Thanks for perspective, newfsmith. Yes, I realize it's rare, but with a cat who has already had a lump form from a vaccine, I'm not willing to take more chances than I have to. Some vet practices only use Purevax, so I'm not alone in deciding it is the better option for my cat. My regular vet was able to secure a dose of it from another office, so I think the situation turned out okay.
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
