CA message/Rabies vaccine and ill dogs

Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • I am forwarding this to California animal lovers and hope each one of you will do the same. This is an important and simple bill that urgently needs to be passed. We have seen the need for an exemption several times at our rescue and have not been able to get one. This petition can do so much good for so many ailing and older dogs. Please take a moment to sign and forward it.

    Hi Guys:

    As you know, I very rarely send you mass e-mails. But this one is really important to me. For those of you who don?t have dogs or who don?t know about Rabies vaccines, they are usually good for life after they are given once in puppy hood. The vaccines have many severe side effects and can kill dogs who have some conditions. My Basenjis Echo, has this kind of condition. Some people pay each year to have them tested so, they can get a letter from their Vet and get an exemption from the vaccine. My city does not except these tests or letters. There is a bill that is up for vote that would make this a state law allowing exemption. Could you do me a huge favor and take a moment and sign this petition supporting this bill. It is really very important and can save the lives of many dogs who have conditions that make them at risk.

    Thanks so much,

    SAVE OUR PETS BY FILLING OUT THIS PETITION!

    Connie

    There are different types of rabies vaccine. The ones most likely to cause a reaction have thimerosal in them. A friend's dog (not a Basenji) had an anaphylactic reaction to a rabies shot, and she would have lost him had the vet not still been present and able to counter it with epinephrine. In the future they made sure the shots he got did not have thimerosal. Usually reactions aren't quite so dramatic, but something to keep in mind. I also used blood titers to avoid unnecessary vaccinations with my dogs. More expensive, but worth it!

    Kipawa had this happen with one of his shots. It took about 2 months to go away, and started to really reduce in size with massage. The area is perfectly fine now - you'd never know anything odd had been there.
