My Charlie is 1 1/2 year old Maltese boy. He received his Lyme Disease vaccine yesterday. Last year he was absolutely fine, but yesterday he developed the aggressive allergic reaction within 20 minutes. I eneded up driving like a lunatic back to the Banfield Animal Hospital. He started to shake his head, scratch his eyes and ears and almost banged his little head against the car window as I was holding him to calm him down. I was terrified.
They administered 2 shots - Benadryl and some steroid one to stop the attack.
Till this day I didn't know there are 2 kinds of vaccines - core and non-core... I pay for his Health Plan with a Banfield Animal Hospital at Petsmart and on numerous ocassions I was looked down for asking too many questions or refusing some advised treatments, because I simply did not think he needed X-rays and tests costing over $600 after having a slight diarrhea.
They charged me another $95 for those 2 shots he was given and sent me home with a baby Benadryl.
After reading all those stories here - many heartbreaking - I decided not to give him any more non-core vaccines. I even read that Giardia vaccine is not effective against the actual disease and it is only in experimental stage.....!!! Now how horrible it sounds?
Are they experimenting on our pets with all those chemicals???
I think all drug companies do that - with pets and with humans as well.... trying all those new drugs, having all those ads on TV and then after few years you learn those so called miracle drugs harmed the liver, kidneys, heart or caused stroke, cancer or even death.
I want to thank you for creating this site and allowing us - pet parents - to share our stories and allowing us to warn others about the effects of drugs and vaccines. I hope many lives will be saved in a future because of warning and articles published here.
My heart goes to all families, that suffered through the ordeals and through the loss of their beloved family member.
Thank you again,
Katie & Charlie.

So far she has shown no improvement and they want to try a plasma transfusion if this continues. I was told she has extreme abdominal discomfort and has to have pain medication. I don't think it was caused by anything she ate because I have a smaller dog in the house who has eaten everything she has and been everywhere she has and is not ill. The lot number was not listed on the receipt. Some sites say to report the side effects to the drug company? is this wise if I may end up sueing them?

I just read your post about your dogs bad reaction after getting vaccines - I agree it is from them.
If there is a vet who will state that is what happened, they will have to pay for all treatment. But I know the most important thing for you is to have your dog back in good health- I hope he is doing better??? are you getting any answers??

I was reading on line about all animal's shots etc.
I think after a certain age they do not need as many shots any more just the basic's. Again there are places that sell needles and the serums for dogs where you can lean how to give your pets subcutaneous and that's just lifting up a thin layer of skin to give your pet the shot. It's only cost is about $40.00 I get mine at agway supplies.
Here is a web site for you to read up on. it's very interesting to know, good luck.

Curvee; Your dog may get dehydrated if he/she has diarrhea much longer, try giving your dog rice, chicken, cooked veggie, I make my food for my pets fresh especially when they are sick, the rice will absorb any impurities in the tummy and other ingredients is the nutrition your dog needs because the loss of it. Good luck.

Plz. note that she had NO health problems until this vaccination. I shouldn't have got her vaccinated coz I know she would be alive today otherwise. She was my heart and soul and I clearly let her down and contributed to her death - killing her. So PLEASE other dog owners, once ur dog is vaccinated 1st year, NO NEED to revaccinate them.
I had adopted her from a shelter and she was with me for almost 5 yrs. In these 5 yrs, I gave her complete holistic care with 100% vegetarian homemade food and she thrived on it. Before when I adopted her her hair wud fall but not anymore. She ate lots of fruits and fresh veggies each day but its sad to say that of all things my stupidity and me going against my instinct and vaccinating her killed her. So plz. everyone as dog owners and dog lovers, say NO TO VACCINATIONS.

But today feb 28th upon getting the last of her shots which was CDV- A2 Adult vaccine she had a very bad reaction Within 30 minutes I had to run back to the vet office with her... Her eyes blew up like swollen little golf balls with bright red rings.. It was horrific.... The vet administered benadrly as well as steroids and kept her at the office for observation. I don't know if I will be able to bring her home later today as I was advsied to call back at 5:30 to check her progress. Please advise me on what steps I should take... The vet said the vaccine was from the same lot given earlier in teh month... But I am so hesitant to repeat any vaccines ever again. Who Do I report this reaction to ? I m a nurse and if this was a human reaction I know who to call.. But not fir a canine... So please advise Thanks Maggie

Thy it never walked, I took it to vet thy gave us medicine, it lost its appetite, just kept on drinkin water, and finally on MAY 16th morning, it raised its head from the floor, slammed its head on both sides like how whales do in the ocean, we got scared, then ist toungue turned blue /ash and it dies, I really cannot take this out of mind pls anybody tell me what was teh reason for its pityful death , we couldnt save it than watchin it mercifully :(, pls help me , , , am haunted with its thoughts and guilt.

I RECENTLY WENT THROUGH THE SAME THING SAME AS TWO OF MY SISTERS DID. VETS. ARE EUTHANIZING OUR PETS BY THE MILLIONS; NATION WIDE, AND THEY HAVE THE LEGAL RIGHT TO DO SO. IF YOU HAVE ANY FRIENDS WITH PETS ASK THEM NOT TO GO TO THE VETS. LET NATURE TAKE CARE OF ITSELF; IF ALL ELSE FAILS WE CAN TRY TO HELP SAVE OUR OWN ANIMALS. , WITH NATURAL CURES. MY VET GAVE MY SWEET ZOEY AN ANTIHISTAMINE WHICH MADE HER HEART BEAT WAY TOO FAST AS SHE WAS ALREADY BREATHING HEAVILY FROM BEING SICK, I TOOK HER HOME AN SHE DIED IN MY ARMS I WAS DEVASTATED AND HEART BROKEN. THEY CAN'T HAVE OUR SOULS SO THEY TRY TO BREAK OUR SPIRITS. BE SURE TO SPREAD THE WORD TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT YOUR VET. I'M SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS. GOD BLESS

We took our 1 year old Persian this morning for castration as we had no history of his as he was left on our door step, we asked the vet to give him the necessary vacinations like rabies, feline Leukemia and others.
The vet was asked by me if it was Ok if he had all these together on one go and she said they do it all the time-They also did his blood test for FL and it was negative Besides the vaccinations and surgery, they also gave him a de-worming tablet, an antibiotic a painkiller- We picked him up later in the evening and he seemed Ok . He ate his food and then after 1/2 hr. He started licking his scrotum, we made him desist and then he suddenly started bleeding heavily, so we thought it was due to the surgery. We called the vet and he said bring him in immediately We rushed him and the vet said he will check him and then after taking him into surgery , they gave him gas as he had eaten food, and that the sutures which were internal were fine, then the doc said it was because his blood had thinned down and he was going to do a blood count-and said that the blood had most probably gone to his lungs.
He said that it was the medications possibily
After he finished he said well there's 40% chance as he's serious and his breathing is labored as he suspected he may be bleeding elsewhere too, but to keep him at the vets and they would monitor him. The vet said his color and gums are pink and healthy lokiing but he was to be monitored through the night
The vet also told us that if he survives the night, the next day he may have blood in his stools , maybe dark or fresh and he would have bruises over his body.
An hour after he called us and said he was awake and breathing normally
What I want to know is, Can all these vacinations surgery be done all at the same time?maybe he could not take all the different medications like the vaccinations, de-worming when they checked his ears inside there were ear mites and the ears were cleaned out some external drops was applied on his skin between the shoulders
Could not all this be the reason for his blood thinning and not clotting ?
I hope and pray that he comes thru and we get our baby of 10 days back- He has brought so many smiles in our lives. Feed back will be appreciated-thanks

Two and a half years ago our cairn terrier was hit in the head by a closing recliner chair. Since then the left side of his head has paralysis including the inability to move his left ear, difficulty closing his eye ( no vision problem) and unable to close the left side of his mouth completely. Since that injury he has had episodes of neurological symptoms including falling over with his legs flail and cries out lasting approximately 1 minute, occurring 1-3 days following the administration of his monthly dose of interceptor.
On December 1st 2010 I took him to the vet for his rabies vaccination and the vet recommended he also have a Lyme vaccination which I agreed with. Following these vaccinations, his appetite decreased and he has increased thirst and noted weight loss. He is less active with many periods of sleepiness. Approximately 3 weeks following the vaccination and two days after giving him his heart-worm medication interceptor, the neurological episodes started and were much worse than ever before occurring 1-2 times a day and for approximately 5 days. He hasn't had any further episodes over the past 3 days but he is much less active and has had loss of bladder several times.
Our dog continues to play chasing thrown objects but tires much quicker than normal then lies down and sleeps for a couple of hours. I am at the point that I feel our dog is reacting to his heart worm medication and his vaccinations.

The vaccinations she received are as follows:11/04/10, Lyme, Lepto, Rabies, Dhhp, no symptoms after those at all. 12/06/10, Lyme, Lepto, DHHP, hasn't had her HW prevention as of yet this month. She was given a total of 3 sets of vaccinations in the last 2 months. I've never had this happen before, maybe a little bit of allergic rxn but with benadryl and prednisone, 1 dose of each, it went away, none with this dog. I'm baffled because nothing else can be found. Please let me know; Rabies vaccine from Fort Dodge.
