I always suspected the vet's overuse of shots couldn't be handled by the dog.
I'm so sorry you lost your pet. I hope the word gets out on this. People who care enough to get their pets vaccinated, will continue to take them in for care.
Medicines have been beneficial but I'm beginning to think not only our pets, but we humans, are being over medicated.
These vaccines are not controlled like those used for humans.
For years and years, we've been told that our cats needed FLV shots, but now we are told they are very dangerous.
And look at the following paragraph. It shows the motivation of many vets, I fear:
The news has been slow to reach consumers, partly because few veterinarians outside academic settings are embracing the concept. Vaccine makers haven't done the studies needed to change vaccine labels. Vets, who charge $30 to $60 for yearly shots, are loath to defy vaccine label instructions and lose an important source of revenue. In addition, they worry their patients won't fare as well without yearly exams. "I know some vets feel threatened because they think, `People won't come back to my office if I don't have the vaccine as a carrot,' " said Alice Wolf, a professor of small-animal medicine at Texas A&M and an advocate of reduced vaccinations. "A yearly exam is very important."
