breeding delima

[primabella]

cali, what you just said seems incredibly impossible. Seeing the doctor and getting shots made them sick, not getting proper vet care made them better. Anyways, I don't care what method you use. It's your dogs.

I'm just sorry on how this thread got so long. I have a feeling it was done on purpose to start something. It's obvious you go to a pet messageboard, post a topic you know most of the members are against and just leave them to reply to it. Even if it isn't, I don't care. I don't have anything left to say anyways (That shut me up )

What if your dogs come in contact with a sick dog and your dog catches whatever that dog had. Would you not take it to the vet and get shots to make it better?

I was going to make the same point. Our vet even told us to avoid going on long walks before he got his first shot.

It’s not off topic. It’s called an analogy. I hope their child doesn’t get any horrible diseases.

Yeah, I didn't take Nala to the dog park until she got her all of her first shots ( Rabis and all) There's too many chances of another dog being sick and spreading it to her or Nala being sick and spreading it to someone else's dog.

I think she meant to say "believe it or not" not that what you said was OT (off-topic)

It's hard to understand what she types sometimes... I basically just skipped over that sentence because it was confusing, Lol.

Oh yeah, I see it now. Thanks Liana. In that case, perhaps using Microsoft Word first would be a good suggestion?

[primabella]

lol I like the message in your sig. (dictionary.com) It's like a "Hooked on Phonics" commercial or something.

no prob Micki

oh yes sorry typo, that was supposed to be or, not ot

anyway my original post was meant to get people to be rational, not start a war and vaccinosis is a real illness ya know, and it was vet diagnosed in happy, they do get vet care just not a tone like people here do. we both have our opinions, and i have nothing wrong with your veiws but you have no right to say that I am irrisponble just because I have different veiws. and they do get a parvo shot as a pup.

ack. Please, don't breed. We have enough breeders in this world as it is. I respect responsible breeders and even if you have the best intentions, please think about the dogs in the pounds. Their are thousands of dogs dieing everyday in this world and bringing more dogs into this world won't help a bit.

Cali, I actually read a bit about not giving dogs shots. I was considering it but I need to do more research and ask different vets about it. If I do take that route, he'd get titer tests very often to check his immunity level. As often as I can afford, but we'll see. I'd probably also get the vet to give him nosodes. Do you have any experience with them Cali? I heard that it was proven to be just as effective as vaccines.

Cali, I try to steer away from "posts gone bad", like this one seems to be headed. I would caution you that some of us are specifically speaking to Lute/Lexie because she has been here a long time, even though she did sign up under a new nickname several months ago. There is history here; we are not being cruel, I promise. And, she did ask. There's one big problem on these forums, and not just Pet Talk. Someone comes here, makes a statement or asks a question, but then the person posting or someone else takes offense that others offer an opinion that differs from theirs and there are hurt feelings. My theory is that if you don't want to hear opinions, other than your own, don't ask to begin with. The same thing goes for your opinion on holistic medicine. You will have some people who don't understand your position. I, frankly, would enjoy knowing more about it, and how you became so confident with it that you no longer seek veterinary attention for your animals. We don't have anyone in our area that I have heard of that practices holistic medicine, and I totally trust my vet in regards to vaccines and medical care for my pets.

I only have experience with titres we get those done sometimes, its expensive though so only when we can afford it, and our vet pulls some strings for us to make it cheaper I have never heard of nosodes before, maybe my mom has, but she is in calgary, so I cant very well ask her lol but just a warning if you dont have a lab in your area that has the equipement to check the blood samples, then its cost a lot of money here its $48 per titer per dog 2 titers each and five dogs equals a LOT of money!

I never called you irresponsible. I just don't agree with what your doing. I have never heard of your kind of "vet care" either so I guess I can't say much. I just don't think what your doing is the best thing for your pets. But it's your choice. I just think good ol' fashion shots and check-ups is best.

I think she is just trying to start trouble. Unless she really had that kind of question...but what kind of answer would she expect?
