I got a postcard from my vet saying that Blue is due for the following booster:

FDV-RC-CL

Does anyone know what this is? I wanted to take her to Petco on Saturday for the low cost vaccination clinic but this isn't listed on the flyer. Is it a name for something else or is it something she can only get at the vet. I was just going to bring the card with us to Petco and show it to the vet there but I don't want to put her through the stress of a trip out if they can't do it. If anyone knows what this is please let me know.

I am not sure what it means either. Could you call your vet's office and ask them......then call Petco and see if the shots they give are the same??

I think its the 4-in-1 shot - rhino, calicvirus, distemper and one other one.

But its now recommended that you get vaccines every 3 yrs - not once a year any more - the vaccines last longer then a year - it was too much and overdosing them.

Normally the annual examination is due at the time of the vaccinations, so I would also call the vet to make sure that Blue isn't due for an exam (which are always important.)

Thank you all for your feedback. Her birthday is in Feb. so she will be due for her annual exam then. I guess taking her a few weeks early won't hurt and they can give her whatever shots she is due for. I just didn't want to have to take her twice in such a short peroid of time if it's not necessary, she get's really stressed out. I'll call the vet on Monday and make her an appointment. Thanks again.
