<< For years I gave EVERY shot in the book.. and all the new ones that came
along..
I also gave fllu shots about every 60 days.
Reason the vets I dealt with then and what I read said IF we kept the
'teiter'' sp ?
up they would be protected from all the stuff..
WRONG..
Every winter I had a barn full of very sick horses. The workers.. those that
went to rides were worse.. and they had the most shots.
What I learned.. the shots caused the problems..the immunie system was
trash.
It did not know how to manage the diseases..
Now I only give Tetnesus.. Rabies.. and i did give in this year to give the
EEE WEE VEE.. and PHF I had a weak monent..
I thought I would only give the 'killer' shots.. I live in the wilderness
forest..lots of critters with rabies..
NEXT year I will give ONLY TET and Rabies.. >>
Dear Roger, (and everyone who has been sending me private e-mails regarding
their vaccine experiences--I may not have time to answer you all privately,
but am trying--!) THANK YOU! I am once again impressed with this group of
people who are ridecampers!--in the "real world" I hardly dare broach this
subject for fear of having Social Services and/or the humane society called
out--and yet nobody who is aghast at my suggestion that we need to take
another look at the entire concept of vaccination/immunization will ever have
any facts to back their hysteria up---hence my request in my original post
that I recieve no e-mail rants! I should have known better . . .
This is honestly the most widely read and broadly thinking group of horsemen
and people I've ever had the pleasure of communicating with.
Trish & "pretty David"(who hopes mom stays tied up answering e-mail all
day--)
