Saving Lives With Antibody Titer Tests

August 2011
Leading vaccine researcher Dr. Ronald Schultz doesn't want to see any more shelter pets die just because they've been exposed to a deadly infectious disease. That's why he offered a shelter a chance to make a different choice during their next outbreak, allowing them to save the lives of 17 dogs.
How did they do it? With the use of a simple in-house antibody titer test that revealed which pets had an immunity to the disease. Please join Maddie's Fund and Maddie's® Institute for a free webcast with Ronald Schultz, MS, PhD, ACVM, on "Saving Lives With Antibody Titer Tests" on Thursday, September 8, 2011, at 9 PM Eastern/8 PM Central/7 PM Mountain/6 PM Pacific.
The session will include an opportunity to ask a limited number of questions.
Registration is now open here

Attendees will learn:

What an antibody titer test measures
What "immunity" to common canine and feline illnesses means
What antibody titers are dependent on
How to read/interpret an antibody titer
The different kinds of immunity, and what they mean
How we know titer tests work
For which diseases titer tests are useful - and for which they aren't
The research behind the TiterCHEK and VacciCheck on-site tests
Recommended core canine and feline vaccines
How to use antibody titer testing to prevent or reduce an outbreak of disease in a shelter
Antibody titer testing for companion animals

Thanks I find it very interesting especially now that I have puppies and the Vets are being careful not to over vaccinate them. Somewhere down the road if these tests become available to local Vets I'd be interested in them. Thanks Krista Thanks Jen.
