Hi Tammie. I’m still confused. Vaccines probably should be given by weight, but are not. A Great Dane gets the same dose as a Chihuahua, although some wise vets give smaller doses to small dogs. It is illegal to give smaller doses of the rabies vaccine.

I’d be interested in knowing which vaccines were given, especially how many vaccines (not injections) were given. It should be in your dog’s file.

I’m very sorry for your loss.

My beagle/terrier mix received her vaccine’s Nov 2010 and at the same time the vet also somehow got confused and turned around and injected her with our lab/roth mix vaccine’s. Weigh was about 30 pounds difference. Therefore she received three times her dose. We lost her Dec 16, 2011. She was only 7 years old.

Jackie, your friend is more wise than your vet. Why would your adult dog need a 6 in 1 puppy shot? Please read this about titer testing: http://www.dogs4dogs.com/blog/category/titertesting/ And also read this about why adult dogs don’t need puppy shots: http://www.dogs4dogs.com/blog/2009/04/22/no-unnecessary-dog-shots/ To get a remedy to help with the rabies shot, which should never be given with other shots, contact marina at naturalrearing.com (Just skip the space after marina for spam purposes.) Let me know if you need more help.

Hi, I took my 21/2 year old Wheaton to my vet.He said she was due for her shots Rabies, and 6 in 1 shot plus her paw had been hurting so he gave her an anti-inflamatory shot. I was talking to a client who breeds Ridgebacks and she said is that the 3 year Rabie shot I said no he does 1 year shots. She said switch vets. Katie doesn’t need alot of those shots he gave her. Especially the 6 in 1 shot. She said I do not let my dog get the Rabie shot at the same time other shots are given. This being my first dog I assume the vet knows what he is talking about. I read in your article and I can’t find it now if 6 in 1 shot and Rabie was given go to Naturalrearing.com and buy medicine to give to the dog to counteract the damage from the shots I can’t find it now though. Could you please tell me what they were. Jackie

[...] Note: Never give a rabies shot at the same time as other boosters – space them out by at least two weeks. Completely avoid 5- or 7-way combo shots (which many vets push). The combo shots are risky for multiple reasons. Read about the risk of combo shots. [...]

Margo, another thought. Banfield supplied data to a study of adverse reactions in small and medium-sized dogs, which also pertains to big dogs. Not only have experts told me, as I suspected, that the reactions were under-reported, Banfield continued to give combo shots to all dogs despite the known health risks. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! http://www.dogs4dogs.com/blog/2009/09/30/vaccinating-small-dogs-risks-vets-arent-revealing/

Margo, what a sad story you’ve told. Do you know about homeopathy therapy for vaccinosis? You can find a referral list for vets trained in homeopathy at http://www.dogs4dogs.com/vet

Also, I hope you reported all your dogs’ illnesses to the manufacturers of the vaccine. You may be able to recoup on-going expenses. At the very least, they’ll know about the damage they are doing and the USDA will have to be notified.

I’m so sorry for your losses.

THANK you for this informative and intelligent site. I lost my beloved lab two months after his vaccine — which turned out to be a “jumbo” or “combo” shot from a PetSmart Banfield vet. He had an allergic reaction in his leg that night, which I reported the next day, but he was never the same. Within two months he had widespread pancreatic and liver cancer and was DEAD. He was perfectly healthy in every way until the day he got that vaccine. I lost another lab a few years before to liver cancer, who probably received that same damn vaccine, except he didn’t have an external reaction. On top of all this, my pit bull developed mast cell tumors and I had two of them removed. Now she is on a low dose of steroids to keep the tumor down, and is healhy. know the vaccine killed my best friend, and I refuse to give it my dogs now. I am hoping that without another “dose” of these toxic vaccines, my pit bull can continue to recover and live a longer life than the five years each of my wonderful labs had. And, like everyone else, I thought I was being a loving and responsible pet owner by giving them their shots. My heart goes out to everyone who has experienced the tragedy of this over-vaccination epidemic. We all need to speak out and let our vets know when these things happen so they can become more educated. Thanks again for validating what I knew to be true.
