The scariest thing is someone might believe Char's insinuation that raw feeding confers no need for parvo/distemper/rabies shots. Fortunately there are enough sane folks on the topic to hopefully keep it straight. No, the scariest thing is you pretending you know anything at all about vaccine damage. Oh, and although I raw feed not all people who have found, through valid research, that vaccines cause harm, feed raw. It certainly does vastly improve health though and the number of people converting to a species appropriate diet is increasing daily. Do you think these studies are lies? Have you even bothered to read it? http://www.dogsadversereactions.com/...ineDamage.html |

Jabs are a no win situation and since there isn't always an immediate reaction to it there is rarely a connection made between that reaction and the vaccine. Getting one or two rabies shots isn't optional AFAIC. Especially for a cat who goes outside sometimes. Why not? Is the risk worth it? Have you read this? http://www.dogsadversereactions.com/...ineDamage.html "The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) Vaccine-Associated Feline Sarcoma Task Force initiated several studies to find out why 160,000 cats each year in the USA develop terminal cancer at their vaccine injection sites.(3) The fact that cats can get vaccine-induced cancer has been acknowledged by veterinary bodies around the world, and even the British Government acknowledged it through its Working Group charged with the task of looking into canine and feline vaccines(4) following pressure from Canine Health Concern. What do you imagine was the advice of the AVMA Task Force, veterinary bodies and governments? "Carry on vaccinating until we find out why vaccines are killing cats, and which cats are most likely to die." In America, in an attempt to mitigate the problem, they're vaccinating cats in the tail or leg so they can amputate when cancer appears. Great advice if it's not your cat amongst the hundreds of thousands on the "oops" list. But other species are okay - right? Wrong. In August 2003, the Journal of Veterinary Medicine carried an Italian study which showed that dogs also develop vaccine-induced cancers at their injection sites.(5) We already know that vaccine-site cancer is a possible sequel to human vaccines, too, since the Salk polio vaccine was said to carry a monkey retrovirus (from cultivating the vaccine on monkey organs) that produces inheritable cancer. The monkey retrovirus SV40 keeps turning up in human cancer sites." Do you not know that our pets can build immunity naturally and don't need them given artificially? As for the rest, I know all that. Good for you! Char buglady take out the dog before replying |

Indeed, Char thinks that raw feeding is the all-to-end-all, and if Char
can Prove that the dog with the enlarged heart developed same from vaccines, we can call her a scientist.... Which she ain't. Being an old bag, I well remember the days when puppies, and even a few adults, routinely died of distemper, or suffered the sequeli of the disease. And I also remember the awful few years between the emergence of parvo and the vaccine.... sweated that era out with my Dane, who stayed healthy, but certainly not due to raw feeding. Of course, the reasons that puppies die of parvo are 1.) that they were never vaccinated, 2.) that they were exposed before they were vaccinated and had time to develop antibodies, or 3.) that initial or first booster vaccinations were given before their bodies were mature enough to develop antibodies from the vaccine and they were exposed.... this being the reason that the final parvo shot is given at 16-20 weeks. The reason her dogs have fared well is NOT due to raw feeding, but due to the fact that she has lived in a community with a high proportion of vaccinated dogs..... community immunity. We are seeing a failure of community immunity internationally now with humans.... with measles.... due to failure to vaccinate. We still see it in some countries, due to failure to vaccinate for polio.... or due to failure to maintain a good level of vaccination for polio. I grew up in the era when that disease was devastating here in the US, and had a classmate who was braced to the waist and wore at least one wrist brace so he could use crutches. The bigger boys in the class had to lift Kenny up and down steps.... through all 12 grades.... because all of our schools were 2-storey. That was just in my class.... in a small town. There were others. Polio had a much higher attack rate in large cities, where people were more densely packed. I am not denying that vaccination has side effects; we are learning more about the periods of effectiveness. (I just needed to renew my tetanus, and was certainly not surprised to that my shot included whooping cough, since it's been found that vaccinated humans, and adults who have Had the disease (including me), are no longer assured of immunity and are carrying the disease..... with a huge increase in attack rate in infants.... California being the hardest hit.) In dogs, yes, the big research project is projecting an effective period for canine rabies immunity to at least 5 years.... but NOT "for life" at this time. I just don't see a vaccine side effect lurking behind every blade of grass because I see immunization as an acceptable risk. Reports in cats of local tumor development in repeatedly used injection sites for vaccines does raise considerable concern. An "easy" solution is to use more sites to see if rotation is the answer or merely disburses local tumor development. Then it's time to panic.... Jo Wolf Martinez, Georgia |

I don't have to be. Scientists have done that for me. I will post this link a third time for those who can't seem to read for comprehension. http://www.dogsadversereactions.com/...ineDamage.html "Dr Larry Glickman, who spearheaded the Purdue research into post-vaccination biochemical changes in dogs, wrote in a letter to Cavalier Spaniel breeder Bet Hargreaves: "Our ongoing studies of dogs show that following routine vaccination, there is a significant rise in the level of antibodies dogs produce against their own tissues. Some of these antibodies have been shown to target the thyroid gland, connective tissue such as that found in the valves of the heart, red blood cells, DNA, etc. I do believe that the heart conditions in Cavalier King Charles Spaniels could be the end result of repeated immunisations by vaccines containing tissue culture contaminants that cause a progressive immune response directed at connective tissue in the heart valves. The clinical manifestations would be more pronounced in dogs that have a genetic predisposition [although] the findings should be generally applicable to all dogs regardless of their breed." "Merck warns in its Manual that patients with, or from families with, B and/or T cell immunodeficiencies should not receive live-virus vaccines due to the risk of severe or fatal infection. Elsewhere, it lists features of B and T cell immunodeficiencies as food allergies, inhalant allergies, eczema, dermatitis, neurological deterioration and heart disease." Can you read that? Understand it? Why would I have to be a scientist to read about studies done by scientists? Char |

And about rabies..... I'm one of few nurses in the US who has cared
for a rabies patient, the human kind. Many years ago, when I was a nurses aide, actually. It was one of 2 cases in the US that year. Due to a dog bite.... an unvaccinated Owned stray. The man refused prophyllactic vaccination.... It is a horrible death that could have been prevented, twice. Even 52 years ago. I live in the second largest metro area in Georgia. We have family dogs attacked by rabid raccoons several times a year in our 6 county area of GA and SC. Most are in neighborhoods, not rural areas. 80% of those dogs are not current on their rabies vaccinations and are euthanized because their owners are neither willing nor able ($$$$) to have the dogs totally isolated for 6 months.... IF there was a facility offering this. I monitor a trio of communicable disease groups for medical/public health personnel.... human, veterinary and agricultural.... and read the US summary for rabies reports each month. Central Park in NYC has had a burst of rabid raccoons this year..... 2-3 years ago, a 6-8 week old Border Collie puppy bought at a flea market was taken to show-and-tell at the school of children of the family.... Days later it developed clinical rabies. Talk about a local public health panic! Justifiably. The pup SHOULD have still had immunity from the mother.... but didn't.... because the mom probably hadn't been vaccinated, and May have been/Probably Was infected herself. The other puppies sold that weekend were located and euthanized (all were rabies positive, although showing no clinical signs yet), but the mother and her owner were never identified. The fact that most cases of human rabies in the US are due to bites by rabid bats does not reduce the need to vaccinate pets. A few years ago ladies working in a huge office park in the Atlanta area had been feeding and playing with a kitten in the area.... until it attacked and bit someone who had the presence of mind to hold onto the kitten and take it to a vet. It was rabid. Another public health flap that was fully justfied. Yes, there was that teenager in the US (MN?) who survived rabies due to medical experimentation in a major teaching institution. The protocol used for her has not been successful in the few (2-3) cases where it has been tried in medical centers in other Western countries. There have been, IIRC, something like 4-5 known "natural" (unexplainable) survivals of clinical rabies in humans, worldwide, since the disease has been tracked. The international death rate is still around 36,000 or more per year..... India, China, and the vacation island of Bali and elsewhere in Indonesia, Russia and it's former satellites, and the Phillepine Islands are current hot spots, roughly in that order. A few years ago, a street dog imported to the US from Puerto Rico by one of the bleeding heart rescue groups to Massachusetts showed clinical signs of rabies within days of arrival, and one dog similarly imported from Iran for a GI has been rabid.

True. But she's never going to find evidence of that. There are some things that can cause an enlarged heart. Failure to protect against heartworms is one of them if the dog gets them. Cash had a narrow escape there. It's a bit abnormal but he's ok. His other issues are systemic from them but so far holding steady. Being an old bag, I well remember the days when puppies, and even a few adults, routinely died of distemper, or suffered the sequeli of the disease. And I also remember the awful few years between the emergence of parvo and the vaccine.... sweated that era out with my Dane, who stayed healthy, but certainly not due to raw feeding. When I was 6, on Xmas eve, a stray bit me just under the eye. I almost had to have the rabies preventive shots when they finally located the dog that a neighbor was hiding. It tested clean but was put down for biting (not just me, a few other kids too). There was no acceptance of dogs that bite and zero from the community that several kids almost had to have a dangerous preventive procedure. I far perfer the 'must have rabies shots' though I have no problem with reasonable rules on how often based in tests showing how often is enough. Aunti Mabel will have a 1 year booster in (June? I think that is it, they will let me know). Then it's a 3 year schedule. Of course, the reasons that puppies die of parvo are 1.) that they were never vaccinated, 2.) that they were exposed before they were vaccinated and had time to develop antibodies, or 3.) that initial or first booster vaccinations were given before their bodies were mature enough to develop antibodies from the vaccine and they were exposed.... this being the reason that the final parvo shot is given at 16-20 weeks. Yes. Because there was no evidence of previous shots for Cash, Daisy-chan (cat) or Mabel (rescues seldom have them), they all got the normal stuff. Cash got extra based on my specific area due to severe underweight making him more at risk but he's now on standard stuff. The reason her dogs have fared well is NOT due to raw feeding, but due to the fact that she has lived in a community with a high proportion of vaccinated dogs..... community immunity. Exactly. She's not aware of this though. Her dogs just are not being exposed to much because most other owners are taking care of it. We are seeing a failure of community immunity internationally now with humans.... with measles.... due to failure to vaccinate. We still see it in some countries, due to failure to vaccinate for polio.... or due to failure to maintain a good level of vaccination for polio. I grew up in the era when that disease was devastating here in the US, and had a classmate who was braced to the waist and wore at least one wrist brace so he could use crutches.

There were others. Polio had a much higher attack rate in large cities, where people were more densely packed. Sad, I hope that doesnt come back. We are seeing it in the USA again due to illegal immigrants. One of the cases where giving the kids free shots protects our own. I am not denying that vaccination has side effects; we are learning more about the periods of effectiveness. (I just needed to renew my tetanus, and was certainly not surprised to that my shot included whooping cough, since it's been found that vaccinated humans, and adults who have Had the disease (including me), are no longer assured of immunity and are carrying the disease..... with a huge increase in attack rate in infants....

I just don't see a vaccine side effect lurking behind every blade of grass because I see immunization as an acceptable risk. I've had so many as a military member, I just find it sane. The anthrax set is not fun, but i was in an area and time where it was needed. Reports in cats of local tumor development in repeatedly used injection sites for vaccines does raise considerable concern. An "easy" solution is to use more sites to see if rotation is the answer or merely disburses local tumor development. Then it's time to panic.... Grin, my vet tracks injection sites. he can bring up a little picture of all that have been used. LOL with me over the 'cat-scan'! |

Sometimes vaccines can negate previous immunity, causing a lack of protection yet vets and shelters and rescues don't seem to understand this and want to give "boosters" which don't boost anything at all. |

You take a speculative article as gospel? You advocate no vaccinations and raw feeding as the answer. You then post sites that advocate same as if 'it's on the internet, it must be true'. Frankly any of us can post 100 sites that disagree but there's no point. Those are the ones who don't support your opinion so you don't post them. While over vaccination isnt the key, neither is lack of it as you espouse. |

There are several levels of 'wrong' in your post. 1- it isnt related to Jo's post which is an outbreak due to LACK of vaccination. IE the dogs didn't die from vaccination of Parvo and distempter, but LACK of vaccination for them. 2- Shelters and rescues have no history on the dogs (or cats) most of them time. They are found as STRAYS and because of the high prevalance of irresponsible owners who do not vaccinate, must be presumed to never have had any. 3- Shelters and rescues operate on a shoestring budget to handle as many as possible. They do the state mandated vaccinations but as they are often taking in sick pets, it takes a bit and outbreaks can occur among the non-vaccinated. 4- Just like with humans, an extra vaccination may not be needed, but it never removes immunity. T-cells do not work that way. |

I esacped the shots by a mere 1 day. Mom and the Docs had me all prepped up that they would hurt and make me really sick. All this while the advent of plastic surgery was being done on my face (that worked well, you have to hunt to find the scars). It's still out there in the wild though.
