I don't know what most of you think about vaccines. However, the vaccine protocol has been given lots of scrutiny by the Vet Schools in the last several years. Giving 5 or 7 vaccines at once can challenge the immune system and some individual dogs are unable to incorporate that many vaccines at one time. This is why some puppies have been known to come down with Parvo even if they have been vaccinated. I never give 5 in one or 7 in one to puppies especially. Dogs have also been known to carry a very high titer for Rabies even after 5 years. There is a movement to convince the "lawmakers" that annual Rabies inoculations after a certain age are not only unnecessary but could be detrimental. The manufacturers and some vets will be hard put to accept this as it means a loss of the almighty $ ----- Original Message ----- From: <Amytortoise@xxxxxxx> To: <showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, July 09, 2007 5:54 PM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Vaccines Hi Everyone, I have a question about giving vaccines. Do a lot of you still give the DHLP/seven way shot with Lepto every year. Would you give it to a ten year old dog who has had his shots every year. I have two ten year old dogs, they are very healthy. I was just wondering what a lot of you do about giving shots and do you still give Corona? Any input would be greatly appreciated so that I can decide what to do because the dogs are all due for their shots. They do get a rabies shot every three years. TIA.
