Not a shot! Anti-vax movement prompts Brooklynites to withhold inoculations from their pets
Brooklyn Paper ^

Posted on 08/01/2017 3:34:45 PM PDT by ameribbean expat

Do not vaccinate: A growing, national anti-vaccination movement that claims the inoculations can cause autism in children has led Brooklyn pet-owners to withhold vaccines against deadly and spreadable diseases from their critters, according to local veterinarians.

Civilization in reverse continues, peddle to the metal. Guess we’ll have to go back a couple of centuries or more to figure out why modern medicine was a good thing. Islam will assist in the process.

“less stressful to them” What stress? Getting poked every year when it is not really needed is what stresses them...

And my pocket book for no reason needed... Tell you what, I’m going to be honest and tell you straight up I’m pretty sure it’s a scam, the passion of pet owners is played and exploited all of the time.

I grew up in a 150 year old ranching family. They can pull the wool over ignorant city people’s eyes but not mine. In my world I very much love my Dogs but they are a tool, not something to give a personal fortune to.

I wouldn’t give it to my prize bull or best horse either.

In a crowded environment, it’s best to keep herd immunity high. If it isn’t, vaccinations become more and more important on the individual level.

Did you know that parvo was *caused* by a vaccine given to cats?

Dogs exposed to the feces of vaccinated cats were infected with parvo when the virus ‘jumped’ species.

Vets make more profit on vaccines than just about anything else.

Parvovirus
The Disease
Parvovirus is a common disease that appeared throughout the developed world in the 1970’s as a direct result of vaccination. Being a canine form of Feline Viral Enteritis, it is thought that the virus ‘jumped’ through dogs coming in contact with vaccinated cat’s infectious stool, or mutated during the production of the distemper vaccine which was cultivated on infected cats kidneys, (very similar reports have been made regarding the polio vaccine in humans). The disease is only of real concern in puppies, as 90% of dogs over the age of 8 weeks will survive infection without complication, with death in mature healthy dogs being almost unheard of. While mature dogs usually only experience a type of diarrhea and enteritis, young puppies are at serious risk of heart failure and chronic cardiac problems.

Treatment Options
Vaccinated puppies don’t respond as well to treatment as unvaccinated puppies. Due to the seriousness of symptoms produced by this disease in young pups, an experienced veterinary homeopath should be consulted quickly to determine the most appropriate remedy. While awaiting a consultation, Aconite 30C can be given orally every two hours. It is critical to avoid dehydration, and if this is feared, China 6C or 30C may be given every hour in a little filtered water.

Reasons to Vaccinate
The parvo vaccine is effective if given after 12 to 16 weeks. If given before this age, the maternal antibodies are likely to block the vaccine.
Reasons not to Vaccinate
Vaccinating for parvo keep the disease in the environment. There is no vaccine for the original strain of parvovirus, CAV-1 yet dogs no longer get sick from it. The newer strains, which do cause illness in dogs, are the result of mutation due to vaccination. The same issue is happening worldwide with the polio vaccine.
Like other modified live vaccines, the parvo vaccine has been known to create the disease it was intended to prevent.
Puppies are likely to be exposed to parvo when brought to the vet’s office for their parvo vaccination. It takes two weeks for the vaccine to protect the puppy, so not only can the vaccine cause parvo in puppies, the trip to the vet’s office can.
Parvo is more treatable in unvaccinated puppies, especially over the age of 8 weeks. Vaccinating before that age is just as likely to not protect the puppy as it is to protect him.
The risk of Vaccine Induced Autoimmune Disease is greater than the risk of parvo.
The parvo vaccine has been linked to heart disease.
Vaccination suppresses the immune system for several days, increasing the puppy’s risk of developing disease.
Parvovirus vaccination can create a chronic form of the disease, the symptoms of which include chronic gastritis, hepatitis and pancreatitis, chronic diarrhea and food sensitivities.
The Parvo Nosode
It may be wise to avoid the unnecessary use of the distemper vaccine until it is proven not to be the cause of parvovirus in young puppies. The nosode is generally thought to be the most effective and safe manner of prevention by homeopathic vets. Due to the comparatively risk free nature of nosodes, they can be given at a very early age in susceptible dogs ie, 10 to 14 days old. “Experience in practice has shown that this Nosode has given consistently good results and no breakdowns have been reported”. (George Macleod) Christopher Day reported a single failure of the nosode in his vast experience in the field with this disease, and even that case, the disease was non fatal and mild.

I have dealt with both over the years also. But it really upsets me when they claim to care about your animal and then you find out they could care less as long as they can try and get you in there every month for some BS reason.

This latest experience has me wanting to get an attorney and sue the crap out of her for animal abuse and neglect just to make a buck. She does not belong in this profession. She made the Dog worse on purpose to rack up a bill that should not have been.

If it comes to that, settle. A lawyer will be far more experienced at lightening your wallet than any veterinarian could ever dream of being.

“What could possibly go wrong?”

Good timing! This was in the news tonight.

“Rabid dog prompts emergency vaccinations, quarantine at DC doggy day care”

http://wjla.com/news/local/rabid-dog-prompts-emergency-vaccinations-quarantine-at-doggy-day-care

The dog that came down with rabies had been vaccinated, which either means the vaccination didn’t take, or the vaccine was bad. The vaccination was given by a northern Virginia vet, so the VanShuytens are waiting to see if it’s a bad batch. If so, we’ll need to take our dogs in and get them tested.
