NO more shots -- they can have reactions up to 30 days after a vaccination

contact dr. jean dodds at Animal Blood Bank and Restore Health Cente and consult her as i believe it was the vaccines. I just learned from someone on here they give the rabies dose the same for a 90lb dog as a 2lb dog so if they gave her the full rabies that was not good and it is up to the owner to ask for a lower dose. I titer for everything and have for years. I am so sorry but i have to say this was shot related if she never had seizures before and she is 3 now -- did you have pre and post bile acids done to rule out liver disease? How long after shots did she have this grand mal as this was a grand mal and not petite as petit they just go stiff on side but grand mal is when they shake - poor thing that just infuriates me with the over vaccinating especially in small breeds.

what vaccines did they give and get that blood work- epilepsy is hard to detect in blood work but honestly i still blame the shots. My parents have a 7 year old silky who is healthy as can be and he had his shots and they did bordatella shot and he dry heaved for 4 days afterwards and then tried to tell my dad it might be pancreatitis when he never gets anything but kibble for 7 years and no high fat treats. I was so angry and called vet and said never give him bordatella shot again and put on his records and why are you vaccinating every year when it is suppose to be every 3 years now and they said it was up to the owners to tell them this -- unbeleiveable so you have to be your own pets health advocate it seems. I asked what was different from previous year and they said they gave bordatella shot instead of intranasal and i said now that is what caused it so mark his chart to never get that and why did she do this to begin with? she said because he is muzzled so she did the shot -- I told them there are muzzles with an open nose give me a break and everyone knows there are more side effects to shots than intranasal. They wanted to run a bunch of tests to see what was wrong with him and i said the only thing wrong with this healthy dog was the vaccinations -- luckily my dad told them he did not have the money so what do they recommend. Smartest thing my dad did as they would have ran wild with that bill by what he was telling me

sorry to vent but it just gets me upset how we have to do so much homework when this is there job to inform us what is safe for our toy breeds.
