1/9/2024 0 Comments Puppy vaccine after effects![]() ![]() I do not recommend that a dog diagnosed with cancer of any kind – even if the cancer has been removed – be vaccinated at all. No vaccines for dogs with cancer or other serious illness Just a short bout of steroids can reduce immune function over 75%! Also note that a relatively new drug called Atopica is now being used for dogs who don’t respond to steroids it also dangerously suppresses the immune system, so you should never vaccinate a dog that is taking this drug. If your dog has recently been on steroids, the vaccine won’t work. Steroids such as prednisolone, prednisone and dexamethasone signifi cantly suppress the immune system. Know that certain medications suppress the immune system As well, if you are moving to a new home or taking your dog on a plane, be careful not to vaccinate during these stressful periods. Get him on a good diet and healthy supplements. If you want to follow the minimal vaccine protocol, you can get the little fellow examined as soon as you like, but wait on the vaccines. ![]() If you have adopted a puppy, keep him at home for a week or more before you rush to the veterinarian to get vaccines. To prevent nullification, the ideal interval between the first vaccine and the next booster shot should be three to four weeks. Additionally, vaccinations too closely spaced interfere with a puppy’s immune system response because immune components from the earlier vaccine nullify the following one. First of all, maternal antibodies in the mother’s milk identify the vaccines as infectious agents and destroy them before a four- to nine-weekold nursing puppy can benefit. Vaccinating puppies too early and too often actually prevents vaccines from having the desired effect. When vaccines should not be givenĪside from what we’ve already discussed, there are several specific situations and conditions in which you should not vaccinate your dog, or at the very least, take extra precautions. The new mantra for vaccinations is “less is more”. Veterinarians now know it’s important to minimize the potential for chronic long term medical problems from vaccinations. Excellent long term research has backed up my clinical experience. I did titer tests frequently at my own practice two decades ago, and found that all dogs were showing protection. You can easily check to see if your dog remains protected from infectious disease through a simple blood titer test. In short, once a puppy has had his initial vaccines, annual shots are not necessary and are even detrimental. There is no scientific documentation to back up the label claims for yearly vaccinations at the same time, research unequivocally shows that these same vaccines subject a dog to the risk of many diseases. In my opinion, you can credit over-vaccination for the rise in these illnesses. I think you’ll agree with me that too many dogs are developing allergies, cancer, irritable bowel disease, ear infections, liver and kidney problems, autoimmune diseases, compromised immune systems and glandular changes. Many veterinarians are even more worried about the growing incidence of chronic diseases resulting from vaccination. Many dogs have severe reactions that may debilitate them for life – or even kill them. There’s even a term for it – vaccinosis – commonly defined as the acute symptoms that can occur right after a vaccine. A Tide of ChangeĬonscientious veterinarians are speaking out more and more about what can happen to dogs that are over-vaccinated. Dogs just don’t need that many vaccinations to acquire full immune protection. If he had vaccines for distemper and parvo after six months of age, he will most likely be protected for the rest of his life from these diseases. If you’ve ever wondered how to protect your own dog from infectious disease without subjecting him to potentially dangerous vaccinations, it’s most likely you’ve already done so. They’re necessary to protect puppies against infectious disease, but yearly vaccines through adulthood are unnecessary – and in some situations even contraindicated. ![]()
