Thanks for your further reply and advice. Upon reading it I realized that, in addition to being boarded for 8 days in Sept. 08 during a hurricane, power outage, falling trees, no a/c PLUS being away from us, then having one of his companion dogs (his grandma) put down 11/08 - he was also given a rabies vaccination while being boarded - !!! I don't usually vaccinate my pets because they are never outside except to bathroom, and they are rarely exposed to other animals - and all of my pets have lived well into old age - i.e. - cats - 20-23 yrs old; dogs - 14-16 yrs old. And I truly believe it is because they have NOT been vaccinated/innoculated!! - Why do I believe this??? -
Well, my baby boy - now 24 yrs old - was a high-risk SIDS baby - and suffered from apnea. Thru his care and my extensive research I became the state contact for SIDS and Apnea Monitoring in Louisiana from 1985-1990. Some of the research papers sited childhood immunizations as being the suspected cause of many childhood illnesses/weaknesses and sometimes even death. - i.e. - DPT- a Shot in the Dark - Many British mums, and even some researchers, theorized that Pertussis vaccine was the 'trigger' for SIDS - and even my pediatrician refused to give my son the full-dosage DPT - hmmmmm??? Might I add, that my son is now 6'3" tall and VERY healthy and SO GOOD LOOKING!!

Oh, we were talking about 4 legged sons -

silly me!! ahhemmm

Well to continue on that note - I know I will be opening myself up to severe scolding from some furbaby owners on this 'not vaccinating' issue - but that is my opinion, and it has served well for my pets.

Anyway - I love all the concern and love that is shared on this site - friendly and not-so-friendly - It is all given and taken in love for these wonderful Angels God shares with us. Keep it coming!!
