Specific Clinical Application | Testing for antibody is presently the only practical way to ensure that the immune system in cats and dogs has recognized the vaccinal antigen. The principles of ‘Evidence-based veterinary medicine’ suggest that testing for antibody status (for either puppies or adult dogs) should be better practice than simply administering a vaccine booster on the basis that this would be ‘safe and cost less’. |
