There's a lot of controversy over this issue and in my opinion, the answer is still up in the air. Personally, I'd do what your doctor suggested... wait next year and see if Sky gets the alergies without the vaccination.

One thing though.. We become very close to our pets. We see them every day and we might not notice things that a trained professional will spot right away. So, even if you decide against the yearly shots, an annual examination is really necessary. Twice a year is even better, but at the cost now..

I hope Sky gets over his problems quickly and never has them again.
