I would like to know how you prevent your dog from being exposed to something the vaccines might have prevented?
Forgive me for being intrusive but, I have 2/1/2 acres,my dogs can run on freely. I can't see everything they might try to bite into or lick.
I know my dogs have hunted down mice, ground squirrels, chip monks, moles, in my yard. My Angel vomited a mouse she ate last year. I was so grossed out. I took her to the vet the next day because I was so worried it might have eaten poisoning before she ate it.
I have 5 parks I can take my dogs to walk in and if they eat or lick anything there. I have a puppy that got sick with in 1 week of going to a park, and getting the 2nd distemper vaccine. The vet doesn't think his recent illness was from either of the above. He has been a vet since 1976. He has been a vet for several kennels in our area.
I have seen people not get there own children in our area vaccinated and wonder why they had whooping cough and a case of polio. I live within 60 miles from Chicago, South Bend, etc. My daughter works in an emergency department at a local hospital one of the local chinese restaurant owners had to bring in their son who got his fingers caught in a meat grinder and lost 4 fingers off his hand. The little boy was 3 and had no vaccinations. They go to China every year to visit family with their restaurant.
I don't understand not wanting to protect your own children from what others may expose you too. Even if the chance is slim?
