Most vet practices are now owned by a big corp which forces them to push unnecessary tests and injections. The "country" cat clinic I took my 18yr old to recently wanted to do a cardiac work up. Um no! I don't do injections or blood work anymore either. If they’re healthy there's no need. I found a mobile vet that does not ask any questions about vax history and will use them moving forward. I am sick knowing that all his health issues are related to all the injections he's had in the past. My newbies will stay vax free as long as possible!

Just like humans, the health issues so many have are probably due to the vaccines our naive parents listened to their family doc and gave us.

I know about the takeover of most vet practices by Big Pharma. Horrible. I've never been much for injections - but recently I couldn't find a vet who would sterilize without doing an injection.

I'm involved in the rescue community and there are cheap clinics that didn't even ask if I wanted the cats vaxs. I usually say they come from a FIV+ colony if they do ask. Vaxs are (more) deadly for these cats. Highly unusual but I believe they're out there!
