In response to Trish's revelations, here are mine. My horses get tetanus
annually only and get EEE/WEE every other year. We are doing the same at
the track and our horses NOT getting vaccinations are the healthiest in the
lot. When a horse is claimed, then we have to go through a detox protocol
and once they have dumped all the junk in their systems do well. You
cannot however JUST stop vaccinating. You have to take steps to maintain a
healthy immune system including diet and maximizing health
(acupuncture/homeopathy) to boost immune system. As for the dogs, the
studies are starting to show that distemper and parvo last for years to
life. AT the most they might need 2 in their lifetimes. Cats: panleuk
(distemper) probably lasts for minimum of 5 years and probably life. FIP
is a bad vaccine and might sensitize the animals to the disease (Cornell
study). Rabies and Fel. Leuk have been PROVEN to cause malignant
fibrosarcomas in 1:500 animals. My animals get rabies only. Their vaccine
titers show them to be well protected.
