Thank you for that link. I read Dr. Goldstein's book when my Chuck was first diagnosed with LP. I wish I was within a hour of traveling to him. There are 2 holistic vets about 45-60 minute drive of me. I love my vet of 25+ years who respectfully agrees to disagree with me about my anti-vaccination stance as she knows I've done my reading, except for rabies. She has already said that she will not do an exemption in the absence of actual disease. I stay with her as she is generous in speutering the rescue dogs at a very reduced rate. Vaccines and food (SciDie) is what we have to agree to disagree on. Thankfully, my dog has only gone once/year for his physical exam in the 2 years I've had him. If she is not retired by the time he is due in 2017, I will have to leave for the exemption as I am NOT going to vaccinate Shay again unless his titer shows his immunity is too low. He is 3 and has been vaccinated twice that I know. Very interesting discussion, folks.
My niece is getting a Great Dane/Mastiff puppy and she just sent me the contract for my review. I was sooo happy to see that the contract calls for titers and vaccinations according to Dr. Dodds' protocol!! She also advocates a raw diet. I wish more people were so conscientious with their adoptions.
