Ok, so I went in yesterday to get Peewee his shots and he accidentally got an extra shot.
Don't panic, he's fine
He went in to get his FeLK and Distemper, and the tech accidentally gave him Distemper and Rabies... then realized what he did, apologized up and down, and then gave him FeLK too. (It truly was an accident.. and Peewee was getting his rabies in another month anyway.. so I'm not worried.)
Anyway, when I went to pay I asked if it was a 1 year or a 3 year rabies, knowing that Karma had automatically gotten a 3 year from the last vet. But I've also heard some vets do a 1 year for the first shot and then a 3 year for every shot thereafter.
Her answer surprised me. She said they automatically give 1 year rabies unless you specifically request a 3 year. So now I'm trying to figure out what the difference is. Is it a money thing? Like do you think they give out the 1 year just so you have to pay them to come back every year? Or is there some real difference with the vaccine that I should know about before I start requesting 3 year rabies?
Thanks!
