The clinic is the one who quoted the price for the bordatella... hence why it was stated in the estimate.

Like I said, it is more common in the shelters, our shelter has been dealing with it recently. I don't think Gizzie would need it since she wasn't at a shelter.

Ah, didn't know if they meant the cat vax or dog vax since there was mention of treating her dogs as well.

Our local Humane Society had a huge outbreak of it a few months back, and unfortunately I think the local animal control is now dealing with it...and sadly still adopting those animals out.

The animal hospital I work for has been trying to get ahold of a vax for such a long time, but our headquarters won't approve of it's use because it's not that common. A real pitty IMO. Better safe than sorry!
