I have just come across the following info...thought I'd pass it on to those of you that much more knowledge than I. What do you think?
Canine Vaccines
Canine Vaccine Comments
Parvovirus Type 2
Vaccine virus sheds. Efficacy varies. Immunity persists for five years. Local, systemic, and
auto immune reactions. Post-vaccination diarrhea and vomiting are common. The vaccine is
immunosuppressive and may cause inflammatory bowel disease or auto-immune cardiomyopathy.
Administration with CDV vaccine may cause distemper.
Corona Virus Enteritis
Disease is rare, mild and self-limiting. Earlier vaccines were ineffective or extremely dangerous.
Newer vaccines cannot yet be accurately assessed. The nature of the disease does
not warrant vaccination.
Distemper
Vaccine efficacy is variable. When effective immunity may endure 3-5 years. Avoid vaccination
in conjunction with parvovirus infection, or with parvovirus or cornavirus vaccines. Vaccine
induced infection, rash, encephalitis, and encephalomyelitis may occur following
vaccination. Vaccine virus sheds in milk.
Infectious Canine Hepatitis
Infectious canine hepatitis is a rare disease. Vaccine can cause "blue eye" and, if administered
with the distemper vaccine, encephalitis.
Kennel Cough B. Bronchiseptica
& Parainfluenza
A mild disease. Viral shedding occurs longer for vaccinated dogs than unvaccinated dogs.
Vaccines can cause respiratory illness and anaphylactic reactions. Local reactions accompany
injectable vaccines. Inadvertent injection of nasal vaccine can result in liver failure
and tissue death.
Leptospirosis
Variable, serovar-specific, short duration immunity. Will not prevent infection or shedding.
Risk of anaphylaxsis.
Lyme Disease
Vaccine induces Lyme disease, autoimmune arthritis, seizures, and increases susceptibility
to the natural disease. Renders antibiotic treatment useless.
Rabies
Vaccine can induce the disease as well as rabies miasm, tumors, lesions, paralysis, lameness,
severe diarrhea, alopecia, skin problems, wasting, allergies, seizures, polyarthritis,
and more. Annual and triennial mandates are not supported by science.
