You missed my point, concerned lady!! I don't care where you take your dog, what kind of specialists you think can handle any problems...I am asking you, WHY WOULD YOU PUT ANY OF THAT POISON INTO YOUR DOG IF IT IS NOT NECESSARY? The rabies vaccine is something YOU MUST EDUCATE YOURSELF ABOUT--PLEASE. It matters not where you have it done. Your dog is already telling you that he is reacting...that would be enough for me. All any specialists can do is stop your dog from reacting to the poison that they are putting into his system. This will give you a false sense of health for your pup. The rabies vaccine is one of the most harsh, poisonous, allergy CAUSING, liver damaging toxins there is. I beg you to do some research on this so that you never vaccinate again. Your pup is not going to be around any dangerous rabies carrying animals and if you are not going to travel extensively then he doesn't need the vaccine. Also, there are SOME vets (usually the alternative vets like I use) who will write a legal document to your state stating that your pup cannot have that horrid vaccine because of the reaction it causes. Did you know that your 3 lb. dogs gets the same amt. of rabies solution/vaccine as a St. Bernard or horse or gorilla. They do NOT adjust the amt so you rlittle one is getting a massive dose of what he doesn't need. Please do not trust JUST YOUR VET--vets are in business to make money. They will convince you that vaccines are a must etc.
Now, having said that, I do believe that all dogs need the initial vaccines..but NEVER, EVER let a vet give your tiny dog a combo shot. And never, unless you live in the deep south, allow a leptosporosis vaccine. For little dogs this can kill. They will not tell you that If you want to contact me privately please do.
I am NOT TRYING TO SCARE BUT TO EDUCATE--HONEST. Some dogs need the rabies vaccination because they are in high danger situations...your dog is not, I don't beileve. I do not want the life span of your pup compromised because of unnecessary vaccines..If you like I will send you a couple of links to help you read about what you should know about, ok?? Bye now, Sue |
I did post that I had done additional research before the vaccine, and that I live in an area that does cause alarm. I already checked the guidelines in my state and they require that all animals be vaccinated for rabies. No exemptions. Yes, it is unfortunate. But, my reason for posting was to get information on how to handle this situation in the future. I understand you would prefer me not to vaccinate for rabies, but in this situation I did what I felt was right. No, I didn't expect this full reaction and now that has happened all I am doing is searching for help and answers. I will not completely forgo vaccines until I have done all research possible.
