Side Effects of Pet Vaccines: A Closer Look

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

I've been thinking about pet vaccinations - or, rather, ALL mandatory vaccinations - and I think it would be a good idea to make up a slippery elm, bone-char and hardwood charcoal gel with some freshly ground dried marshmallow root powder, put it in one of those travel tubes they have for shampoo and smoosh a nice big glob of that on the spot right after. Suck that s%#t right back out.

I have a Boxer that had distemper and rabies shot last November 2009 (he was about a year old). About a month later he started to develop severe dry/red skin with blotches. He was digging at his skin constantly and obsessively. We finally brought him to the vet and they gave him a round of antibiotics that helped clear it up slightly. For months afterwards, he kept having these out breaks about once a month. This past spring (2010) we took him again because he had itchy skin. They gave him the same antibiotics and not realizing he had already been vaccinated for rabies a few months ago administered another shot. About 2 weeks later he started digging at himself even more than he has ever done before. He also started to act differently (aggressive at time and sometimes confused). We brought him back to the vet and they administered a shot of cortisone. That night he started to have these seizure looking episodes that only affected the movement of his head and he was completely concious and alert. Regardless of our description the vet's diagnosised it as focal epileptic seizures and immediately started to administer phenobarbitol. After about 2days later with the phenobarbitol not working, he was looking terrible and I was beginning to wonder if he was going to survive. By this time I was loosing faith with our vet. So, I began to do some extensive internet research. I found that the seizures were actually called "head tremors" and some believe are to be caused from vaccinations and/or a compromised immune system. This led me down a long trail of information about vaccinations and specifically overvaccinosis. I immediately started to administer milk thistle combined with dandelion root and burdock. The head tremors immediately started to get better and within a few days he stopped having them. Only on a few occassions within the past 4-6wks has he had them since giving him this liver detox formula. After finding great success with this natural miracle cure... We seeked the council of a hollistic/homeopathic vet and have been trying to repair the damage caused by this unnecessary vaccination protocol. After about a month of a raw diet, supplements, and homeopathic treatments our beloved pet is starting to make some improvements. He is still in the detox phase... so, it is tough some days. But, we are all confident that he will have an almost full recovery within the next 12mo.

My advice to anyone who has noticed any changes in their pet following any vaccinations within 3mo. is to seek a naturalistic vet ASAP. If it were not for sites like these my dog would have been dead at the hands of a normal veterinarian professional. It's time for the medical community to wake up and stop poisoning us and our pets with toxins! Stop treating symptoms and treat the cause naturally and safely!!!!
