I realized this was written in 2013, we are now past July 2018, six years since you wrote it is malpractice to vaccinate a sick dog. I belong to more than 20 groups in FB and I see this more often that you would like. A sick dog or a dog who had a reactions in the past given vaccines using Benadryl, it is so upsetting. Just a couple of days ago a two years old dog die. Poster didn’t say it was autoimmune hemolytic anemia, but I suspect it was, she posted he needed a blood transfusion or he would die. Her original post was asking for help, dog wasn’t doing well after rabies vaccine, the veterinarian had given a rabies vaccine with Benadryl knowing pretty well that the previous year he has had a reaction, you heard correctly the previous year, never mind rabies vaccine is required every 3 years by law. And on top of this she has given DHPP 2 weeks prior to the rabies shot. Again never mind you don’t need to keep repeating these only one will give immunity if you are going to give any at all. This happened here in USA in ILLINOIS. It is outrageous, that veterinarian IMO deserves her license taken away from her. There are numerous cases I see veterinarians vaccinating unhealthy animals and this malpractice keeping going on
