Every vaccine manufactured comes with the instructions that it's to be given to healthy animals. To me, that means any disease or health problem an animal has disqualifies it as healthy so it shouldn't be vaccinated. Allergies, seizures, digestive issues, chronic conditions (lasting 6 mos or more), aggression, fear, hyperactivity...whatever it is, I'd ask a homeopathic vet about it and request a vaccine exemption. Our experience with conventional and holistic vet was a disaster; they know less about the immune system and healing than we do. I know vets who insists on vaccinating animals who have kidney disease, seizures, allergies, etc. Obviously, they don't understand what "healthy" means.

Any thing that makes your animal less than fully healthy. Itchy skin or ears? That's called allergies. Taking meds for a low thyroid? That's a disease. On a "prescription" diet? Why? Probably some reason there as well that would contraindicate further vaccinations.
I've written these letters in many different variations for my clients over the years and the bottom line is, there's always a way to phrase them to get acceptance. That said, it depends where you live and how far you've let the authorities get their hooks into you. It sounds like there's quite a variation among the folks who write in here.
