Comments on Dog Flu Dead, No Thanks to Dog Flu Vaccine

My 5-month-old female Samoyed, Rose, died a few days ago. A week after receiving her second flu shot, she started vomiting. Then stopped eating. We took her to the vet, where we were told she might have leptospirosis. Her liver enzyme tests were off the chart. We took her to an emergency room where they stabilized her. A spot test for Lepto was negative. Two days, later, she apparently got a blood clot, and died. Do you have any numbers showing how many dogs get sick from the flu shot? Thank you.

I owned a large training, boarding, daycare and grooming facility in a very large city (over 4 million people in the metro area), I compete in dog sports and my daughter was a pro handler. I have yet to run across one single dog who has had the canine flu in all those years.

We live in a Chicago suburb in the midst of the ”flu epidemic.” We avoided other dogs on walks but continued to participate in classes as well as nose work and barn hunt trials where all of the competing dogs walk on and sniff the same areas. My dog did not get sick. I did not get the useless flu vaccine or the additional bordetella vaccine that was also pushed by some veterinarians.

Dr. Falconer,
Is there hope for dogs that have tested positive for heartworms? I have 4 rescue dogs that are in terrible shape. Need help!
Thank you!

Hello Dr Falconer,
Canine flu diagnosed in a 13 week old Pomeranian Toy puppy in St-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Qc (Can).
Puppy belongs to an aquaintance. She has had him 4 weeks.
Apparently he was coughing slightly 2 weeks ago because, again, apparently, the vet said this breed has trachea problems when they get excited which makes them cough...
But he still went ahead and gave him a Bordetella shot (along with all his other shots) last week. He's now in the midst of a very good cough, sneeze and nose discharge episode. The lady called the vet who gave her the canine equivalent of "Tempra" as she said and this week she went back and he is now on a 10-day round of antibiotics...
sigh...
Thanks for this info and the remedies!
Susan

I would love to share on Pinterest.

Just commenting on another part of this week's newsletter--thanks so much for the information on feeding the raw organ that correlates with the weak or diseased organ your dog might be experiencing. It's just as in Homeopathy where "Like cures like". Love how that works.
