We hear more and more dogs with so many problems after visits to their veterinarians. Most people want to do what is right for their fur babies. Every time that card comes in the mail as a reminder that your beloved pet is due for their shots you make that appointment. Then the worst happens, your puppy/ dog has a bad reaction to the shot.
We know that vaccines can suppress the immune system. But what happens when we combine three, five or even seven vaccines into one? Do the Whombo Combo vaccines we give our pets increase the immune suppression even further? Of course, the answer is yes. When cell meditated immunity is suppressed, the dog is more susceptible to not just viruses, but to bacteria, yeast, fungi, parasites, gastrointestinal upsets and skin conditions.
You will see a lot of more demodex in puppies and dogs. A great deal of health problems that vets treat every day are caused by aggressive puppy vaccine schedules or too-frequent vaccination of adult dogs. We know that the minimum duration of immunity is 15 years for distemper and 9 years for parvovirus (Schultz et al, Age and Long-term Protective Immunity in Dogs and Cats, J Comp Path, 2010).
