I could write a book on the side effects that vaccinations had on several of my dogs over the years. One fatal with my mom’s dog and one had to have a bone marrow test after her white count plunged. Results were immune mediated lymphopenia resulting from vaccination. One of my dogs went for routine exam. I stupidly against my better judgement gave in to the vets insistence of giving his yearly vaccinations. This was many years ago when the protocol was yearly. He was 13 at the time. Well by the night he was gasping for air and face was swollen like a basketball. A trip to emergency vets said most likely the lepto shot of course.
Years later I now follow the protocol of puppy vaccination and booster at a year No more vaccinations after that. Rabies is every three years but might get a titer test on that next time. I think the reason for my Pookies long healthy life of over 17 years as well as my Hannah Bells who was just put to rest at 17 due to Mitral Valve Disease was the elimination of all those vaccinations.
