1. Well, look at what happened the last time she listened to you

"Get up on the table? Well, OK. Holy shit! What the hell did they just do to me! That hurt - what he hell?!"

I wouldn't listen to you for the rest of the day either.

2. Some vaccines can knock animals out pretty good for the rest of the day

but call your vet ASAP just to be sure, if you haven't already.

3. He's probably just a bit wiped but I'd call the vet

Keep and eye on the following; Is he breathing alright, slobbering all over himself or having a hard time standing and walking.

Some dogs just need to recover from a stress reaction by simply going to the vet. Their sense of smell tells them that it isn't a safe place to be and you're the one making him go there. I had a dog that would drop so much hair at the vet that I was afraid she'd go bald if I had to go back.

5. Just my opinion, but I think pet vaccinations are a borderline scam

I don't give them to my dog because she's epileptic, but even if she wasn't I would probably do the 5 year program instead of yearly.

My cat only had one round of vaccinations when I picked her up from the pound and she's turning 18 this year, she's never needed to go to the vet for anything.

6. I hope she's an indoor kitty

because I've seen friends' cats die of feline leukemia. It's an ugly way for a good friend to go. Its easily transmissible among cats in the territorial arguments outdoor cats routinely get into.

I keep my cat vaccinated, and she's an old lady of 15. That means she's on an ever other year schedule. She's astonishingly healthy, still acts like a kitten most days.

Vaccinations do make her sleep for about 6 hours. After that, she's back to her old self, although she does tend to sulk for a day or so that I've made her go to the vet and get that smell all over her.

8. Probably

Edited on Mon Feb-11-08 05:23 PM by chicagomd

Canine Autism Mercury Syndrome. CAMS is a well defined syndrome that most vets don't want to tell you about becuase of the huge amount of money they make off of vaccinations.

Look around the forum here you should be able to get a recommendation for a good chelation specialist. Most of them are in Florida, however.

EDIT: Yes, it was sarcasm. Call the vet.

9. Sorry, but your dog is now autistic.

I thought everyone knew vaccines caused autism :shrug:

Sorry, being sarcastic. If you're concerned, I'd call your vet.
