Hello Kaffe,
Re: The Vet is SOOOOOO Wrong!
Hi fellow readers.
This newsletter didn`t happen as I am battling a
Flu virus, AND moving boxes to our new house.
I am feeling WAY better today, - it`s like
a fog has lifted....
----------------------------------------------
Here is a news article that just came out-
AND the Vet is SOOOO WRONG
---------------------------------------------
Animal Safety and Health
When it comes to your health, research is proving that
taking a few preventive measures now can mean adding years
of good health to your life.
That same theory holds true for our pets. We dropped in at
the Gloria Switch Road Veterinary Hospital to find out what
it takes to keep pets, healthy and happy.
Taking a few steps now could mean years of good health for
your pet. That's the word from veterinarian Dr. Tal Guidry
of the Gloria Switch Road Veterinary Hospital in Carencro.
Many pet owners feel that an annual rabies vaccination is all
that's needed to protect your best friend's health, but dogs
need a multiple approach to stay healthy.
"In addition to rabies, there is a ten in one vaccine; the
main things in it are canine distemper, parvovirus, hepatitis
and peri influenza. The other vaccine we normally use in dogs
is bordetella, commonly called kennel cough" Dr Guidry Says.
When it comes to cats, Dr. Guidry says a major health threat
is posed by two viruses that attack the immune system, feline
leukemia and FIV Annual vaccinations are important, especially
for multi cat households. In addition, cat owners should consider
a four in one vaccine call FVRCP, which protests against a number
of feline illnesses.
And for dogs, pet owners must be constantly vigilant about
heartworms. Have your dog or puppy tested first, and then
begin a lifelong prevention program.
"The heartworm prevention is usually started in puppies as
early as six weeks old, we like to get them started early
because then we're already in the habit of giving them the
monthly heartworm prevention, they need to take that all
year round, all their lives, in south Louisiana."
These few steps can keep your pet healthy for a lifetime.
--------------------------------------------------
This advice ( in my opinion) is WRONG.
--------------------------------------------------
Multiple vaccines will actually LOWER the chance of your
pet living longer- NOT add years to their life.
Most veterinarians vaccinate for too many things, too often.
And the vaccines have caused problems.
There is a growing body of evidence against vaccinating yearly.
Most veterinarians just choose to ignore the research
because either they still feel the benefits of vaccines
outweigh the risk or that they don't want to lose the
income from giving booster shots to all those animals each year.
Vaccinations work by stimulating the immune system - the
positive effect is to protect against infectious disease.
The negative effect can be the host of immune related diseases.
These can include: immune mediated hemolytic anemia, immune
mediated skin disease, vaccine induced skin cancer in cats,
skin allergies, arthritis, leukemia, inflammatory bowel disease
and neurological conditions.
It is more and more common to see cancer in dogs and cats under
5 years of age. Autoimmune diseases are on the rise as well.
Our companions are suffering from generations of over-vaccination,
which combined with inadequate nutrition, poor breeding practices
and environmental stresses are leaving each generation more
susceptible to congenital disorders and chronic disease.
Most veterinary schools are advising alternate vaccine protocols
and newer research is showing that vaccine immunity lasts much
longer than previously thought.
In some cases a vaccine given at 1 year of age may provide lifelong
immunity.
The analogy can be drawn to people and Tetanus vaccine. It only
needs to be boosted every 10 years, and this may be similar in
dogs and cats.
-----------------------------
SO what should you do?
-----------------------------
1. Vaccinate less- way less
2. Nutrition- your dog or cat need high quality
varied nutrition. NOT just dry kibble.
If feeding kibble stick with premium quality holistic
brands- I am now feeding Lewis a primary protein and
vegetable diet called Orijen- and he is thriving on it.
PLUS make some food at home- Lewis is getting a stew
at least twice a week, and some raw patties once or twice
a week.
3. Exercise- more often and regularly. Minimum 30
mins twice a day for dogs. For indoor cats, get them
to play with you- such as throwing a crinkly ball. Outdoor
cats get enough excercise doing the 'wild' thing.
4. Environmental toxins. Minimize exposure to these.
Avoid 'ides'..Herbicides, Insecticides etc..Don't be
spraying your lawn- and encourage your neighbor not the
spray theirs.
