Someone asked me awhile ago my opinion on cat vaccinations. I gave it, including "no, your indoor cat doesn't need any more Feline Leukemia vaccines, nor does she need a distemper every year, that is a THREE year shot now, if at all, and for rabies, PureVax only.
Kitty had to have a dental, very stressful time as we all know.
Today kitty's owner was telling me a story about how much better she feels after her dental. I said something about, she'll feel better since you've stopped all the extra vaccinations now too. Kitty's owner said "Oh no, she had them all". I said, oh, I thought you'd decided to get only the rabies. Kitty's owner said "They wouldn't do the dental unless she had them all because they kept her overnight in the hospital". I tried not to be judgmental. I said "I never heard of THAT". What could I do, she had to have the dental? I was asked. My answer was "I would have gone somewhere else."
Can you imagine? What kind of unethical policy is that? Rabies is the only vaccine required by law. A cat in a cage in a clinic should not be in any danger of contracting any disease, or spreading it. Not to mention this cat has had FeLK vaccine every year of her life already.
As it happens I already have a very poor opinion of this vet based on an experience back in 2002. My opinion has not changed.
