Rabies Vaccine Side Effects
Well the County did a sweep through our city last year and guess what, I got a warning that my dogs were not vaccinated...... Of course they weren't! I believe it is killing animals all over the place and it's criminal! How many dogs are causing rabies infestations to humans that you know of? That pales in comparison to the amount of dogs developing 'auto-immune' issues because of these horrific vaccinations!
So, I tried to fight it and lost.... my vet wrote me a waiver for Starsky because he did believe Starsky had been through too much to get vaccinated and risk getting ill again.
But, Maggey, my 4 year old black lab mix had to get the vaccination (rabies). So I tried fighting it, but I would have had to take this to court if I didn't pay the $100 and get her vaccinated. So Maggey got vaccinated and less than 3 days later, she developed a rash, hair loss, redness, and swelling at the injections site, and here we are a year later, and she still is itching and losing hair just above her tail where the shot was injected! It makes me so mad that I am forced against my will to do this.
I'm battling what to do now that they are due again for their rabies vaccinations....

I am very scared for him, I want to make sure he has a healthy long life. When we found them as 1 month old kittens, they were half the weight they were supposed to be and nearly starved and dehydrated to death. Their mother we assumed was killed or picked up.
I hate to see him so wiped out. And my heart stops each time I see him suffering. I will never ever have him vaccinated again. The other cats do not seem to have any issues with the exceptions of dry long drawn out coughs. Again the vets dismiss this.
Not sure what has to happen to get the attention of the powers to be to investigate this phenomenon and determine to what extent these reactions occur.

After some testing and blood work the diagnosis came back. I had to take him for a transfusion, hospitalization, and meds. He survived this attack after a week in the hospital. Less than a year later the same thing happened... Long story short he's had 4 attacks in the last 5 years all requiring transfusions and hospitalizations. Prednisone stopped working for him and instead they gave him Atopica (cyclosporine). This was very effective and brought him out of his illness very quickly. He hasn't had an attack now in almost two years but I give him 25mg of Atopica twice a week. I also have him on 2000mg Vit. C and other natural and organic supplements, colloidal silver that I put in his water every day, and an organic diet of cooked turkey and veggies, Solid Gold WeeBits kibble, cottage cheese, and fish oil.
He's doing great and acts like a puppy now. I pray this disease does not reccur... It is a nightmare and very expensive to boot. Vaccines are deadly things for dogs as they wreak havoc with their delicate immune systems. He has a letter from his vet so he doesn't need any more vaccines. I had to have a rabies titer done which was 24. They say 5 is about normal.

Seven months later, we brought the dog in for allergies and swollen lymph nodes. Tests were taken and came back positive for lymphoma, which has no cure in the canine world. Incidentally, the cancer arose in the area that the shot was administered. Until getting involved in the canine cancer community in an attempt to treat and get a few more months with our dog, I made the discovery that many dogs faced with similar cancer diagnosis had owners that were doing the 3-year or even the yearly shots. We feel terrible that we put our beloved dog through the unnecessary multiple shots year after year. Vets commonly will give several shots at once, which puts a lot of undue stress on your dog's body. Humans get shots when they are little and as adults don't get a bunch more. If you are going to give your pet shots, please consider doing it in their early years and after doing a "blood titer test" to see if the vaccine levels in the dog's body are still acceptable. (They usually are for many years after). I believe the blood test costs more than the shots, but losing your pet to illnesses related to over-vaccinating them is worse.
Additionally, you should also be reading the label on commercial pet food to make sure that it doesn't contain "meat by-products. " I've researched and found that there wasn't a lot of regulation of the pet food market until recently. Meat by-products are things like chicken beaks, feathers, euthanized animals or rotting carcasses sold for rendering into pet food. Some companies have come out in response to not using by-products, and changing out their food to healthy meats like we would eat. Maybe I'm a little skewed because our dog has cancer, but in finding out some of the sources it can come from, we do have some choices.
In most areas, titer tests are acceptable to pass the annual rabies vaccination requirement and receive the tags. Your vet will have to test the blood and then put it into writing that your pet has acceptable levels of the vaccine in their system and provide this to the local ordinance to receive the tags. I've contacted several vets and found there are quite a few out there that do the titering because they do not recommend over-vaccinating through an animal's entire life because the vaccines stay in their systems for so long. Hope this helps someone.

My 7 yr old cat got a 3-year rabies vaccination exactly one week ago today. Two days afterward she developed a fever, lost her appetite, and became extremely lethargic. We took her to the emergency vet. They suspected a reaction to the vaccine, gave her subcutaneous fluids and a Benedryl shot. The next day we took her back as she was no better after the Benedryl wore off. Her temp was 103.6. She had a Fever of Unknown Origin 5 years ago and needed to be hospitalized, so we knew it was important to IV fluids and nutrition into her, so we left her. Her fever went up to 105, but it broke the day after that and we were able to take her home. Her urine had tested for bacteria and high white cell count, so she was put on Clavamox (urinary track infection) and Metronidazole (diarrhea) and Pepcid (stomach upset for Clavamox). She is still not fine. Her little bottom is still sore from taking her temp so much. She does not tolerate the Clavamox and throws it up immediately, but the vet did tell me that the culture shows no UTI so we can discontinue the Clavamox. We did discontinue it immediately. In fact, we took her off all the meds because she needed to have food and water.
As of last night, she was still not eating except for 5 or 6 'crunchies'. This morning she finally ate some of her favorite 'treat' food: Fancy Feast Turkey with Gravy. It wasn't much but is an improvement. We were to take her back today if she hadn't started eating, and I'm not sure that a heaping teaspoon really qualifies as 'eating'. It is nowhere near her regular intake. I am hoping to see an increase later today as I'm sure she's still not feeling great. Her eyes are not the sparkly big round orbs they usually are, but I'm pretty sure she does not have a fever. I have read so much about renal failure and vaccines, tho, I am petrified. Her readings came back normal, but that was on the first day. Does the renal system continue to degrade? How will I know, and when should I check, and is there something that can be done to prevent/stop it if is degrading?
I can only hope for the best. She's got a bit more energy today, but just a bit. She's an indoor cat, so no more vaccines. We only got this one because we're going trailering in Canada next year and they won't let cats in without a rabies vaccine. If I had known, we'd have skipped Canada! We'll just have to wait and see.
Today he is isolating himself, hates when I pick him up, and when I do - he hisses and growls at me. HE NEVER did any of this before and has always been the sweetest cat. NOW, he seems angry and doesn't want me around him. All of these horror stories I am reading about dangerous vaccines are freaking me out. I am so mad at myself and can't help to think something horrible is going to happen to him.

My beloved, 14 year old indoor Persian cat had a reaction to 2 vaccines given together in 2000. She never had two shots together again, and she had an antihistamine before any shot, but I limited what vaccines she had. I wish she'd have had nothing further.
She had a 3 year rabies shot in 2006. She was due for a booster shot last August & I let the deadline pass. She had a great winter - eating like a champ.
After nearly a year away from any vet visits, I took her into a new vet for a check up on February 11, 2010. The vet assured me that they only used the Merial Purevax 1 year vaccine without the adjuvant that had been linked to sarcoma. Apart from sarcoma, I was mainly worried about any immediate reaction, but she did not have one - that day.
At the Feb. 11 appt., she had blood work, then a follow up urinalysis on Feb. 28. Everything was normal. Importantly, her bilirubin was negative.
By early March, she was putting her ears down slightly. Then she began eating less. She was losing weight and we could feel her backbone. I raced into the vet & they said she was refusing food because she was upset that we had just moved 10 miles. Absurd. She's lived in many places with us, including Germany. Her bilrubin was now 25. She was jaundiced. It turned out she had pancreatic cancer that was blocking her bile ducts. She never woke up from surgery.
Her name was Reesie G. She was a Tortie & her little tongue stuck out naturally. She was the most wonderful, loving, joyful pet. Like the most faithful dog, she ran to my husband when he came in the house & did rolls of happiness for us on the rug in front of the fireplace. We are devastated. I would do anything to go back to Feb. & not let them give her that vaccine. ReesieG, Mommy loves you. I pray I will be able to see you again in heaven, where I know you are.
I am soooo sorry for your loss!I have lost many pets over the years. And it sucks basically. It hurts and you feel like your heart will break when you breathe. I wish that I could say something to make you feel better, but there is nothing. It does get better though, I promise. It still hurts when I think of all the critters that I have loved and lost over the years. But, not like it used to. I love animals! No matter what they are. I have been where you are and I am very sorry. I have heard that the spirits of animals and children go straight to where they are supposed to be because they are inocent and without sin. So yes,your little furry one is in Kitty heaven. I truly believe in this.

I saw bruising on my dog and I thought she might have fallen. so to be safe I took her to vet to make sure she didn't injure herself inside. Turns out the shot cause her to have a problem with her blood (autoimmune) she is now being treated. i wish I would have known that this could have happen.
