Thanks, Mordy....also, I have typed up all my notes and put in excerpts from the hand out I received from the meeting I attended last Saturday...it's all on my blog if anyone wants to read it.

Thank you, Mordanna! I am sure this will help to clear up some confusion about vaccines.

Thank you for posting this.

I'm not familiar with Dr. Schultz -

It seems like alot of vaccines for puppies though -
maybe I'm just not understanding it.

Thank you!!!

Excellent information, thank you for posting the links!!!!!

There is an interesting article on veterinary vaccines which you can read in its entirety at the link below.

Are Our Pets Being Overvaccinated, by Melissa Burden, The Press http://www.presspublications.com/pages/specialreports10.asp

(Dr. W. Jean Dodds) “But there is really no breed that is not at risk,” she said. The only vaccination needed, she asserts, is the rabies vaccine because it is legally required. Dogs’ and cats’ immune systems mature fully at 6 months old, she explained. If canine distemper, feline distemper and parvovirus vaccines are given after 6 months, a pet has immunity for the rest of its life.

(Dr. Robert Rogers) “Dogs and cats no longer need to be vaccinated against distemper, parvo, and feline leukemia every year,” Rogers said. “Once the initial series of puppy or kitten vaccinations and first annual vaccinations are completed, immunity…persists for life. Not only are annual boosters for parvo and distemper unnecessary, they subject the pet to the potential risk of adverse reactions, he added.

Thanks Mordanna, Robin and Kris.

I like my vet, he is older, but stays up to date on info. He bases his schedule on local concerns and respects owners wishes. He doesn't use the vaccines most recommend not to use.

There were over 130 cases of rabies here last year.

The latest case was woman who found a raccoon and took it into her home. Everyone in the family played with it, kissed it, etc. They took it to the vet and it tested positive for rabies. Now the whole family is being treated for possible rabies.

Hello...
I don't see that anyone posted either of these sites that both have excellent info on vaccines, as well as, links to other wonderful information.

"I think poor nutrition is responsible for a majority of the chronic
disease we see in animals, and [too many] vaccines are a close second."

"When it comes to vaccines, he's of the unwavering opinion that they
are given too often, sometimes causing long-term effects that may not
be immediately apparent. Certain cancers have been linked to vaccines,
and it is thought some autoimmune problems and perhaps seizure
disorders are also triggered by boosters. "
