that is all I have to say. |
Yeah, I understand - we're on the same page as far as Dodd's, which is why I posted her link in this thread earlier and why Dodd's site is stickied on YT.
My point, which apparently I'm very bad at expressing
, was that while some breeders indeed may give appropriate vax (like you), when you said "every breeder" in your post - to me, you were indicating that owners should follow what "every" breeder says...and that, to me, is something about which I had to say something. Please, no offense meant
.
Because all breeders do not vaccinate appropriately (nor do all vets, for that matter), this puts the onus
back onto the owner to research, educate themselves about incidence/prevalence etcetera - and find out what current recommendations are by the AAHA, as well as leading vaccine researchers.
Like I said, I really do not mean anything personally...I just feel very passionately about avoiding unnecessary vaccines.
