Pam answered well. It all comes down to finding a sympathetic vet that understands the vaccination of sick animals is malpractice. Those vets are usually holistic or, better yet, homeopathic ones, but some of the older vets may understand and grant leniency as well.
They know we never vac'd repeatedly throughout an animal's life, and many will recognize vaccinating a sick animal is just plain bad medicine.
Because your dog already has health issues I would think that in itself would make the vaccine contraindicated. According to Dr. Falconer, the vaccine label itself says it's only for healthy animals. I would search for an integrative or holistic vet in your area that would be open minded to your dog's situation. I would be interested to hear Dr. Falconer's thoughts, too, regarding your question!
