HOWEVER, UNLESS YOUR FRIEND WAS A VET, and filled out all the proper paper work, the shot does not fulfill the legal rabies requirement. This is a terrible mistake. Your dog will need another rabies vaccine by a vet. If this is the case, please write me again first. This can be very dangerous for your dog.

How old was your dog when she had her last parvo/distemper shot? Please write and I’ll tell you how to proceed.

Here are two short articles about the flu shot. http://www.dogs4dogs.com/blog/2009/07/01/dog-flu-vaccine-do-you-need-a-shot-for-the-h3n8-virus/ and http://www.dogs4dogs.com/blog/2009/12/18/dog-flu-shot-thoughts-from-a-vet-about-h3n8/ You might also want to read the comments at the bottom of the first article. This is a new shot which, in my opinion, hasn’t be adequately tested.

Is the vet insisting on any other shots? If your dog is an adult, they may be unnecessary. Read here: http://www.dogs4dogs.com/blog/2009/04/22/no-unnecessary-dog-shots/

Have you seen the page on my website about shots? http://www.dogs4dogs.com/shots There’s a short video and links to two relatively enlighted organization reports about over-vaccination. (See the bottom of the page.) They’re still too conservative, but they’re a start.

Thanks for joining the fray. You might want to sign up for my free newsletter for updates. http://www.dogs4dogs.com/signup I’ll be writing a new issue soon.

Thank you for your condolences. I would like to thank you for posting Catherine O’Driscoll report online and making it easier for all to read. I have read everyone of your posts and it makes me sick. I have personally delivered the report to my neighbours with dogs and to date we have now sent out out about 80 emails with the report attached and also your website. We have been asking that everyone they know be contacted and hopefully this email will not die. We have also stated we are not against immunization but to make it within reason. I have friends who are posting on facebook as well on blogs. While walking my other two dogs I will carry slips of paper with your website and ask other dog owners to check it out for the health of their dog. I have no shame only remorse that I did not know of this sooner. This information needs to get out and everyone needs to put some muscle into this. 39 percent of American homes have a dog and hopefully each household will have a friend who is willing to sign a petition and have the laws changed regarding vaccination. If this was a human issue the drugs would be recallled. Although I am not American, and | live in Canada the laws regarding vaccination are similar and we also have the same portion of dogs in households. This is not just a Canada/America problem it is worldwide. I am willing to walk the beaten path to collect signatures to amend this injustice.

Catherine O’Driscoll, a renowned expert on vaccination and over-vaccination, wrote the excellent article you mentioned on how vaccines damage dog health. She is a friend and an overseas fellow advocate. You can find the article on my website at http://www.dogs4dogs.com/JR_Articles/Vaccine%20Damage I have made a few notes in the margin to make it easier to reference. You might also refer people to http://www.dogs4dogs.com/blog/2009/04/22/no-unnecessary-dog-shots/ It is written for people less familiar with the science.

He was given the heartworm meds on June 4. He was taken back to the vet on June 8 as he jumped out of the truck and appeared to have hurt his hind leg and was given another blood test the results were his blood had declined back to where he started. They then prescribed azathioprine and I was told the prednisone had stopped working but to continue giving it. Azathioprine is used for transplants human patients to suppress the immune system. He was continuing to decline and on June 10 we took him back to the vet who prescribed Atopica to be added.

My poor boy was so sick and having problems breathing as his blood levels were so low he wasn’t getting oxygen. He was suffocating. Floyd died on June 11th. He was euthanized by the same vet. I asked the vet why I was not informed that the vaccines could harm him or any other dog for that matter. The reply is that he was a rare case and the benefits outweigh the risk. Risk or profit. From the vaccination to his death we have spent ab out $1500 or maybe more. It is not the money it is the senseless loss of Floyd who was a healthy active border collie.

I did find an interesting article which is written in laymen terms which describe why my boy died and every pet owner should read type “Science of vaccine damage” into your search engine. It is about ten pages long and I am forwarding it to everyone I know and asking that they forward it to everyone they know. Floyd will not die in vain. I am contacting animal rights groups asking they publish what can happen to your pet with vaccines. Governments have legislated that you must be informed on any harmful results a drug may have so why wasn’t I informed by my vet of what a vaccine could do. I should have been given that information by my vet who did know. You put your trust in these people to help your pet not harm them. It is time to put an end to the cash cow of vaccines for vets. The internet is a wonderful tool for spreading this information and I suggest that everyone use it. Tell everyone you know and tell them to tell everyone they know and maybe it will stop the senseless sickness and death of our pets. My buck stops here and I will not be vaccinating the other two ever again. They will be going to homeopathy vet from here on in.
