Abby Got Lucky
(read)
It's been a long time since I have returned to this site due to many family problems unrelated to Abby's reactions to her vaccinations. Thank you for caring enough to inquire about her health, and I am so sorry that you lost your beloved Jack Russell. Abby has had this kind of autistic-like reaction in the past, but with each episode the intensity increases, with this one being the worst by far. It took Abby about 6 days to return to her normal self. A very scary week for us! I would not allow her vet to give her a steroid shot because my former dachshund developed steroid-induced Cushing's Disease. The vet suggested a titer test next year which I will have done, but I probably will never again allow her to have vaccinations. She is 7 years old and just had her 3-year rabies so she is good till she is 10 on that front, but as far as the DPT shot goes, I will not allow her to ever have it again. She lives a very sheltered life and exercises in our fenced-in yard. I'm beginning to think that Big Pharma has its fingers on the pulse of our animals' health requiring too many vaccinations and medications. Don't get me wrong, I believe in prescription medications but think that too much is required and dispensed.

I'm Glad Abby's Better.....
I think Big Pharma's finger is someplace other than on the pulse of our animals' health. How about the wallets of caring, concerned pet owners! Have you ever checked into a holistic vet? It might be worth investigating! Good luck with Abby.
