It is similar to the controversy that surrounds vaccines and children and autism.
I am SO sorry this is happening to Polo. I hope that if this is what he has, he will respond to treatments. There is chemo that can help.
Having a son with autism... I know that this theory has been debunked yrs ago. The connection and concern was that toddlers given the last set of MMR shots, would shortly after lose talking abilites. Suddenly unable to respond . This was a huge debate. Scientists now have taken the stand that one does not have anything to due with the other.
As far as dog vaccines , I only gave my 2 their puppy shots including rabies, Thankfully no serious adverse reactions. They are both in need for rabies vaccine though. I am taking them for it on Saturday. That way I can get their city liesence on monday .
If i were to give them anymore vaccines, I would opt for the titer testing first.
