[SIDE EFFECTS] 03/23/2011: Jendark from Lincoln, United Kingdom writes: "I recently had 9 puppies vaccinated at 9 weeks old and within 2 weeks they all had severe bloody diarrhea. While in the vets a gentleman over heard my conversation and said he had his dogs booster done a couple of weeks previous and that she also had the same problem, then a friend had had her dogs booster done and again the same thing... Now one of the pups was diagnosed with giardia as was my friends dog, its seems too much of a coincidence that they all had vaccinations 2 weeks prior to all having severe diarrhea ( they were all fit and well before receiving the vacs) now I have been told that it is not possible to get giardia through the vaccine and it has to be ingested. Just all seems too coincidental to me... pups were labs, the guy in the vets was a lab cross and my friends dog is a parsons russell..."

[SIDE EFFECTS] 03/22/2011: Curvee from Port Saint Lucie, Florida writes: "My dog is a Chihuahua mix with Pomeranian. He had some lethargy and fever the next day after recieving his shots. However, he has had diarrhea for the past six days. It is very hard watching him feel like this."
Replies03/25/2011: Diamond from Salisbury, Ma.usa replies: "Curvee; Your dog may get dehydrated if he/she has diarrhea much longer, try giving your dog rice, chicken, cooked veggie, I make my food for my pets fresh especially when they are sick, the rice will absorb any impurities in the tummy and other ingredients is the nutrition your dog needs because the loss of it. Good luck."

[DEATH REPORTED] 03/10/2011: 5 Pooches Home from Houston, Tx writes: "My chi died of vaccination side effects. It was obvious since the day she got vaccinated that something was wrong. She was vaccinated near her heart and NOT amazingly after that moment everytime I touched or picked her up she would cry or yell. I couldn't understand at first. I thought it wud go away. But nope it stayed like a dadly parasite lurking on my baby's body and waiting to finish her off. Finally 5 months later she had respiratory problem one night and then I got her X-Rayed and her heart was enlarged! I cried at the vet office. Then we did EKG and nothing (According to the other vet) was wrong but slightly abnormal. 1.5 months later her health deteriorated and she started losing weight despite good diet and she passed away after a slight stroke.
Plz. note that she had NO health problems until this vaccination. I shouldn't have got her vaccinated coz I know she would be alive today otherwise. She was my heart and soul and I clearly let her down and contributed to her death - killing her. So PLEASE other dog owners, once ur dog is vaccinated 1st year, NO NEED to revaccinate them.
I had adopted her from a shelter and she was with me for almost 5 yrs. In these 5 yrs, I gave her complete holistic care with 100% vegetarian homemade food and she thrived on it. Before when I adopted her her hair wud fall but not anymore. She ate lots of fruits and fresh veggies each day but its sad to say that of all things my stupidity and me going against my instinct and vaccinating her killed her. So plz. everyone as dog owners and dog lovers, say NO TO VACCINATIONS."

She was quite ill with bronchial pneumonia when I got her on January 9th 2011 so her vaccines were delayed a bit... On Jan 30th she was given rabies vacine... No reaction... On feb 8th she received her first injection of CDV-CPV A2 ped vaccine.. With no reaction ...
But today feb 28th upon getting the last of her shots which was CDV- A2 Adult vaccine she had a very bad reaction Within 30 minutes I had to run back to the vet office with her... Her eyes blew up like swollen little golf balls with bright red rings.. It was horrific.... The vet administered benadrly as well as steroids and kept her at the office for observation. I don't know if I will be able to bring her home later today as I was advsied to call back at 5:30 to check her progress. Please advise me on what steps I should take... The vet said the vaccine was from the same lot given earlier in teh month... But I am so hesitant to repeat any vaccines ever again. Who Do I report this reaction to ? I m a nurse and if this was a human reaction I know who to call.. But not fir a canine... So please advise Thanks Maggie"

02/22/2011: Citipearl from New York, Ny writes: "I just took my two shih tzus in for shots -- they are 8 1/2 years old and have had these before. However, this time, within an hour of coming home, they were both lethargic. As the day progressed, they had fevers, were sensitive to the touch (even in places away from the site of the shots), had no appetites, and continued to be tired. Two days later, they seemed to perk up a bit. However, I am still concerned that there might longer term problems. The vet said I could bring the dogs back in -- I didn't want to do it in freezing weather if the dogs seemed to be getting better but now I'm concerned. Advice anyone?"

02/06/2011: Terri from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada writes: "Thank you so much for this site and for everyone sharing their stories. I wish I had of found you 5 years ago. Maybe my 12 year old dog would not be suffering so much now. I am going to try the Apple Cider Vinegar and yogurt. Just finished to bouts of antibiotics for paws and then for her ears. It is worse than ever before now. Hives are showing up on her snout below her nose and around her eyes. Paws and ears are raw. She had an allergic reaction about 6 years ago after getting her shots. I suspected it was the shots. I have renewed hope. Thank you all so much. I will let you know how it goes for her."

01/31/2011: Maple65 from Vancouver, Bc, Canada writes: "It is with a heavy heart I post the following
We took our 1 year old Persian this morning for castration as we had no history of his as he was left on our door step, we asked the vet to give him the necessary vacinations like rabies, feline Leukemia and others.
The vet was asked by me if it was Ok if he had all these together on one go and she said they do it all the time-They also did his blood test for FL and it was negative Besides the vaccinations and surgery, they also gave him a de-worming tablet, an antibiotic a painkiller- We picked him up later in the evening and he seemed Ok . He ate his food and then after 1/2 hr. He started licking his scrotum, we made him desist and then he suddenly started bleeding heavily, so we thought it was due to the surgery. We called the vet and he said bring him in immediately We rushed him and the vet said he will check him and then after taking him into surgery , they gave him gas as he had eaten food, and that the sutures which were internal were fine, then the doc said it was because his blood had thinned down and he was going to do a blood count-and said that the blood had most probably gone to his lungs.
He said that it was the medications possibily
After he finished he said well there's 40% chance as he's serious and his breathing is labored as he suspected he may be bleeding elsewhere too, but to keep him at the vets and they would monitor him. The vet said his color and gums are pink and healthy lokiing but he was to be monitored through the night
The vet also told us that if he survives the night, the next day he may have blood in his stools , maybe dark or fresh and he would have bruises over his body.
An hour after he called us and said he was awake and breathing normally
What I want to know is, Can all these vacinations surgery be done all at the same time?maybe he could not take all the different medications like the vaccinations, de-worming when they checked his ears inside there were ear mites and the ears were cleaned out some external drops was applied on his skin between the shoulders
Could not all this be the reason for his blood thinning and not clotting ?
I hope and pray that he comes thru and we get our baby of 10 days back- He has brought so many smiles in our lives. Feed back will be appreciated-thanks"
02/11/2011: Maple65 from Vancouver, Bc, Canada replies: "To all who read the above post-By the grace of God, Bianco survived the ordeal-and is back home and doing well-It was quite a trauma but are happy that all ended well for our little guy"

01/01/2011: Dls from Fairfax, Va writes: "Heartworm medication and vaccination reaction following head injury of Cairn Terrier.
Two and a half years ago our cairn terrier was hit in the head by a closing recliner chair. Since then the left side of his head has paralysis including the inability to move his left ear, difficulty closing his eye ( no vision problem) and unable to close the left side of his mouth completely. Since that injury he has had episodes of neurological symptoms including falling over with his legs flail and cries out lasting approximately 1 minute, occurring 1-3 days following the administration of his monthly dose of interceptor.
On December 1st 2010 I took him to the vet for his rabies vaccination and the vet recommended he also have a Lyme vaccination which I agreed with. Following these vaccinations, his appetite decreased and he has increased thirst and noted weight loss. He is less active with many periods of sleepiness. Approximately 3 weeks following the vaccination and two days after giving him his heart-worm medication interceptor, the neurological episodes started and were much worse than ever before occurring 1-2 times a day and for approximately 5 days. He hasn't had any further episodes over the past 3 days but he is much less active and has had loss of bladder several times.
Our dog continues to play chasing thrown objects but tires much quicker than normal then lies down and sleeps for a couple of hours. I am at the point that I feel our dog is reacting to his heart worm medication and his vaccinations."

[WARNING!] 12/24/2010: Maca from Lj, Slovenia writes: "My 3 years old Boston terrier got a booster shot of Vanguard 7 yesterday at noon. Within 1 hour he got small and big lumps all over his body and his face started swelling. He was very itchy and restless. Immediately took him back to vet for a antidote shot. His face swellings set back to minimum within 20 mins, back at home he was throwing up (it contained a little of blood)and drinking lot of water, the lumps did not disappear until late at night. He could barely walk, couldn't lye for more than few mins, most of the time he was just standing still and starring. He was still very latergic in the morning, but at least he was now able to have some sleep and rest. In the evening he got some appetite back, still has a swelling under his chin and is still far away from a playful dog he used to be. I'm afraid of possible side affects in the future... I will never ever vaccine my beloved animals again! "

[SIDE EFFECTS] 12/17/2010: Gill from Southampton, Uk writes: "Rusty is our 14 year old Labrador/Cross dog who has annually received his booster vaccination. For the past four years we have put his bouts of lassitude down to old age but eventually realized that the weeks of lethargy were a result of the vaccination of Novibac Lepto 2 and Novibac DHPPi. We were devastated to think we'd been making him suffer. Our decision to cease the injections means he will not be accepted in kennels therefore we cannot travel abroad. However Rusty loves the campervan so we enjoy our holidays exploring the UK."

[SIDE EFFECTS] 12/15/2010: Sheila from Carver, Massachusetts writes: "My 4 month old female GSD puppy had the rest of her vaccinations last week, started having neurological symptoms yesterday, but all labs are normal. She has not eaten anything unusual, and is having ataxia, not lethargic, eating food, but definately calmer than normal, maybe she is frightened of inability to walk straight?
The vaccinations she received are as follows:11/04/10, Lyme, Lepto, Rabies, Dhhp, no symptoms after those at all. 12/06/10, Lyme, Lepto, DHHP, hasn't had her HW prevention as of yet this month. She was given a total of 3 sets of vaccinations in the last 2 months. I've never had this happen before, maybe a little bit of allergic rxn but with benadryl and prednisone, 1 dose of each, it went away, none with this dog. I'm baffled because nothing else can be found. Please let me know; Rabies vaccine from Fort Dodge."

stomach and parts of her front and back leg (on the same side)-which is on her right side. Her left side (including front and back leg) are not effected. She is beginning to lose weight too. She has been to the vet twice for this and no one has any idea what is wrong with her and state that vaccinations don't cause skin reactions - but they have twice with her. Now I
don't know what to do - except NEVER WILL I HAVE HER VACCINATED FOR ANYTHING AGAIN."

11/16/2010: Mitchells' Mummy from Bedford, United Kingdom writes: "My 11 week old puppy, Mitchell, had the 2nd dose of his puppy injection last week, the next day he appeared "odd" and over the next couple of days he changed from being our family playful puppy, to a zombie like state, with eyes glazed, head held down and pacing a circuit around the edge of the room - bumping into objects, then standing still with no reactions to anything. It was horrific and extremely distressing, he seemed to perk up and the next morning seemed playful and chasing his toys etc. Then by lunchtime, he went back into this vegetative state, so we took him to the vets, telling them he didnt seem right since his injection. The vets said that they hadnt seen anything like it, by this time he was dribbling, and slumping down. He was admitted immediately and had blood tests, which came back normal - his Nuerological tests showed that he had neck ache and loss of vision in one eye. And a suspected bad headache.
I searched internet, and mentioned to the vet that it has been reported that these can be symptoms of Canine Distemper and considering he had been shot with a dose of the live vaccine, surely this was an extreme adverse reaction to his injection. The Vets agreed and started him on antibiotics and painkillers, after contacting the vacine company - Pfizer, they agreed to cover initial investigations and treatments. Later yesterday evening he was no better and the vets called thinking he may need to be transferred to a specialists vets, who require a £1000 - £2000 fee UPFRONT. And the vaccine company would NOT pay this......... So if he doesnt improve, the decision would be down to us, whether or not we pay the money, for treatment, that may not help him, or have him put to sleep. I am livid and distraught, as at NO time was I informed of the risks to these standard injections (I was told he may seem a little tired and may get a lump at the injection site)
With Kids injections (MMR) you are told of the risks, can make an informed decision and then you are given a leaflet stating side effects of the injections and what to do if you notice this. Surely this is something that vets should be doing, I feel guilty that I didnt get Mitchell to the vets sooner and he had to endure 3 days in and out of pain. I have no idea if he gets better, how it will effect his long term health, does he now have mental issues ? Has anyone else experienced problems like these ? Are vets warning of the possible side effects ????"
Replies[DEATH REPORTED] 12/09/2010: Linda from Queen Creek, Az replies: "Michelle, we recently experienced the same thing with our 15 week old pup. When he received his second set of shots he was feeling well and was not eating a lot. Then about 3 weeks later he was better; and had put on 4 pounds. Our vet gave his third set of shots and then took blood and xrays of his hips because he was limping. The blood came back that his rbcs were low and wbcs high; so they put him on an antibotic.Another week went by and I took him back to the vet to have a recheck on his blood work and he was back to being not perky, just laying around, could barely walk and I was feeding him daily with a spoon; but at least he got food in him. He was drinking and moving his bowels; which were soft. Our vet then put him on predinsone to kick up his rbcs and increase his appetite; but instead had the reverse effect, he didn't want to eat. The Predinsone did help increase his rbcs from the previous blood work and his wbcs went back to normal but then all of sudden his platletts drop; that was why she put him on predinsone.
Another week went by and he was no better, we finally took him into the vet again because on Saturday 12/4/10 I took him out and he did his potty and then fell over. I picked him up and call the vet right away. When we got to the vet she said, OMG he has a fever of 104.6 we need to put him on ice to get his temp down then she said, I am sorry but he will not make it through Sunday, we said what? What is wrong and she said, I have no idea, our little man was in pain when you touched him all of a sudden. We were then told she recommended we put him down to avoid his suffering.
We are still overwhelmed with this whole situation and still no answers. We paid $1200.00 US money to make him better and he died. I believe it was from his last set of vaccines that put his immune system in a spinal downturn. No one wants to be responsible, we CANNOT bring him back; but we did everything that we were told to do by the vet and we need closure as to why. Good luck on your journey of trying to find out, I wrote the manufacturer Merck; but I really am not expecting to hear back. Our little boy should have NOT died! Best of luck"
EC: So very sorry to hear of your loss. May you find healing on your journey.

11/15/2010: Margaret from Beavercreek, Ohio writes: "Yearly vaccinations of pekingese resulted in back legs becoming paralyzed. She received DHLP/Parvo, Corona, Bordetella, and 2 year Rabies vaccinations. The vet gave them in the rear legs and now those legs are paralyzed. Some mobility coming back after one week, but still unable to move for more than a few feet and her movements are all over the place. She cannot control her back legs and becomes very frustrated and tired when trying. I only let her try when she is carried out to the grass to relieve herself. This is a dog that used to walk everyday with her big dog friends. It is very sad. Her vet is claiming that he did nothing wrong."

[SIDE EFFECTS] 10/21/2010: Ted from Hampstead, Md writes: "About 7 hours ago both our Lhasa Apso's received the second shot of Lyme's vaccine. About 4 hours later the smaller of the two (he weighs 10 lbs.) began acting like he didn't want to move, he was shaking, no appetite, and was acting very scared. We contacted an emergency vet and they said they could not determine if there was something else going on with the dog without examining him. Prior to the vaccine the dog was fine. In researching the vaccine we found the dogs could suffer all the symptoms of Lyme. Our other Lasa who weighs 20 lbs. is showing signs of being tired and no appetite. We are concerned that they will be suffering with these symptoms for a long time had we know this we would not have gotten the vaccine. Our vet did not tell us what to expect, he told us he felt the vaccine was perfectly safe."

10/18/2010: Rebecca from Rockford, Illinois writes: "Two years ago in November, I took my cat in to get her boosters and rabies shot. I had almost lost her in May due to a vet giving her two shots of Metacam. She was hospitalized for two weeks and barely made it. My vet insisted she needed the shots because she goes outside for about an hour or two a day. Three to four hours after vaccinations, she started getting cranky with me and other cat. I had to hand feed her water and food for a day and a half. She came round, but I will never vaccinate her again for anything. My vet says I am risking her life, but with her history of kidney failure, I just can't chance her refusing to eat and drink."

Four days later she slowly started becoming paralyzed. She was diagnosed with Coonhound Paralysis. At one point she couldn't move anything, and could barely lift her head.

[DEATH REPORTED] 08/21/2010: Fredah from Ham Lake, Mn writes: "I had a 8 year old sheltie. She had continuous ear infections that were treated with steroids and antibiotics which made her comfortable for a week or two but the swelling, redness and pus from her ears never went away. The vet finally talked us into her having a ear canal ablation (removal of the ear drum) on her right ear. She was doing better and on her two week post surgery check up the vet gave the yearly shots to her. Two days later she was admitted to the University of MN hospital, placed in an oxygen kennel, IV's, and died 4 days later. She should never have received shots when her immune system was healing... The shots killed her. I currently have two shelties, they eat a raw diet, and only received their first baby shots. They will not get shots unless a titer test is done and the results are that it is necessary. I have read a comparison that by giving animals their yearly shots it is like giving humans their shots that are given their first year of life every year. It's sad to think that by trying to provide the best care for our fur babies we are slowly killing."
Replies12/17/2010: Sue from Hillsboro, Missouri replies: "Vaccines are bad period, and all these symptoms in animals, from infected ears, to itchy skin, to cancer, whatever, are ALL caused by vaccines. Yes, there are a few genetic type of diseases that can occur, but for the most part, ALL from vaccines. The older the dog gets, if they are lucky enough to NOT get cancer or another ailment that kills them, the worst the chronic vaccinosis issue is. Only a "true" Classical Homeopath can undo this damage.Last 3 dogs I had, one died from cancer and the other two we put down back to back, 9 hours apart, one from renal failure, the other from bloat. This is just simply crapola that the big Pharma is not only benefiting from killing people, but animals as well. I know someone who was a Vet Tech and in this field for 30 years and she said, it's ALL about the money and 50-70% of a Vets income is vaccines, the rest of course we know, is from treating the chronic disease the animals get. I cringe every time I hear someone say they took their animals to the Vet for their jabs, I cringe when I hear Mothers say they are taking their babies to get all those many jabs they get practically out of the womb.
I have two other dogs now, one Blue Heeler and the other a mix of heeler and possible Blue tick hound. Yes, they had jabs, because they were rescues, but they have not had any jabs, no heart worm pills, no flea or tick treatments in years now. We also feed them the raw diet, yes, raw, which is the species appropriate diet, we all have one, you know. : - ) Do they have vaccinosis symptoms? You bet, because all it takes to start the chronic disease is one jab but I will never give them any more. We don't board them, they are always at home and given the best of care. They don't get ticks or fleas and one is almost 8 and can jump 6 ft in the air to nab a frisbee, the other one, about 6, the heeler, is full of energy too. The female, over the last few years, has suddenly developed a fear of noises and such.
Vaccines damage the myelin(sp)sheath in the brain, which is what has caused this. My hope is that I am able to get them treatment from a Classical Homeopath one day, but if I don't, they are still happy dogs and very well taken care of. I am also one who had inflammatory breast cancer and beat it, without Chemo or drugs of any kind. You gotta look to God, he's the healer, and he healed me, then showed me how to keep the healing. God also gave us an immune system which can't function if we are forever pumping drugs into it, including vaccines. Of course, this is only my opinion and no one has to agree with me. : - )"

When I picked her up they told me I could try and feed her at 7pm, and that she may throw up from the Anastasia. Well she didn't want to eat or drink anything that night and she was throwing up foamy substance. However, the next morning her face was extremely swollen she could barely open her eyes. She still refused to eat or drink anything. And now she was throwing up yellow bile everywhere. She had heavy breathing as well. She had trouble going to the bathroom, she would sit there and squat and nothing would come out. No bowel movements at all. I had to rush her to the hospital and they said it as most likely from the rabies vaccination. I was lucky to get her there so soon because they explained to me that it was a severe, life threatening case."

So maybe one day rabies or distemper might have set in. But I know she would be here now if I hadn't have done it. She basically died for nothing and I'm having a really hard time with it. I'll never trust a vet again."

Rabies vaccine, unless you live in the hills around a lot of wild animals I would just plain not do. I do not know if there are any "nosode" vaccines for rabies but there more than likely are for other cat diseases. We had a dog when I was young that contracted distempter B4 he got vaccinated & he survived to a ripe old age. I also had a kitten once that I was quite sure I was treating for distemper, tho it was a bit touch and go due to the youngness of the kitten, but he survived also. I feel your pain, anger and frustration. Wish I could bring your baby back for you. Vaccines are a #1 money maker for most veterinarians, unfortunately. Even the true protocol has changed much over the last few years concerning how often to do vaccines and after an animal is a certain age, they don't need more but should be good for life. Also facts most vets do not share with us! Hope you feel better."

Nutro and Freshpet dog food and he is very active with our lab-mix dog. About 2 weeks ago I gave him a rawhide chew which I very rarely give him but thought I would give him a treat. The next day he started gagging and coughing as if something was stuck in his throat. I took him to a different vet because his normal vet wasn't in. The new vet felt around and after listening to his heart expressed concern over his heart rate. After an x-ray she informed me that Magnes had an enlarged heart (dilated cardiomyopathy) and his lungs were full of fluid and that is why he was gagging. She started him on Lasix and Enacard which really made him stop eating and lose weight. I took him to his regular vet the next day who said he scratched his bowel and that is why his heart was under stress. He gave me an antibiotic for a bacterial infection. The following Friday I had an echocardiogram done and an x-ray of his stomach which showed and enlarged liver. A blood test came back okay except for elevated liver enzymes and cholesterol. He had a rough weekend last week, his gums were white and he fainted once. He was started on an additional heart medicaine called Vetmedin on monday and seems to be stabilized. He still won't eat that much and needs the food broken up into small pieces. I guess I am writing all this because 2 weeks ago he was a normal healthy dog and now he is in stages of congestive heart failure? Does this happen all of a sudden or is something else wrong or did the vaccines or rawhide cause all this mess?
In my gut I have a very hard time believing that he got this sick this fast from something that should take years to develop. If anyone has any insight or recomendations please help. Thank You, PAD"

It is good to give shortly after vaccines, as well. Most health food stores carry this. It is tiny pellets. I was trying to find some other info I had about giving thuja, then giving, ?silica I think or another remedy after that. If I find it I will reply again. If you can afford it you may want to consult a homeopathic vet since this sounds rather serious."
