The other day I had a interesting discussion with a lady that is involved with Maltese and Yorkie rescue. She said that many dogs that are believed to have liver shunt actually do not. Apparently at A & M University they have done some liver biopsies and they are discovering that in some dogs the vaccinations are 'balling' up in the liver causing liver damage. I think she mentioned lepto was the main one causing the problem but I am not sure if that is the only one. Also, she said there have been several dogs that have died on the table while undergoing a liver biopsy. It really infuriates me that we are not being told the truth about what we are doing to our poor dogs. She also said there is evidence that the microchipping is causing cancer in dogs. I really wish we could get some honest answers on all these issues. We, the American public, are constantly being deceived by the medical and pharmaceutical companies.
Here is a interesting article on rabies vaccinations written by a vet.

If you are a breeder and give your own vacciantions, please follow the new protocol and do not start vaccinations before 9 weeks and preferably wait longer. The lady I spoke with starts shots at 12 weeks and gives 1/2 doses. If you are a puppy buyer, question the people you get your puppy from. If they start vaccinating at 6 weeks then you might end up with a sick puppy. If you take your puppy to the vets then don't let them talk you into unnecessary vaccinations.
I know much of this has been discussed over and over again but I just had to vent. I am very concerned about all our fur babies.
