Heck, I'm already terrified of the things in general (after having several pets experience averse reactions) - so I don't need the extra anxiety of wondering if I did it correctly. We titer test (way more expensive than vaccines already), and vaccinate only when effective and necessary. Someone who has been taught how to do it correctly (say, a very responsible rescue who could save more pets as a result of the financials)? Sure, and only if it's coming from a very trusted resource that houses the vaccines properly.

Not only for the reasons you listed, but because I don't know how to correctly do it and would probably wind up giving it wrong and doing horrid damage. Vet vaccines are horribly expensive (Pike just finished his puppy vaccines as well as his rabies this month. Ow.), but worth it.<br />DMDachshund Nolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12050622761352753529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694957759926236569.post-48118746256380085172014-07-29T18:26:32.223-04:002014-07-29T18:26:32.223-04:00I don't give any of my pets vaccines.

So many of my friends do their own vaccines and give me guff about paying all that money to have my vet administer them. I worry about exactly what you mentioned... improperly handled vaccines that could cost my animal its life. <br /><br />My horse had a reaction to one of her vaccines a couple years ago and my vet filed a complaint with the manufacturer. Luckily her reaction was mild, but what if it had been severe? Would I have been able to get a vet out to the barn in time?<br /><br />Too many risks for me. I just fork over the $$ instead.in2paintshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17591335561198768308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694957759926236569.post-46415829060655488642014-07-29T12:45:10.616-04:002014-07-29T12:45:10.616-04:00I would not vaccinate at home, for a couple reason...I would not vaccinate at home, for a couple reasons. I know nothing about it, and have no clue what to give, where to give it, etc.... also I trust a vet much much more!<br />The cost of Vets here in Canada are absolutely crazy! To take your pet in to get an exam and vaccinated costs around $200.<br />Crazy, but ya gotta do what ya gotta do!<br />ღ husky hugz ღ frum our pack at <i><b><a href="http://ownedbyahusky.blogspot.ca" rel="nofollow">Love is being owned by a husky!</a></b></i> Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17754769598598752012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694957759926236569.post-71004598190506683622014-07-29T09:10:14.500-04:002014-07-29T09:10:14.500-04:00No, its off to the vet we go.

I don't think it is common here and have actually never heard of the such but maybe it happens in more rural communities. Interesting post.

Of course, the same mistakes could be made by a veterinary office although we were always good about putting our vaccines away as soon as they arrived. They are shipped to the vet the same way. <br /><br />I used an at home vaccine at home once before I was a vet tech. I was in college to become one, but didn't have any experience doing vaccines yet. The vaccine comes with 2 vials - a powder and a diluent and one needle with syringe. Here's where I had my trouble with the vaccine. You have to poke the needle into the diluent, suck it up into the syringe and then poke the needle into the powder to mix it all up. That's 2 pokes with your needle, making it more blunt. And if you mess up, you might poke the jars more than twice like I did. By the time I got to Shiner, I had a really rough time getting that needle through her skin. It was like trying to stab someone with a butter knife :( At the vet clinic, we always replaced the dull needles with fresh ones so they would be easier to give.
