Debra, 8 yrs ago, my hubby and I gave our 7 lb, 13 month old dog a 1/3 dose of a rabies vaccine. He was raw fed, never had drugs, chemicals or toxic anything in his life. That small dose changed him forever; he is afraid of everything. Before that vaccine, he was an amazing, confident dog that everyone wanted for their own. A breeder who met him told me he was the one of the best representatives of his breed she'd ever met. Gone is that confident, well-adjusted, awesome little guy. We'd give anything to go back in time and reserve it. We've done a great deal of research on this and are never again vaccinating any person or animal in our family. I can honestly tell you that my niece and nephew have never been vaccinated and they are incredibly healthy kids. The best way to find a truly natural vet is to go homeopathic like Dr. Falconer. I think you need one in your state to sign off on the rabies exemption. Dr. Falconer will know about that. If that's the case, it's certainly worth the drive and most of them won't make you bring your dog(s) into the office for every issue. We've done phone or email consults and it was 100% successful in every case.
