stoli has turned one year old and i'm wondering what shots/vaccinations he's going to need. is he going to need something each year? i don't want to over vaccinated as i feel his immune system is a little touchy.

any thoughts?

The only shots our cats get are the normal 4 in 1 (distemper, rhino, calisivirus, and panalukipia) and rabies. (I know I didn't spell them right
)

They now recommend shots every 3 years instead of the yearly ones.

I'm not sure...but - personally, if I was boarding my cats I would want the combo/'distemper' shot up to date. The illnesses it vaccinates against are easily caught, even without close contact. I wouldn't want to over vaccinate either, but for boarding I make exceptions

so i didn't get the message in time to find out if he needs any thing else because of the boarding. . . .but

they said i 'have to' vaccinate rabies every year - it's just in dogs that they can do every three. . . . they also said the distemper can be every three after this round
