So if you have a tennancy to have allergic reactions to meds then you should deff stay away from the ones that have large % of know allergic reactions because you run a bigger chance of having a reaction to it then someone who has no known allergies. Make sense ?
No, not really.

I actually do understand the allergic response and I don't understand this at all. I have never heard of someone being told to avoid strawberries because they are allergic to peanuts. If that were the case, heck they probably should not eat much of anything because a person can develop an allergy to anything at any time.

The lepto vaccine is well known to cause problems. I have never heard of someone being told to avoid doxycycline because they had a problem with the lepto vaccine. I keep saying that and some people want to explain it without any real evidence that it is true. That is all I asked for...information that does prove this theory. And, as far as I know, Doxycycline is no more of an issue than many other antibiotics. I cannot count how many dogs I have given it to over the past few years. Some for extended periods since that is what is recommended with heartworm treatment. None have had any problems.
