asked? FVRCP vaccines use viruses using cat kidney cells. Can this cause problems later on? Should I be concerned about this? Thank you.
How do we deal with the fact that different veterinarian's advice varies so much? Some are fine with raw feeding; others are vehemently opposed to it. Many advise to give dry food to cats to clean their teeth. Does science support this? Some are o.k. with titers, others insist on yearly vaccines. Some are fine with declawing cats, others are opposed and don't even offer it. What do you think about a pet clinic, like Banfield associated with PetSmart offering a "wellness program" that includes declawing kittens? Since male cats are prone to deadly urinary issues, what might vets do to offer preventive treatment? I've come to not blindly trust any vet after my personal experiences.
As noted above, you need to find the consensus statements from the experts and if the individual advice you have received doesn't align with those consensus statements then you need to disregard it.
I will cover the research/consensus statements around raw diets in the video after the home cooking video.
Many countries (including where I am) have banned declawing cats due to the overwhelming evidence we have about how there are zero benefits and huge detriments to the procedure.
I've already covered the vaccine consensus statements, and link to them in the video description so you can read them too.
Here's that video.

I also have a video on prevention of dental disease. Here it is

Very well made video .. too much info in a short time .. thank you Doc.
Thank you for your feedback - I appreciate it! It's true that the information can be dense at times. I hope that watching it in chunks or going through it a couple times is helpful for you!
Some subjects have more info to cover than others - I hope that you enjoy some of the other videos!
@@VetMedCorner I wish you start a series of videos directed for veterinarians with much depth and tiny details. That would be awesome .. you deliver knowledge in a very nice way . 👍
Wow - this is such a lovely compliment! Thank you 😊
In the future, if this channel ever earns any money (it's not monetized at this point as there are not enough watch hours/year) then perhaps I could hire someone to edit video and create thumbnails. In that scenario then I would have enough time to start filming an in-depth series for those in vet med. I hadn't thought about it before, but it would be neat to put out a client level and a veterinarian level video on the same subject each week! Your idea is an excellent one! It's got my mind spinning!
I shall keep this idea in mind for if it's ever possible to do in the future. 👍
@@VetMedCorner That would be awesome 👍
My vet told me that my 8 week old puppy should have a parvovirus jab at 8 weeks and another at 10 weeks, the Nobivac data sheet states 1 jab at 10 weeks should provide protection for a minimum of 3 years. On telling him I was aware of the data sheet information he agreed a single shot at 10 weeks is fine. I just find it odd that he would attempt to vaccinate twice when it’s not required as per the vaccine manufacturer data sheet.
Neither of those are correct and they absolutely do not provide adequate protection. Please watch the video and use the links in the video description to understand what the current, research based standard of care is.
This is one of my favourite videos of yours. Thank you for creating it
Now I've set the bar too high for the next one 😉😅
Thank you so much for watching! I appreciate you!
Please do a video on flea & tick prevention. I am so confused. When we adopted my parents’ dog, she had always worn Seresto collars, so we just continued using Seresto collars. Now I keep seeing horrible articles (& getting chastised) about how unsafe the typical flea & tick prevention brands are. What should pet parents do?
That's on my list of topics to cover! You are very right, it's an important topic. Pet parents should listen to their veterinarians and ignore any non-veterinarian, fear-mongering opinions. People post all sorts of wrong things all the time, it's super frustrating!
Thank you so much for the comment, I appreciate it!
I have a few questions about vaccines. I admit that I have not really paid attention to the vaccines my pets get. We just go in for a yearly checkup (if no problems between) and yearly vaccines. Then when I look on my receipt, I get so confused at what vaccines they actually got. My dogs record says Rabies, Bordetella, and DAPP+4L. Do you know what all is included in the DAPP+4L? Also, some boarding facilities require Bordetella to be given no longer than 6 months prior to boarding, so if it has been given over 6 months, do we request another dose closer to time of boarding? Now for the cats, when we got our first cat, she got Rabies, Feline Leukemia. and FVRCPC vaccines (2014-2015), but since then it has been changed to FVRCP+FeLV. My understanding is that they started doing a combo shot, which means less needles. What is the FVRCP part mean? I'm pretty sure the FeLV is for the Feline Leukemia Virus vaccine. Thanks for these educating videos.
Thank you for your questions! Yes, you are correct that your pets are receiving combination vaccines to reduce the number of jabs we have to subject them to!
For high risk situations, Bordetella is recommended to be boostered every 6mo which is why the boarding facility has that policy.
The DAPP +4L vaccine has distemper, adenovirus, parainfluenza, parvovirus and leptospira in it. That's excellent!
For your cats, the combination vaccine FVRCP + FeLV contains feline, calicivirus, rhinotracheitis, panleukopenia, and feline leukemia virus.
I'm so glad that you are working closely with your veterinarian to help keep your pets as healthy as possible! Keep up the good work!
My vet still gives vaccines in the scruff. Obviously I don’t want to tell him what to do as I’m not a vet. What should I do in this situation? Also curious about adjuvenated vs nonadjuvenated vaccines.
This is a tricky situation. To be incredibly frank, it's been best practice to give vaccines as distally as possible in cats for over a decade. As a result, if I were in this situation I would find a veterinarian with more current feline medicine knowledge/practices and see them with my cats instead. Sometimes a feline only practice can be a fantastic choice, but there are also dog/cat/exotics practices that also offer current standards of care for their feline patients.
@@VetMedCorner thank you. We do have a feline only practice maybe 40 miles away, but the vet who founded it sold it and moved out of state and I haven’t liked it as well since. Current vet refers me there if I have an issue he’s not comfortable handling. Guess I can get vaccines there as well.
Is there an age when it’s no longer necessary to give our dogs (& cats) vaccines? My senior is a Yorkie/ Shih tzu mix, & 13 years old. She has tracheal collapse, heart murmur, MVD, allergies, & spinal issues. She goes on daily walks & sees her groomer every 4 weeks, so she occasionally is around other dogs.
This is an excellent question! Rabies legislation requires us to continue vaccinating, and your local veterinarian will need to assess your dog's lifestyle risks and medical history in order to advise you about the others!
I’m curious as to why rabies vaccines are promoted when a dog lives in a low risk area and is housed with limited interactions with potentially infected animals. Vaccines have a longer life span then the reported vaccine schedule, would it not be responsible to encourage titer testing to people concerned with over vaccination? Personally I believe in giving less foreign substance into a body then absolutely necessary. Unless your a biochemist specializing in the production of said vaccines then saying vaccines are safe and harmless is repeating information that you have been taught.
Did you watch the video and use the video description for additional information?
