As a person who had a dog that did have a terrible reaction to a vaccine, I may be a tad biased, as well as more passionate about over-vaccination issues.
Here's my question though - I am sure my dogs vaccine reaction wasn't "reported" - or maybe it was? I'm not really sure how that works. But I never filed a complaint or anything of the sorts. The vet also never told me what the heck she was even giving my dog, nor explained what any of the vaccines were for, what the possible risks were, and when I got home and thought my dog was dying, rushed him back in there, for them to charge me a ton more for the visit back for his reaction. This was a while back, he was 12 weeks, but I remember being frustrated.
But absolutely can see how the first article could be alarming. |
Very scary. My memory is failing me, was it the Lepto vaccination that Jackson reacted to?
We left our first vet because she did the same with Max's puppy shots -- gave him everything under the sun without discussing with me. I didn't know what I was doing.
I don't think anyone posting in this thread takes vaccinations lightly. I think we are all mindful of potential reactions and monitor our pups after they are done.
Reporting of reactions -- yes, very good questions.
