| Distemper Parvo Vaccine??? I have a question, since Chance is a rescue the vet that neutered him just gave him his Rabies Vaccination but nothing more. Do I go ahead and give him a distemper since I have know way of knowing if he ever really had one. If he gets it, will he be over vaccinated and get sick?

| Personally, I would have a titer run and see how his immunity is. Parvo is another vaccine that has been questioned lots lately. My girls have never been vaccinated for it. Also, if he is a smaller guy - you might not want to have Lepto in the vaccine.

| Didn't the rescue vaccinate for it? Giving anymore than one or two distemper vaccines in a lifetime could be considered over vaccinating, so it depends who you talk to. Maybe just give one or two rounds?

No, the dogs were taken by the ASPCA and then kept at a local animal shelter/pound. They were not given any distemper just rabies and all spayed/neutered.
