Comments on My Dog is Due for His Shots! NOT.

I just vaccinated 7 of my 5 week old kittens according to our organization's policy - 24 hrs later, 1 kitten is dead and 2 are showing an URI. Vet recommended we wait at least 7 weeks minimum. I feel 8 weeks is sufficient and the adopters should do the vaccines AFTER adoption for the balance if they wish to continue - it was heartbreaking. Meanwhile, I vaccinated my puppies up through their 1st year and have stopped except for the required rabies. Still get ear infections in 1 dog - what to do?

There's a problem with the lnik in the above article (https://vitalanimal.com/vacc-efficacy.htm) - it is not found.

One of my dogs had a horrible allergic reaction to his rabies shot, so I stopped letting him get it years ago. Since he has had osteosarcoma of the jaw and had 1/2 of it removed. He's 3 years cancer free and 13 years old. He hasn't had vaccines in over ten years, but he eats healthy and is an inside dog. I appreciate this article and the confirmation I've thought for years about heartworms/meds.

What's alarming- is that I found out that several rescue organizations state that potential animal adopters MUST state unequivocally that they will get their dog their annual vaccinations and say they will verify vaccination- as well as heartworm meds status- with their vet. I guess anyone who wants to adopt who knows anything about vaccinosis, etc. would not be approved by these particular rescues- and there were quite a FEW of them. So I guess only those sheep who mindlessly go along with the annual shots malarkey get to adopt these dogs- who then get sick.
Immunity from disease, once vaccinated, lasts a lot longer than MDs and conventional vets would have us believe.

Thanks a lot for this article. Since I have been researching natural pet care, I have come across many opinions that vaccinations are not what they are cracked up to be (in a nutshell). This article spells it out and will share this info!

With proper prescribing it will eventually go away, but remember, it's a chronic symptom, so it won't disappear quickly -- long time there, often half that amount of time to cure something chronic. And yes, don't be shy about working by telephone with a certified vet homeopath. We do this long distance quite often. The key is you know your animal, so you can describe symptoms with a bit of coaching. Good luck, Cassi.

Incidentally, I looked up your list and all are long distance - I can set up a phone consultation if you recommend for this issue. thanks!

I'm ashamed to admit that even though I have paid a lot of attention to giving my dog a healthy diet (raw with no-grain kibble) I've been giving her Angels Eyes for a long time to keep the tear stains away. The last time i tried to wean her off, she not only got tear stains, but also staining around her mouth and vulva (white coat in these areas). I was surprised because I thought I had her on a great diet...so I started her on the Angels Eyes again (currently at 1/2 tsp once/week). After reading your website and ebook, I realize I need to end this once and for all. I am stopping her flea meds (comfortis) and starting your natural methods and products as well as switching to the flint river kibble & treats. Is there anything I'm missing, and should I expect some staining temporarily?

Sadly, this same idea is being said for our small children. I refuse to give in to the fear tactics that toxins from a needle is necessary for my child's and family's health. Breastfeeding and natural basics do.
Great post!

Nice piece, Will. Sadly, I know a lot of people who trust the medical profession so much, they are ruining their health taking drugs with questionable benefit and potentially damaging side effects (statins.) They'd for sure get vaccinated annually if their doctor said so.
