Thats been our pet theory for a while now.  We feel with the apparently
uncomfortably high rate of reactions that it is best to have vaccinations
seperated from other procedures.  Even the two shots at the same time might
be a problem since the sstress from the first might make the second more
risky if this theory is realistic.

For not being an expert you sure said that well.  Much like an expert.
 
Well only thing might be to explain why males in rut stink.  Same reasons
as billy goats.  Ferret hobs and goat bucks have the weirdest sense of what
makes a good cologne - urine.  They get sticky and stinky and generaly
unacceptable to us humans.  But the jills and does go wild.  <shrug>  So
would you nice ladies reading the list want us guys to wet our pants before
a date?  Didn't think so...
