would you use 7way shots that are out of date?

no

No.You are trying to offer your dog protection against potentially serious health concerns.Why take the risk that the vaccine won't be effective??

Would u take meds that r outdated. Or eat food that is outdated. 7-ways aren't that expensive. I would just go get updated vaccines.

now i have taking meds that were out dated . maybe thats why I'm all messed up

Did ya ever think they put an expiration on them so you think ya have to buy more? You guys dont think you ever took meds that were out outdated? Ever eat chips or pretzels that were past their best by date, ever drank a soda or a beer past its date thats been in the fridge for 2 years, ever eat a can of soup that was in the back of the pantry for a oh so long time but ate it anyway? Use the shots.

I resently used some oxytoson that was 10 yrs out of date and It worked fine within 5 minutes the bitch was push'n . I did call my vet before hand , he forsure it would not hurt her but it may or may not work . It did. Now on a shot such as whats being talked about , don't think I'd use a 10 yr out of date shot but would use a 1 yr out of date . Most all drugs shelf life is longer than whats printed on them , this info is straight my my buddy who's a drug rep. Some not so much as others .
Use the shot.

Exactly Randy, I'm sure the shots Bear was talking about we're not 10yrs old. Even I wouldn't eat a 10yr old can of soup but I may heat it up and have a bite or two. As I said use the shots.

As long as they are and have been stored under proper temperatures, it should be fine. One thing I want to point out is that those shots have live virus in it so it isn't exactly like eating something normal that expired.

Benadryl can effectively used 2 to 4 years after expedition but something like pennecillin would be pretty suspect imo... if you google it I am sure you can get good data on how long past exertion they work.
