Recently I have had three pups that I could not touch for 24 hours after their DHPP ... the vet has not changed where they get these from and they believe that nothing has been changed by the manufacturer. I don't believe it and told them that in the near future something is going to be said about it. What are the odds that three pups in the same household had reactions? Nothing deadly, but that is not the point....it was clearly related to the shots. I believe it will be just like other stuff in the past....it will take large numbers of reactions being reported and someone will wake up and there will be a recall. I have never in all my years had this type of reaction, so I am convinced something is wrong. |
I agree it is going to take time. It seems odd to me aslso that 3 suddenly had a reaction.
I would like to see the AKC and the breed clubs start to lobby for some change. But it is probalby just going to take the general pet owner to make their own decision on it.
If there was this much proof in human vaccines they would have changed a long time ago.
In my opinion the AKC is going about it backwards. They spend a lot of money on research trying to find cures for hereditary diseases instead of lobbying for laws against pets being sold by brokers and pet stores. so we can stop the breeding of dogs with these diseases.
That, in turn, would decrease the number of unwanted dogs.
I kind of got side tracked there, my point being the biggest animal organization in the country would have influence on the laws governing the health of our dogs.
So instesd of using dogs for testing new vaccines, in order to fix the problem, lets just get rid of the problem.
