I would never take a chance of any of my babies getting this horrid disease so I do innoculate. And even that doesnt always do the trick because of the different strains of Parvo.In 29 years of breeding dogs, I have never seen or heard of a dog having neurological problems from a Parvo shot. I do not believe in over innoculating either. I dont give my adults boosters every year, unless they are being shown. Just wondering how that holistic thing works. |
I'm afraid that I don't possibly understand this myself. This sickness is very well known to all breeds and I don't see how natural herbs or natural anything could avoid this when it comes to animals. I believe there are some shots worth having to avoid diseases and parvo shots are one of the ones. I also believe the ones using this holistic care are not really for sure themselves, they just think that it is the best or is a great selling point when it comes to a sale. I sure hope I didn't open a can of worms with my first post on the subject......because it seems people are really into the hype of holistic care which it could prove dangerous to a new yorkie owner.
Also Jen those little boys are so cute.........good luck on finding them a great holistic/normal home.
