They're open all the time and take spur-of-the-moment cases like that. It might cost more, but it could have saved the animal's life.

It started at the site and now expanded up to the spine. I have reported this to some Organizations asking for help, Banfield who gave him his Fort Dodge (known for causing this cancer)vaccination, and two Vets have confirmed but cannot offer help financially, etc. to treat. I am on social security only and economically strapped. I cringe to think that as one Vet stated, they will burst open.

She layed around for 2 days did not want to eat or go outside. Now her puppy which is about 6 had her rabies shot today and she is having a similiar reaction to it. Like a baby has to its shots. Sleepy, droggy, walking funny, eyes look weak. I am woundering what can be done to stop Tennessee from having rabies shots required every year for dogs that stay in the house 90% of the time. If they last 3-5 yrs would it be unlawful not to give them another shot? I think its bad but can i get my 6 and 7 year old exempt from these shots when they are 7 and 8? Since they both have had a reaction to them. My shepard mix has a tumor like mass that has come up about a year ago on her body where her back leg conects on to her body, do you think this may have come from the rabies shot? Please let me know if theres anything i can do??? My 7 yr old shepard mix had her rabies shot last november she had a very bad reaction to it.

We are now opening the petition to a national constituency to advocate for endorsement by the National Association of Public Health Veterinarians who write the guidelines for rabies laws nationwide.

To this (vet) recommended mixture or professional advice, add some heartworm or flea medications and the picture then starts to become clear why so many dogs and cats are struggling with day to day living and/or are getting all kinds of other diseases, failures, sickness, etc. As people have learned not to trust the bad (kibble) dry big pet foods, the ususal next transition for pet owners is to examine why dogs need those annual “booster” shots and rabies shots every year.

It also mandates HPV vaccinations for female children. Anyone else see something wrong with this picture? Rick Perry wants to be the next George Bush. God help us if he succeeds.

There can be other problems too. I had a golden who developed fibrosing panniculitis at the site of his rabies shot when he was 5 yrs old. A female golden who at age 15, developed a vasculitis at the rabies injection site. She was very sick and it took 4 weeks of Baytril to get her infection under control. The Rabies Challenge is doing studies now. It appears that the rabies vaccine maybe good for 5 yrs instead of 3 yrs. My vet. told me he has titers done on himself and the titer is still high after 7yrs. Katie It vaccine sarcoma also occurs in dogs. There can be other problems too.

It is 1 in 3000 cats. EVEN it it was rare - would you care if it were YOUR cat? Merial makes shots that last at least 3 and possibly 7 years to life BUT they have the adjuvents in them that cause VAS in cats. Purevex makes shots without adjuvents but are only guarenteed for 1 year. STILL MOSt Vets are only useing merial for cats. Also did you notice on the picture with this article - that vet is giving the shot in the shoulder!!!!!!! Shoulder and scruff VAS is almost if not impossible to cure. At least if they get it low in the leg you can amputate the leg and save the cat! VAS (Vaccine associated sarcoma or injection site sarcoma) IS NOT rare! It is 1 in 3000 cats.

Why would anyone be required to vaccinate a cat more frequently is absurd. And to vaccinate sick pets? I was under the impression that a vet had the right to exempt the pet for illness. It's a perfect example of legislating by fear, rather than by science.
