I have always felt it would be in the best interest of my profession if clients heard about this from their Veterinarian first.
 
 
When Katy developed this adverse reaction to her annual vaccines in 1996, I started doing some research.
 
 
Cats are getting cancer from their vaccines. Because of adverse reactions to vaccines like IMHA
and fibrosarcomas, scientists started looking for a way to make vaccines safer. The solution, reducing the  numbers of vaccines, has not been widely accepted by
our profession.
 
 
A survey of 27 Schools of Veterinary Medicine in1995 in the US and
Canada showed 27 different protocols for vaccination recommendations

 

 
 
This article was published in August 1995 by 8 immunologists. One
sentence caught my attention, “The
client is paying for something with no effect.” I cannot in good conscience charge my clients something for
nothing, much less for something that can have an adverse effect.

I was riding Tony over a bridge. Suddenly he jumped off into 30 feet of water with me on his back. Tony
learned how to swim that day.
He was not expecting to learn how to swim. As you can see by his ears it made him very mad. This is how many
of  the members of my profession are experiencing change. If our profession
is to move forward to achieve optimal patient care, we must be willing to challenge things we once thought were true and accept new scientific
evidence as it comes out.
