It seems we are seeing more and more vaccine reactions....I am really concerned about this...I have used Pro-Gard-5 for years and never had one incident. Now the drug company that makes Pro-Gard has merged with another company, and they have produced a new vaccine to replace the Pro-Gard-5. There have been a couple vets that have said their incidents of vaccine reactions have increased since switching to this new vaccine....I am wondering what vaccine pets on this forum, that have had reactions, especially those that have never had reactions before, if they are getting this "new" vaccine? I have contacted the drug company about this....of course, "there is nothing to report as far as adverse reactions to this vaccine", and I was curtly corrected that this vaccine is "NOT new, it is the same as the old Pro-Gard-5". I consulted my vet and she advised me to steer clear of Ft. Dodge products....she gave me the name of the vaccines they use and I will be going with those, as she said there have been no imcrease in reactions...they have very few reactions. The "new" vaccine that replaced Pro-Gard-5 is Nobivac Canine 1-DAPPv.....it would be interesting to see if all these reactions are related to this vaccine....my vet has suggested I give Vanguard Plus 5. |
