I had a veterinary try to pawn off a 2 year rabies vaccine, so I went to another vet who gave a 3 year vaccine. Are the two and three year vaccine the same? Is this another money making scheme by the pharmaceutical industry?

Overvaccinating can't be good for a cat or a dog.

Hi my dog is about 14 years of age
Lately on her lowest breast she is developing a large lump but it is shaped in the form of a cluster, she does not seem to have any problems with it.
I am scared of taking her to the vet in case he wants to operate and at her age is this a good thing
thanks

Does it seem solid and attached, or can you move it ?
Does she wince or seem to feel uncomfortable or in pain when you touch it?
I suspect one of three things.
Fatty cyst. Not unusual in older dogs.
Cancerous tumour.
Herniated abdominal wall.

How large is the lump?

Sure. But just like dry food, some are good and some are poor.
Check the ingredients. If it is mostly water,corn,soy by products.....it's poor.
Look for meat.

I would tell them they can't. I wouldn't expect them to listen. I would do it. From a distance so I wouldn't get eaten' of course. hahaha

Really, if you have serious concerns about your dog ,you really should take it the Vet. That could save its life waiting might not.
