[SIDE EFFECTS] 11/13/2007: Dawn from Bisbee, Arizona writes: "I don't know if there's any character limit, so I'll try to keep this short.
GSD - developed chronic ear infections while after final puppy shots; developed masticatory muscle myositis, diagnosed 2 weeks post-rabies vaccination; treated allopathically.
Border Collie/GSD cross - SEVERE aggression for approx a month following each rabies shot; focal seizures; neurological dysfunction. Euthanized for unmanageable aggression.
GSD mix - severe fearfulness with some aggression following rabies booster. Being treated successfully with homeopathy.
Border Collie/Terrier cross - sudden onset of asthma and allergies within 2 weeks of rabies vaccination. Being treated with some degree of success with homeopathy.
If you need more information, please let me know. I'd love to help in any way I can as I think vaccines are one of the least studied medical procedures out there. WAY too little information about safety and efficacy."

[DEATH REPORTED] 10/24/2007: Tracey from Elizabeth, Colorado writes: "We had back to back horrible experiences with vaccinations. First we had a six year old yellow lab. Long story short, she went in for a series of shots including bordatella administered through her nose. She wasn't in a daycare or kennel yet caught kennel cough shortly after getting the vaccine. She never got better. We took her to specialists who kept telling us that there wasn't anything seriously wrong with her even when she was bleeding out of the same nostril the vaccine was administered. She died within two months. We contacted the maker of the vaccine and they sent us a check for $300 and made us sign a waiver. Two months after she died we got a German Shepherd puppy. At his three month visit he was given three vaccines at once. This was on a Friday. By Monday he was in intensive care from having multiple seizures. They ran every test in the book on him. They couldn't find anything wrong with him. They wanted to perform two final tests: an MRI on his brain and a spinal tap. I had had enough. I took him out of there and started researching on my own. They told me he would be on seizure meds for the rest of his life and that I would have to have his liver tested every six months for the rest of his life. I refused to listen to their advice. This all happened in September. Within six months he was completely fine and off the seizure meds. Here is what I did: I switched to a raw meat homemade diet, gave him immune boosting supplements and some herbal remedies. I gradually took him off the seizure meds. I didn't do it cold turkey. I will no longer give my dogs vaccinations and will never trust another vet 100% again. My Shepherd does have some allergies but they are mild. Listen to your instincts and don't take any vets word as the gospel. Most of them just want to take your money."

[SIDE EFFECTS] 06/18/2007: Carmen from Lawndale, California writes: "I adopted a 12 week old jack russell terrier in june 2006, as recommended by so many pet owners i immediately took her to a vet for an exam and shots. After the well puppy examination she was given all her shots but one, her rabies vaccine. Because of her age that one had to wait. After receiving har rabies shot within hours she started to vomit and shake. Once we got that under control she fell asleep. Within a few minutes she started having seizures they lasted all night. Upon calling the vet in the morning all they said was they'd note it in her file give her benedryl she'll be fine. If not bring her in. never again will my dog have another rabies shot until a blood serum test is given first. After some research I discovered that all dogs regardless of breed, size, or weight are given the same amount of rabies vaccine."

[DEATH REPORTED] 06/17/2007: Veronica from Greer, SC writes: "It's me again. The one with the husky/lab mix pups.They just turned 18 mo on Sat.We lost our male this past Mon. He hadn't had any seizures since April 23.Sun. he was having cluster seizures;about every 2-3 hrs. He was howling, barking, and whining after coming out of each one.That is the worst thing my family has ever gone through. My female will NEVER get another booster shot. When I took our male to the vet he said-ironically-this is the age when "epilepsy" shows its ugly head. Duh, this is when people give their dogs their boosters, because you tell us to. I've let everyone I know not to give boosters to their dogs.There is no sense that this wonderful young dog should have died or had to go through this. I truly feel for everyone who has lost a dog so soon after booster vaccinations. It's time to get mad and take action!"

[DEATH REPORTED] 05/26/2007: Michelle from New York, NY writes: "My dog, a female miniature pinscher, 12 years old, died last November from what I believe to be negative reactions from her vaccinations. I took her in on September 6th, and she received intratract II kennel cough vaccination and a 3-year rabies vaccination. Two weeks later, I came home from work and she was seizuring on the floor. She had NEVER had a seizure in her life. She was an otherwise healthy dog before these vaccinations. On November 12th, she passed away in my arms. The vets refuse to believe it was the vaccinations and say they believe it was a brain tumor, but I know better. Now that I know how harmful vaccinations are, I will never go through this again."
Replies06/18/2011: Diamond from Salisbury, Usa replies: "Michelle;I'm sorry to read about your little dog dying. I had pretty much the same problem, I got this most precious cat from a shelter, I had a strong gut feeling she had been experimented on many times, I brought her home and she was so happy, but she had problems eating an barely drank any water, I looked inside her mouth to see that the shelters vet had pulled all her teeth, I was devastated to make matters worse I chose to take her to the vet. To further examin her the vet. Told me she has absolutely no teeth and that she has man made cancer cells(lab tests) he said he would give her a pill to help her eat better and of course I had such false hope she would heal. When I got home I checked on the script. As well as the pill already given to her & it was a antihistamine which made her heart beat three times it's normal rate of speed also she would not eat or drink plus she didn't trust me because of all her previous experiments, hence she started vomitting then came the blood from her mouth, then she died in my arms, the vet. had the nerve to call me to see if she had died.I wrote a letter to the shelter and to the vet.
Here is one of many clippings about vets. being allowed to experiment on all or any animals.

[SIDE EFFECTS] 05/23/2007: Diane from East Lyme, CT writes: "Vaccination And Seizure with My Yorkshire Terrier: I have a 5 1/2 year old Yorkshire Terrier who is also paralyzed in her left hind leg due to FCE. She was scheduled to have a total hip replacement on May 21st , so I decided to have her vaccinated for rabies and kennel cough. That was on May 10th. Then about 10 days later she started to develop a very deep cough and also had a seizure. She never had any problems before this , except for a mild collapsing trachea. This was her first kennel cough vaccine and I'm beginning to think that the seizure and the cough was the result of the vaccinations. Anybody that might have had similar experiences would be appreciated."

[SIDE EFFECTS] 05/22/2007: Rich from Phoenix, Arizona writes: "My dog is 17 years and is a bichon mix. He waS NEVER VACCINATED. He was picked up by the pound and vaccinated when he escaped the yard. He now suffers seizures. We need to do something to stop dog pounds from causing dogs such problems."
Replies06/18/2011: Diamond from Salisbury, Usa replies: "Rich. from Az.I think we all should secure our animals & try our very best to keep them happy, exercise's often, but try to keep them well contained from the public's eye. Needless shots are being given to all animals. The government is doing their very best to get rid of all animals. Doctors are telling their patients they are allergic to their pets so millions of animals are being surrendered into shelters per day, severe lab experiments are being done to these shelter animals. I bought a shelter animal where it was almost dead when I got her but I wanted to give her;her last bit of freedom, I took her to the vet. in hopes he could extend her life longer but instead he gave her some thing to make her heart beat way too fast for her tiny frail body and she passed away in my arms.
Here is a website where vets. Are allowed to experiment with drugs on animals. Two websites:

[SIDE EFFECTS] 05/08/2007: Brandi from Garibaldi Highlands, British Columbia writes: "I have an American Eskimo that is 9 years old and recently went in for a bordatella vacination. This was his 9th year of the vacination but first in Canada. Within minutes of getting the vaccine he had his first seizure. It scared me to death and the doctor told me it was because my dog was over excited. This breed is always excited and not once have I ever had a problem with seizure before. The only difference from this vaccine and the others is that the doctor put on a muzzle so he was not allowed to sneeze. My other dog, whom got the same vaccine the same day, was allowed to sneeze as normal and nothing happened to him (same breed). I don't know if this has anything to do with this but it is a difference. Also the manufacturer of the medication could be different."

[SIDE EFFECTS] 04/25/2007: Veronica from Greer, SC writes: "It's me again. My male had another seizure on mon.I have done some more research and there is hope. If you look into epilepsy in dogs(this is the fallback "disease" the vets will tell you your dog has)on the web you will find one very helpful site. It gives some homeopathic options to rid the vaccines from their bodies along with some steroids. Also it seems a lot of breeds are more prone-my mix of husky & lab are both. Search the web and get all the info you can. Look into titer testing and waivers that keep your pets from ever being revaccinated because of the seizures. Educate everyone you know who has pets as to the side effects.The more people know the more we can speak up and stop the unnecessary hurting of our companions!"
Replies06/18/2011: Diamond from Salisbury, Usa replies: "Veronica from SC; You have done some great research. But I hope you are not planning on steroids for any animals? they are not even good for humans, most every man made med. Can not be processed by our bodies, if any thing it breaks down our immune system, animals immunity is even lower than humans. good luck."

[SIDE EFFECTS] 04/18/2007: Jill writes: "Hi; I was reading the information on your website about reactions from vaccinations. I took my 12 1/2 year old Border Collie to the vet yesterday and got her yearly shots. She had the Bordetella and Distemper/Hepatitis,parainf/parvo shots. That was at 10:55 am. At 5:30pm...she had the first of 3 seizures..all in the span of 30 minutes. She has never had a seizure before and I gave her 2 benadryl..to calm her.. She didn't have any more seizures. the rest of the night..and I took her to have a blood panel this morning. We are waiting for the results..probably by Monday. I think it was a reaction to the shots..what do you think? Sincerely, Jill"
Replies[SIDE EFFECTS] Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "Some vaccines tend to add mercury, aluminum or monosodium glutamate which causes long term neural disorder, and not just a reaction. Sometimes adding 10 cc of DMSO into one liter of drinking water helps detoxify the heavy metals and allows oxygen to reach the brain reducing the long term neural effects. A small amount of coriander mixed to the food (a couple of leaves) also help reduce the seizures and long term effect by removing heavy metals."

[SIDE EFFECTS] 04/16/2007: Veronica from Greer, SC writes: "On 4-7-07 I had my 2 husky/lab mixes' rabies and DHPP (whatever that is )boosters given. On 4-14 my male had his first seizure. It was absolutely horrifying! I am still upset. I took him to the vet that a.m.,and had a blood test(?) all seemed to be normal, so he suggested possible epilepsy. My mom-in-law does rescue and said one of hers gets seizures after her vaccine. So if this is the cause why must this be a law that we have to abide by? So we kill our kids with vaccines over the diseases and now we have to kill our pets too? I have recently declined to have my children given any further vaccinations and if there is anyway possible I want to do the same for my dogs. He is "different" whiny, hyper, doesn't seem to want to be alone, his personality is a little off. My female was at the vet on 4-13 and she was growling (not like her) at people. While there, I read in a dog magazine about a holistic vet that said that the vaccines given when puppies should last 7-15 years! So why this stupid law? From what I've read rabies is contracted more by bats than anything else. What's the chances of a dog being bitten by a bat and getting rabies? How do we get these ridiculous laws changed?"

[SIDE EFFECTS] 04/12/2007: chris from Escondido, California writes: "I have a five month old puppy. Her name is Starbuck. She is now having seizures.
Funny but when we first got her she was a jewel, smart, calm and everyday we were amazed at how wonderful a dog she was. As good dog owners we took her to get her shots. Everything started happening AFTER she started her shot series. First she was vaccinated against Parvo. One week after getting the shot, she contracted Parvo, we almost lost her not to mention the 2000,00 we paid to put her in the hospital. She was house bound to decrease the chances of getting Parvo. How she contracted is debatable i suspect it was the vaccines. She survived and of course we were thrilled. We bonded, trained her to do amazing tricks and welcomed her as a part of our family. She was house bound still at this point. All was well and to continue being the responsible dog owners we are, continued with her shots.. one week after receiving her third set of vaccinations, she began having seizures.
Now our sweet dog is having seizures on a weekly basis. I will not elaborate on how stressful and heart breaking as well as expensive this is but I completely understand all the emotions other dog owners are having when their pet goes through this.
We are now on the usual drugs which are not really working. She cant go out to play or anything that causes excitement. If she has too much fun she suffers from seizures when she goes to sleep. The seizures have become clusters mainly on the weekends.
They have not told us that because they happen in her sleep, that may be "significant". Translation: Now we have to go to a specialist. We cannot afford this and if the is what the vet tells us, we will have to make the decision to either give her away or have her put to sleep. THis is heart breaking to say the least.
I believe that these problems are caused by vaccinations. I am not a veterinarian, i am just looking at cause and effect.
Another reason I believe that vaccinations are the culprit is the experience i had with my ferret Duke. Duke was a healthy, fun loving house bound ferret, and being the responsible pet owners we are we took Duke to the vet to get his first series of shots. He had an immediate reaction to the shot and suffered an allergic reaction. One to two weeks after receiving his shots he began to get sick, no one could tell us why. I tried to save him, staying up nights, forcing food and everything else I could do to help him, but he just wasted away and after losing so much weight and suffering a seizure we had him put to sleep. They never determined the cause and we spent 3,000 on tests.
Shots are a necessary evil I understand but I also believe that they kill our animals, cause family members all sorts of heartbreak and drain our bank accounts. My only hope is that if we ever decide to bring another animal into our house we pray that they will survive the vaccinations."

[SIDE EFFECTS] 03/08/2007: Lorie from Charlotte, NC writes: "I definitely believe that the booster shots cause seizures in dogs. I had a Samoyed who received a rabies shot. She had gotten loose and was picked up by the dog warden. When I went to pick her up, they asked me if she had had her rabies vaccination. I said it had just expired about a month prior. They would not let me get her out unless she got her rabies shot, so I said ok. I had not gotten them their shots, because I had heard of the controversy of vaccinations and so I had held off so that I could do some research. But instead I had to let them administer it to her in order to get her out of the dog pound. About 2-3 weeks later she had her first seizure. I was scared to death because I had never seen anything like it. I started trying to figure out what could have caused it, and thinking over the recent events to try and come up with a reason for her to have had a seizure. The only thing I could figure is that she had just had the rabies shot. Since I am in the medical field, I went into work and looked up the rabies vaccination in the Physicians Desk Reference. Low and behold, right there in the "side effects" it states that it CAN CAUSE SEIZURES. After doing some research on the internet, I found other cases where dogs had had rabies shots and had started having seizures as well. Now, I know that in the US, dog owners are required by law to have rabies shots every year or two. So for those of you who don't know this, you can have what is called a "titer" drawn. It is a blood test to determine if your pet is still immune or not. If they are, they do not need the shot and you can use that for proof, if you ever have the authorities question you. When an animal is already immune to rabies, and they are given another shot, it overloads their nervous system, and that is what causes the seizures. I unfortunately had to learn this the hard way. My Samoyed has been dead now for 3 years. I still cry to this day over her. She was like one of my children and she should still be alive today. So I hope this helps others to prevent this from happening to their dearly loved pets."
Replies[DEATH REPORTED] 09/30/2010: Aly from Hendersonville, Tennessee Usa replies: "Thank you, I'm sure your information will help other parents. My Whippet died in my arms last week after having a seizure. In your research have you found rabies given one week, the next week parvo to cause seizures and death? It happened with 45 min, he was gone. He never had rabies since he was from the UK and they don't have it there. We brought him over with us last October, and since his passing I have not stopped crying."
12/09/2010: Linda from Queen Creek, Az replies: "I am very sorry for your loss... Somehow the manufacturers need to be monitored by the FDA or we will continue to lose our pets."

[SIDE EFFECTS] 03/04/2007: Lisa from Bastrop, Tx writes: "I have just read that epilepsy in dogs can be contributed to booster vaccinations. I have a terrier/border collie mix that I rescued from the pound in 1994. She was estimated to be 8 mos old. About 18 months later she began have epileptic seizures. I have moved a few times since then, but I will be going through my files to see if I have any medical records for her dating back to 1995. It would be interesting to see if she had received any shots close to the onset of the first seizure. She continues to have seizures at random and have become more severe over the years."

[SIDE EFFECTS] 02/21/2007: Deb from Watertown, MN writes: "There is some evidence that epilepsy in dogs can be caused by all the unnecessary booster vaccinations. Dogs usually start having seizures at 2 years old after their booster shots are given. Most vaccinations given puppies should last their lifetime. Check the internet for more detailed information on this subject.This I know is not a remedy but possibly a preventative."

[DEATH REPORTED] 01/26/2008: Kris from The Rabies Challenge Fund, www.RabiesChallengeFund writes: "My name is Kris Christine and my precious 6 year old yellow labrador retriever, Meadow, developed a malignant mast cell tumor directly on the site of his rabies shot 3 months after vaccination. After a long battle, he recently died when the cancer metasticized throughout his body.
In order to prevent dogs from being required by law to be redundantly vaccinated against rabies (1992 French challenge studies demonstrated a 5 year minimum duration of immunity and Dr. Ronald Schultz's serological studies from the University of Wisconsin proved 7 year minimum duration of immunity), I founded The Rabies Challenge Fund along with Dr. W. Jean Dodds.
Concurrent 5 and 7 year challenge studies, being conducted according to USDA vaccine licensing standards by Dr. Ronald Schultz, began at the University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine in November 2007. Veterinary vaccine manufacturers are not required by law to provide long-term duration of immunity studies in order to license their product, only studies that demonstrate that they confer immunity for the length of time indicated on the label. Thus, rabies vaccine manufacturers are allowed to license 3 year rabies vaccines as 1 year vaccines despite studies proving that the rabies vaccines confer a MINIMUM duration of immunity of 5 to 7 years.
For further information on the rabies vaccine and adverse reactions associated with it, please visit THE RABIES CHALLENGE FUND website at www.RabiesChallengeFund.org. Anyone wishing to have the 1992 French challenge studies or the 2003 Italian studies documenting fibrosarcomas at the presumed injection site of rabies vaccines in dogs, please e-mail me at ledgespring@lincoln.midcoast.com."

[SIDE EFFECTS] 01/15/2012: Renee G. from Lafayette, Louisiana writes: "I have a 2 1/2 year old female Bichon Frise. She had her yearly vaccinations yesterday, About 8 hours after the injections she gets a reaction of severe itching & diarrhea. She can't sit still at all. I have told my vet this before and they did not seem concerned at all. But she woke me at 2:00 am this morning and has not been able to sit still and I do not know how to help her. What can we do to calm her?"
Replies01/16/2012: Timh from Louisville, Usa replies: "Renee, I would give Bentonite clay mixed in water. If she won't drink, give by dropper or syringe to help clear any contaminants from the Vaccine. Sometimes the Vaccine can become outdated and could produce an infection, in which case a few drops H2O2 in her water bowl."
01/27/2012: Marianne from Berlin, Germany replies: "Dear Renee: First of all let me tell you that, of course, it is a reaction to the vaccine. If you know what is in it you would not even be surprised. So, please, read the following website: http://mythicaldanes.com/healthtraining/vaccsco.html. This should only be a start but do yourself and especially your pet a favour and research the dark side of vaccinations. By the way, that goes also for humans. Orthodox medicine cannot do a damn thing once the damage is done, but then they don't even recognize and admit that it is a vaccine damage. So you cannot expect any help from this side, as a matter of fact, most of the time they make matters worse. Look for a homoeopathic practitioner in your area who are able to help you and you hardly need a vet anymore. By the way, I am just going through the latest postings and this is already my forth letter to people that have a vaccine damaged pet all in the last 2 weeks. About time people start waking up.Good luck.
Good luck."

He seemed ok for a couple of days and then his appetite when downhill and his spark was gone... He stopped stalking the other cats and acting like the head honcho (His normal behavior). I observed him for a while, hoping things would change and fed him whatever I could get him to eat; chicken, tuna (I usually give him Innova Reduced Fat can in the a.m. And same thing at night, but the dry formula)... He never has trouble with meal time. He was drinking his water, but he still was not his usual spunky self. My vet was on vacation so I brought him to a new vet.(12/21/11)..he checked him out and said he appears fine, but he did have a 1 lb weight loss (in just 2 weeks! ... Maybe a scale difference?) He did observe what appeared to probably be a scratch above his eye(from one of my other kitties), he syringed a sample of the fluid and found nothing. I have the same concerns and bring him back on 12/21/11 the Dr. Does a full senior blood profile (including thyroid, just to cover ALL the bases. ) He also does a urine test.... He finds nothing at all. It is now 12/30/11 and I notice another spot of hair loss over his other eye.... Definitely not a scratch, completely bald, but with little prick marks on the skin??? My cat is not scratching constantly and is not being attacked by the other kitties. His appetite is still the same... I may get one meal of chicken or tuna into him a day and he will only eat off the floor and not out of his dish. He is NOT himself, but I am managing to keep him roughly fed & hydrated. It is now 1/1/12 the Vet is closed and I will be calling him first thing in the a.m. Do any of these combined symptoms sound familiar to anyone? I hope my cat is not getting Alopecia from having been to the Vet 3 times in the last month and getting blood & urine tests :-( I am suffering as long as my lil guy is suffering... Any advice would be welcomed, thanks!"

Diedre, please email me at carlalea(at)comcast.net. Thanks. My cat got very sick with high fever and almost 2 months later, she is still not the same cat as before the rabies vaccine on November 4."
01/05/2012: Bethlos from Hinckley, Il replies: "I don't know if this will help but my Alaskan Husky (now 12) had a severe reaction to a rabies shot two years ago. He was almost completely paralyzed in the hind end. This is an animal that was like an olympic athlete, pulling my husband on rollerblades in the summer and skiis in the winter. The vets were of no help and actually caused more harm in trying to treat his reaction to their shot. Anyway, I used homeopathic vaccinosis remedies (rus toxin?) and a product called transfer factor (bovine colosturm). I also used fulvic acid (?) to remove heavy metals from his system. I had started him on a raw diet several months prior to the shot and am told by alternative medicine types that this helped in his healing.I'm happy to report that he's active again. Not the athlete he once was, but he's older now too. The vaccine injury did age him a bit, but I'm delighted to have him (almost) back to his "old" self. I'm here on this site looking for an answer to an anal issue he's developed over the past month. I hope this helps you with your cat. I know how hard it is to go through this without the help of a "professional"."

12/13/2011: Cahira from Mason City, Iowa writes: "I would like to forward some of my education to you about yearly shots for pets. A dog or cat does not even need any shots after a year old. It is all part of the big pharma money game. It is something to think about, that if a pet needs these booster shots every 1 or 3 years either a) the shots are poor quality and aren't up to standards or b) it is for the money they bring every day of the year. Until the rest of the nation gets this education about their pets there are other options for the shots. Isn't it nice to know that big pharma has even pulled our pets into their game. I have been researching this for years. If anyone would like to contact me about what I know please feel free.

[DEATH REPORTED] 12/12/2011: Brian from North Providence, Rhode Island writes: "The vet gave my dog ( pitbull) 5 year old male a canine booster shot knowing that he was ill. He had a lung disease called canine influenza and she still gave my dog the booster shot. The next night he stood up, cried, and then dropped to his death. I am wondering if you know if I have any options or recourse with this vet. I feel they killed my dog."

[DEATH REPORTED] 12/12/2011: Ddbmom from Des Moines, Iowa writes: "My bordeaux received Rabies vaccine along with the 3 in one vaccine in Feb. of 2011. She was diagnosed with Lymphoma in Sept. of 2011 and passed away in Dec. of 2011. I believe that she should not have received these vaccines especially after a surgery that she had the same day as the vaccines were given. She was on a grain free dog food along with fresh meat and veggies and not subjected to any pesticides. I think that her immune system was not able to handle all of the toxins that was given to her that day. She was 4 1/2 years old."
