VACCINATIONS NOT RECOMMENDED
Multiple components in vaccines
compete with each other for the immune system, and result in lesser
immunity for each individual disease, as well as increasing the risk of
a reaction. Canine Corona Virus is only a disease of puppies. It is
rare, self limiting (dogs get well in 3 days without treatment).
Cornell & Texas A&M have only diagnosed one case each in the last 7
years. Corona virus does not cause disease in adult dogs.
Leptospirosis vaccine is a
common cause of adverse reactions in dogs. Most of the clinical cases
of lepto reported in dogs in the US are caused by serovaars (or types)
grippotyphosa and bratsilvia. The vaccines contain different serovaars
eanicola and ictohemorrhagica. Cross protection is not provided, and
protection is short lived. Lepto vaccine is immuno-supressive to
puppies less than 16 weeks.
