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.

    Subject: FW: Rabies vaccine petition request:

    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

    @wizard: Makes you wonder what the vet schools are teaching too! Indeed it does!

    I'm really not sure why you care so much as to remind me where my breeder lives or who she is ( as both of us clearly know) . It's a rather insulting innuendo. As mentioned on the forum previously I experienced the hard way about not vaccinating more than one shot… Id rather a breeder teach me not to repeat Mistakes and tell me how to move forward ( which Pat did) Rather then hearing "ive killed my dog" and be chastised, which was what I wa first met with when trying to get guidance! And believe I mentioned in this thread I don't have intentions of giving more than one. As for why I prefer to ask Pat questions ( which really isn't your business) I don't have a great breeder relationship with Oakleys breeder, while I love her dogs...her an I don't get along personality wise. Hope thats enough of a satisfying answer for your obvious itch to know, of which I assume my breeders already told you!

    Well, your precious ones only have to have a rabies booster once every 3 years! Please tell all your friends in Wichita about the ordinance change – the newspaper buried the announcement in other animal-related information, I'm sure many pet owners in the city don't have a clue that they no longer have to booster every year.

    Judy Schor's agility champion, Peaches, suffered a significant adverse reaction to a rabies booster. Judy has posted photos of Peaches and a letter from the vaccine manufacturer, Fort Dodge, offering a settlement to pay for medical treatment if they not disclose information about the claim. You can read the letter and see photos of Peaches at this link: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2042916&id=1447415540&ref=mf .
