Advice for Pet Vaccination Side Effects

Quercus (Flagstaff, Az) on 12/26/2025
5 out of 5 stars

Here is my story. We had a litter of 9 Labrador puppies. All had received one vax at around 14 weeks. After doing some research planned on giving another vax at a year. At 10 months one got sick. Initially we just thought it was something she had eaten. Testing confirmed it was Parvo.

Now all 9 dogs were housed together, ate from the same bowl, drank from a common bucket and played in the same yard. Obviously all were exposed.

Here is how we saved 4 who got really sick and kept the other 5 from being sick.

If you have multiple dogs, this may work for you too.

First find a vet that is willing to work with you. Some vets want to treat dogs like humans along with the associated costs. Unless you have lots of cash, treating multiple dogs can bankrupt you.Get your sick dog tested. This usually involves an office call and test costs. Now most vets will want to hospitalize your dog, give IV fluids, antibiotics and nausea meds. Very expensive, if you have many pets. Some vets offer an option of home treatment, that is what we did.

Here is what you will need from the vet. IV kit, needles and electrolytes in an IV bag. Electrolytes can come in 1 and 5 liter bags. If your treating several dogs get the 5 liter bags. Our vet added some antibiotics and B vitamins to the bag. The vet tech can show you how to do a sub cutaneous drip. The IV is the most important part of treating Parvo. Dogs dehydrate quickly with Parvo and that is usually what kills them. The antibiotics are for secondary infections.

So initially two of our girls got sick. We immediately started the IVs on them. Usually if they make it thru the first 3 days, they will be OK. We of course quarantined them, although the others were certainly exposed. You can treat several dogs from 1 bag of electrolytes. Just use new needles for each dog.

The other dogs were still all together. They were eating and drinking. We immediately added 1 tsp per gallon of food grade H2O2 to their water. 3% H2O2. We also put 500- 1000 MG of olive leaf in their food depending on their weight. We also added some grapefruit seed extract to their food. 3-6 drops. All three are antiviral.

We had two more dogs get sick and put them on IVs. All 4 of the sick dogs recovered and were eating and drinking after a week. 5 dogs never got sick. Once the sick dogs were eating, we added the olive leaf to their food too.

Two boys and two girls, all between 55 and 70 lbs recovered. Some lost a bit of weight, but gained it back quickly.

Dogs will shed the virus for near a month after recovery, so it is something to be aware of. Dogs will have immunity after recovery, but there are 3 strains of Parvo. Best to get a vax after they recover. We waited 6 weeks to vax them after the 4 were eating and drinking again.

All the best

Re: Borax and Peroxide for Mange

Hi Michelle! What did your vet say?

we just did this and our dog seems a bit more itchy. On the video, the lady towel dried her senior dog and that’s what we did as well since it’s so cold here. I’m wondering if I have to leave her sopping wet for 30 minutes.

Coconut Oil, Garlic, Turpentine Parasite Protocol Day for Dogs

Katzie (Cancun, México) on 12/19/2025
5 out of 5 stars

I have had up to 8 rescues-at-a-time here at my shelter, where there are always 1 or 2 facing health challenges when they first come in. I can handle all the minor stuff easily since dogs' bodies are meant to heal themselves under optimal conditions. Prevention is the name of the game! I have found great results with the dogs maintaining their health by giving them this every other day:

1/4 tsp Turpentine, 1/2 tsp Minced Garlic, 1 tbsp Coconut Oil.

I have a clear deep spoon that I use and dose them all at once before our morning walk. Then I wipe them all down with organic Apple Cider Vinegar on a sponge. This is for hot spots from Mange (that many come in with), which works very quickly, but its also for bad odors, general cleaning and beautiful coats! The every other day wipedowns prevent hot spots from recurring. I have been doing this for 10 months and I mostly just have to treat minor injuries now and then, and not raging cases of mange or mites anymore. Ticks and fleas have gone way down too. After a few weeks here the dogs become rather bouncy and happy, and it's like walking Tiggers from Winnie the Pooh because they've never felt so good.

Parasite Protocol Day is only given every other day. If a dog is bad-off when it gets here, I do every day for a week, and then they're on the same schedule with the others.

In fact, for all the dogs here I have only seen the Vet once in the last year(last week) and that was for a broken leg. I realized once we got there that it had been a long time since I'd needed him. The health of all my dogs has been really good and I credit our Parasite Protocol for this! Just wanted to share.

PS - I wanted to add that I have tried Baking Soda for alkalizing water, lime/lemon juice in their water, minute amounts of ACV in their water and none of these ever worked as they would not drink. This is my best option and it's cheap with fantastic results.

Re: Adulterated Cat Food in Canada

Janice (Windsor, Ontario) on 12/18/2025

Y'ever hear that Michael Jackson song? "All I really know is that they don't really care about us". True!

I knew sumpin' was up when reading up a few years ago about a vet in Ohio, who was pulled before a Review board for vets for censure after speaking about this: how a 3lb dog is made to receive the same dose of the rabies vax as a 70lb Bull Mastiff. He was not allowed to lower the dose or he could lose his License, per drug company rules. Big harma also will start selling meds pulled for human consumption to the vet industry and recoup losses that way; this has happened more than you'd like to think.

Just remember this: it's not your vet, that person likes animals just fine, but does have student loans to payoff, and stiff rules they have to live under. And just as in humans, a healthy animal is not a revenue generating animal, is it?

Ted's Borax and Peroxide Treatment for Cat Mange

Lynn4 (Maryland) on 12/18/2025
5 out of 5 stars

I had picked up a used cat bed, needless to say, even after I washed it in hot water put it in the dryer hung it outside in the sunshine - I believe it had been infected with something. My cat liked the bed and the next day she began scratching her right ear and she was losing hair all over that side. Ted's recipe for mange was what made it go away. I had previously tried other remedies to no avail. Thankful for this recipe.

i don't think you are conspiracy theorist. That said, nowadays...wear it like a badge of honor because it means you are awake, not burying head in sand and throwing insults like a lot.

Re: Giving Serrapeptase to a Cat

Sally (ladysmith) on 12/14/2025

Hello Bodulica,

Thank for your 2019 post regarding serrrapeptase. My 8year old cat was just diagnosed with severe asthma, and they sent her home with a two week supply of prednisolone and to set her up with inhalers. I just happen to have a bottle of serrapeptase as I have taken it for myself. However this bottle is 120,000su

I'm just wondering if you would know how much to give my cat.

Thank you for any help to may suggest.

Kindly.Sally

Re: Coconut Oil for Yeast Infections

Liz (USA) on 12/13/2025

Hi Gary,

I agree with your assessment that vaccines can cause many issues, hence my 9 month old pom puppy has yet to get any, and when she does it will simply be the required rabies- but the thimerosal free (most holistic vets will offer it)

My pup has been itching since we brought her home as a puppy, and in her recent stool test it shows yeast. In our case it is probably the kibble that was fed to her and her parents before we got her, and probably foods we've tried as I've tried to find something she will eat that doesn't increase the itching (mostly eats meat/veggies, some beans, some raw oat groats), but we have also tried freeze dried and kibble. But all that to say, while vaccines can definitely make the issue worse as it adds stress to the body, its important to consider diet and environmental factors as well.

Re: Bleeding Fibroid Dog

Cou (Australia ) on 12/10/2025

Hi Alex,

Late reply but hopefully might still be of use to know that Yunnan Baiyo stops bleeding internal and external... It's actually a miracle supplement everyone should know about.. I use it for my dog with hermangiosarcoma to stop any possible spleen rupture bleeding but it's used for many other blood related ailments

I also slipped and cut into a vein on the palm of my hand under my thumb with a Stanley knife it was frightening, quickly got a Yunnan capsule, cracked it open and sprinkled it on the cut and the bleeding stopped instantly no joke was nothing short of amazing...

It will help you 100%.

I get mine from a small Chinese supermarket near me but you can get online also. It's either in capsules or a powder.

Each have a little red insurance pill for major emergencies IE knife wounds bullet wounds(says this on the packet :o)

Hope this helps :)

Re: Need Help for Dog With Excessive Barking & Constant Hunger Issues

Katzie (Cancun, Mexico) on 12/10/2025

You didn't provide any info on the dog's situation (breed, age, etc), so it's not really possible to offer info on the excessive barking. Barking = talking for a dog, so what is the dog trying to tell you? It could literally be caused by a hundred different reasons.

As for the hunger issues, well, that wasn't explained either. It could be a not-enough-food issue, not-enough-protein issue, or even a parasite-issue if its been losing any weight. There are lots of tips posters here can share but we need just a bit more information. I know you're probably frustrated, so please share more info when you can.
