If your pet comes home looking like this, they have been over vaccinated.

The American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) has made several revisions to the Canine Vaccination Guidelines since they were first published in 2003. The latest guidelines include a full series of core vaccines for puppies followed by boosters one year later. After that the AAHA recommends healthy, adult dogs get boosters for core vaccines like distemper and canine parvovirus "at intervals of three years or longer."
"That was big going from annually to every three years, but the reality is maybe they can go longer than that," said Dr. Judi Keller with Sunflower Holistic Veterinary Care.
"The research is showing that most of these dogs are protected for five, seven years or longer," said Dr. Keller.

Rabies shots only for my dogs. Last one lived to 14, died in his sleep. Keep them active, outside, and walk them a lot.
Vaccines gave my feral cat autism. Positive for all of these warning signs:
-Avoiding eye contact
-Delayed speech and communication skills
-Reliance on rules and routines
-Being upset by relatively minor changes
-Unexpected reactions to sounds, tastes, sights, touch and smells
-Difficulty understanding people’s emotions
-Focusing on or becoming obsessed by a narrow range of interests or objects
-Engaging in repetitive behavior
But when he bites me, I want to make sure his rabies shots are current. I don’t want to risk ‘might be good’.

In my apartment complex, we are required to show proof of vaccination annually. I really hate doing that to my precious kitty who only goes outside if I’m with her. I suppose she could run into a squirrel or mouse with rabies, when she occasionally races toward them like the proverbial bat outta hell.
The vet offered me the three-year vaccination, but I will have to negotiate with management, which so far declines to accept it.
The rabies vaccine requirement in most cities is the most egregious affront. I’ve known of several incidences where incurable cancer was caused at the injection sites.
You afraid they are going to get the Autism?
Thimerosal.
So dogs are considered, but for people it’s still any time, any place, in any combination or any strength, under any circumstances, at any age.

“Delayed speech”
Well, no one wants a talkative cat.
If your pet comes home looking like this, they have been over vaccinated.
Stay away from Siamese, then. They’ll talk your ear off.
Vaccines result in diseases that create more vet bills.
My favorite cat got cancer & died with a large growth right where the vet injected his rabies shot (on shoulder). When I talked to the vet about it, he said that by then only gave rabies vaccines in the tail, so it can be cut off if cancer develops. It was a year of so later the cancer developed and took a while more to become noticeable.
The vet mentioned that vaccines every year may not be necessary, but no pet of mine will ever be vaccinated again. That near killed me.
I quit dogs after my last dog passed and my ex split the scene. Do I miss the pets? Yes I do.
Thanks for posting that...
I recently experienced a mishap when getting a pet vaccinated-as did a couple of my neighbors-one neighbor with their Bullmastiff puppy, and another neighbor and myself with our kittens-I was recently fostering an abandoned pet cat who had a litter of kittens for the for the animal welfare society-I told them I was keeping the runt-a pretty little black male-so I took him in as my pet-and when he was 9 weeks old, my vet said he should be vaccinated for everything under the sun, even though he is an indoor cat.
Since that vet has taken care of my pets for 10 years, I said okay-she apparently did not take into consideration that the little kitten didn’t even weigh 2 lbs, and gave him too much of something-he collapsed after we got home, and for 2 days he only drank water from an eye dropper and was too weak to get up, eat or meow-I was sure I was going to lose him, but he rallied, and has been fine since-needless to say, I changed vets and told the past one just why-she insists she did nothing wrong, but the neighbors also went to her and they told me their kitten and puppy collapsed the same way after their 1st vaccines-they changed vets, too. We assume that vet is trying to squeeze every penny she can out of pet owners-there are only a couple hundred people in this immediate area-not a large customer base-plus there is more money in treating large animals, and she does not treat livestock or or make farm calls...
The vet we go to now is a few miles further away, and also does farm calls to treat livestock-I had her neuter Merlyn-now sleek and healthy-last week and I asked her about her vaccine policy and recommendations-she was adamant about a kitten or puppy so young not being given all those vaccines-and that an indoor cat only needs maybe a rabies vaccine-her prices are about half what the other vet charges-but her customer base covers an area that has about 250 more people, too-all about the money I guess.
I’m glad to hear we are not all crazy rednecks out here for being hesitant about all those vaccines for our cats and dogs...
Sounds like a perfectly normal cat.
I don’t understand why you’d have to “negotiate” with management. 3-year rabies vaccines are normal almost everywhere......it’s LEGALLY good for THREE years. So show them the same record of vaccination each year for three years.
