several years ago I bought an 18 month bitch.......she got a rabie shot prior to being flown to Calif......within about 10 days she could not walk.....went to the vet.....three days later she was diagnosed with something I can't spell......I called the breeder, we agreed to put the bitch down.......3,000.00 vet bill .......oh yeah...I paid 4 grand for this bitch......not including air-fare to Calif.......vet believes that the rabie shot triggered this gravis disease that caused my bitch's death........not feeling sorry for myself cuz I'm a blessed man.......but man oh man Murphy sure knows where I live... be careful with repeated rabie shots...Ed Hill ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peggy" <pmick12@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: "showgsd-l" <showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, March 27, 2012 11:13:04 AM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] AVMA passes Rabies Waiver 2012 From: Rabies Challenge Fund Sent: Monday, March 26, 2012 3:30 PM AVMA (American Veterinary Medical Association) EXECUTIVE BOARD PASSES ANNUAL RABIES VACCINATION WAIVER http://www.avma.org/about_avma/governance/hod/2012RegularWinterSession/Resolution_2_rabies_vaccination_Final.pdf (please copy & paste link into browser if it doesn't work by clicking on it) "...AVMA recognizes some animals might require a waiver from rabies vaccination because the vaccination poses an unacceptably high risk to the health of the individual animal..."
