I was just wondering if those of you that have multiple cats.......do you give your own vaccines? I see some on her with 7-8 cats, i can imagine the vet bills! And those of you that rescue? Just curious. Thanks
Oh to have a MIL like that!Originally Posted by Arlyn
I don't pay vet bills.
MIL runs a cat sanctuary and works at a vet clinic, all of our vet costs are defrayed.
In fact, they only actually go to the vet for emergencies.
She comes with her cooler full of vaccines, bag of sterile syringes and vacc. records on each cat, and vaccs them once a year.
No, I don't give my own vaccines.Originally Posted by Sammie's mom
oh no, i'm not. i was just wondering for those that have so many cats what you do. that would get extremely expensive.

It is always better to leave medical diagnosis and treatment as well as vaccinations to a trained professional. A Vet doesnt go through that many years of school for nothing.
