Jean Dodds minimal vaccination protocol

Anonymous said: 💎 so I don't know if you've covered this before (couldn't find anything in the faq or search), but do you have any thoughts on the minimal vaccination protocol as recommended by dr jean dodds? basically every single breeder and a lot of shelters in rescues here in the usa are practicing this protocol. i couldn't help but to think of antivaxx nonsense when i first heard of it, honestly, but i imagine a vet would know much more about it than a simple layperson!

I don’t know a lot about Dr Jean Dodds, other than other vets on forums being unimpressed that she was recommending thyroid medications for dogs she’d never seen based on (normal) blood results owners had sent her and the whole ‘making recommendations for pets you can’t see’ business is something I’m opposed to, and I understand she leans towards the anti-vaxx side of things. (Hint: people mentioning vaccinosis is a bit clue)

The so-called ‘minimal vaccination protocol’ is here, summarized below:

9 to 10 weeks: Distemper and Parvovirus

14 to 15 weeks: Distemper and Parvovirus

18 weeks: Parvovirus only

20 weeks+: Rabies

1 year: Parvovirus, Distemper and Rabies, but not at the same time.

Which is a little bit weird to me.

Technically the absolute ‘minimum vaccination’ would be giving a MLV (modified live vaccine) for Distemper and Parvovirus in a dog over 6 months of age, once, and hope for the best. This is what typically happens with feral and street dogs with the trap and neuter programs.

It’s not a terrible protocol as such, but it does seem a little bit weird to me.

Firstly, there’s no kennel cough in that protocol. Technically kennel cough is an optional vaccine (Parainfluenza and Bordatella being the main two kennel cough components we worry about, but adenovirus is one too which has been excluded from this protocol). Now for a pet dog you might choose to leave it out, for but shelters which have lots of stressed dogs crowded together? Or for breeding dogs going to shows that mix with other dogs, knowing that the fever from kennel cough can cause temporary low sperm counts? Surely you would consider it. Especially with the oral or intranasal vaccines which are associated with higher efficacy and lower side effects.

Adenovirus (infectious hepatitis) is also not here. It’s fairly uncommon, but is generally lethal, and at least locally to me all MLV distemper and parvo vacs include it, and it’s not like I can take it out.

Rabies I would just follow manufacturer guidelines. Rabies is technically an optional vaccine according to the WSAVA, only because there are some places in the world, like Australia, which don’t have it, so we don’t vaccinate for it. But if you are in a Rabies area, you should really be giving as recommended by the manufacturer to cover your butt.

Spacing out vaccines so they’re not given on the same day I personally think is unnecessary in most cases, but I have no problem with people doing it. Especially if they think the animal has had any reactions before.

I’m not sure what the logic is of giving a parvo vaccine at 15 weeks and 18 weeks, as all manufacturers will claim that giving it at 16 weeks is adequate. Surely if you wanted an absolute minimum you’d just do 10 weeks and 16 weeks, so I‘m perplexed at the reasoning here. Perhaps her local brands make different claims? They must be somewhat different if they can get vaccines without adenovirus in them.

It probably is adequate protection for parvovirus in puppies. But you know what the more typical vaccination protocol is?

6 to 8 weeks (preferably 8 weeks): Distemper, Parvovirus, Adenovirus (Infectious Hepatitis)

10 to 12 weeks: Distemper, Parvovirus, Adenovirus +/- Kennel Cough

16 weeks+: Distemper, Parvovirus, Adenovirus +/- Kennel Cough

Rabies as indicated by region

So the ‘minimal’ protocol isn’t that different, and just pushed the vaccines back by a few weeks. Honestly if I was going minimal I’d drop the third parvo vac and do the second one at 16 weeks.

If the dogs are at risk being in a high parvo area, the 18 weeks vaccine isn’t going to help any more than the 16 week one would, and you’re putting the pups at more risk by skipping/delaying the first vaccine when they’re most at risk.

So in conclusion, a bit weird, but not totally terrible I suppose.

Though rabies is not my wheelhouse.

This article is from 2011, but I just found it and am sharing it here because I find this an important topic that is almost never talked about. It is fairly lengthy, so I am only copying-pasting parts of it. I take the liberty to split paragraphs and add some bold in places to make it more readable, but I did not edit any of the text.

In the history of human vaccines, the numbers clearly show that in every case, the disease itself was already on the decline when the vaccine was introduced. Most vaccines were scarcely a blip on the radar, not affecting the natural decline of the disease at all. In a few unfortunate cases such as polio, the disease actually increased after vaccinations began. For example, when people contract measles, their overall immune system is strengthened in response to the mild challenge of this disease. (Death as a consequence of measles is generally seen only in undernourished populations.)

When doctors started routinely vaccinating children against measles, we started to see babies who contracted measles at a dangerously early age because their vaccinated mothers were not able to pass on immunity to them. And what was the medical community's solution to this dilemma? Vaccinate infants for measles even earlier!

Remember that humans are vaccinated only a few times in their lives, (although we can certainly see that Big Pharma is trying their best to see to it that this changes) whereas animals are so treated once or twice a year for their entire life. Most people with chronically ill animals believe the animals were already sick when they got them, but often we can trace their problems to the time of vaccination (or to their parents having been vaccinated).

It's true that vaccinosis (a condition which refers to a chronic disease pattern occurring after vaccination) does not afflict all vaccinated animals; some are lucky enough to have very strong immune systems. But if you or your animals have ever been affected by it, you'll never forget it. You take a risk every time you allow your animals, your children, or yourself to be vaccinated unnecessarily. Remember, it's your decision, unless the laws in your state complicate your freedom of choice.

Vaccination has become a highly charged subject in the news media of late and both doctors and individuals who challenge the concept are most often treated as if they were lepers. Entire reputations of certain individuals have been disgraced for their challenge of the vaccine issue. The facts are clear however in veterinary medicine that the way vaccines are typically used today are extremely dangerous and potentially one of the most harmful things we could do to our animals.

WHY DO WE VACCINATE OUR DOGS AND CATS? We vaccinate because we're afraid our animals will contract certain diseases. We've accepted annual vaccines without considering where that recommendation came from and what it really means. Most veterinarians recommend that cats, for example, receive a combination vaccine against panleukopenia (feline distemper), calicivirus, and rhinotracheitis (upper respiratory infections). Many also encourage injections for Chlamydia, feline leukemia (FeLV), feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV or feline AIDS), feline infectious peritonitis (FIP), and even ringworm. These vaccines are typically repeated every year for the cat's whole life, despite overwhelming scientific evidence that they are unnecessary. Since the vast majority of vaccines are unnecessary and even unsafe, more and more people are not getting their animals vaccinated at all. However, recent outbreaks of panleukopenia in cats are of great concern. Therefore some believe that no vaccines can be just as dangerous as too many vaccines; the basic kitten shots (panleukopenia and rabies) are still recommended by most experts, at least once, between 12-16 weeks of age.

“A practice that was started many years ago and that lacks scientific validity or verification is annual revaccinations. Almost without exception there is no immunologic requirement for annual revaccination.“

That practice, instead, emerged as a default judgement between the pharmaceutical companies making the vaccines, and the veterinarians. The vets wanted to get their patients in once a year for a check-up, and the vaccine makers wanted to sell more vaccines. Tying the annual physical to vaccines was a stroke of genius. It simplified life for veterinarians, who now only had to say "We'll see Fluffy next year for his shots" and send a postcard, and it made boatloads of money for the drug companies.

When this "suggestion" was added to vaccine labels, it added an air of "requirement" and ensured that the system would continue to make everyone happy. At the time, vaccines were considered benign and harmless -- so this lucrative state of affairs went unquestioned until the late 1980s, when vaccines began to be linked to injection-site cancers in cats.

Today, it is known that vaccines are not so harmless, and they are now considered a medical procedure like any other, with both risks and benefits. In order to realistically assess the situation and make wise decisions for our dogs and cats, we need to examine the big question on animal companions minds today. ARE VACCINES ACTUALLY SAFE? Conventional veterinarians consider a symptom or condition to be an adverse reaction only if it occurs within seventy-two hours of vaccination. Acute reactions are uncommon, but they can be extremely serious, and they can have long-lasting effects. Holistic veterinarians agree that symptoms of vaccine-induced diseases can occur any time during the life of our dogs and cats.

When vaccines were given between the shoulder blades, these cancers were inoperable and fatal because they would grow into the spine, ribcage, and chest. This became such a serious problem that it is now recommended to give cats the rabies vaccine in the right hind leg, and leukemia in the left hind leg -- so that when a tumor does develop, the whole leg can be amputated and thus the cat's life can be saved.

It is important to remember just who is paying the veterinarians bill. Your veterinarian works for you, it is a personal service they are rendering and you have the right to fire them and hire another!

my sister took her dog to the vet for his rabies vaccine and they saw a new vet at the practice instead of their usual and on their way out the receptionist was like, “[vet name] asked me to give this to you!” and handed my sister a little vial with tiny pellets of some homeopathic crap that’s supposed to help with vaccinosis (which this dog has never gotten in all his 12 years of life, because it’s not a real diagnosis) and my sister took it bc it was free. anyway i looked up the name on the label -- something completely opaque like “lyssinum” or smth --and it turns out it’s the saliva of a rabid dog.

so, like, thankfully homeopathic treatments are so diluted that none of the “”””medicine””” (i use that term lightly) is actually present in the pills, but still...............i don’t believe that woman went to veterinary school

#mine #i wouldn't trust her to even look at one of my animals oh my god

I was told by the Native American Earth angel woman who helped place Sashi, 12, (Husky, left) with us, that she is a healer. That she always knows when anyone needs some healing & would move right in to help. This is actually her first time ever lying next to Garçon, (Husky, 13, right), in her new home with us, just about 3 months now. She picked gluing herself to his lower back, transmitting & transmuting from her body to his; where he is still recovering his hip strength from the baby rattle snake bite & previous vaccinosis. Brilliant, courageous girl. 🤩🐕💜 Animals decide to dump their fear in order to respond to each other in powerfully healing ways. Could humanity, too? Yep!

Immune-Mediated Polyarthritis in Dogs

Immune-Mediated Polyarthritis (IMPA) is a relatively easy disease to understand, but what causes it can be confusing and affects the selection of treatment options.

What is IMPA?

Immune-mediated (aka autoimmune) conditions occur when the immune system is overactive and attacks the body in various ways. Hyperactive may be a more appropriate term because one part of the immune system is revved up and working in overdrive. Immune-mediated disorders have an underlying genetic predisposition, like they do in humans; this genotype association in affected dogs has recently been located on the DLA-79 allele (Dog Leukocyte Antigen) of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) system. Other factors predisposing to overactive immune system responses include environmental factors like vaccines, drugs, food, chemicals or drugs as well as stress situations that act as “triggers” of this immune response.

Polyarthritis is an inflammation of multiple joints.

In the case of IMPA, white blood cells (aka neutrophils) invade the joints of the body. They are not supposed to be there. They are supposed to be fighting bacteria and pathogens in the surrounding tissues. This causes swelling of the joints, pain, and difficulty walking or standing. Other symptoms may crop up, too, such as weight loss, anorexia, fever, fatigue and can affect the lymph nodes draining the inflamed areas.

Forms of IMPA

The veterinary community first categorizes IMPA into either erosive or non-erosive type. We can tell the difference between the two based on x-ray results. Basically, erosive IMPA shows evidence of cartilage and bone destruction in one or more joints, but the non-erosive type does not.

The bodily reaction to the white blood cells entering where they are not supposed to go is termed a type III hypersensitivity antibody response that is found in both erosive and non-erosive IMPA. However, erosive IMPA has the additional element of a type IV hypersensitivity, which is a cell-mediated response.

Erosive IMPA is often equated to rheumatoid arthritis in humans and is rare in dogs. In fact, it is reported in less than 1% of the total IMPA cases. Going forward in this article, I will address non-erosive IMPA.

Idiopathic Non-Erosive IMPA

Idiopathic means we do not know the underlying cause that is creating the IMPA. However, to confuse matters, we have seen strong correlations between IMPA and other diseases. We just do not know how one is affecting or causing the other. So, we still classify them as idiopathic.

Type I: No association with other diseases or triggers at this time.

Type II: Associated with infection or chronic inflammation that is remote from the joints.

Type III: Associated with gastrointestinal or hepatic (liver) disease.

Type IV: Associated with neoplasia (abnormal growth of tissue that could be cancerous) separate from the joints.

Disease Associated Non-Erosive IMPA

Now, we have diseases that we know produce IMPA and have a direct connection. So, IMPA is not the primary disease, but the secondary problem or is concurrent with them.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) – A multiple organ immune-mediated disease that often provokes IMPA or other immune-mediated conditions such as hemolytic anemia or thrombocytopenia (deficiency of blood platelets).

Polyarthritis-meningitis syndrome – A syndrome in which steroid-responsive meningitis and arteritis (inflammation of the meninges and arteries that responds to steroid therapy) occurs with polyarthritis.

Polyarthritis-polymyositis syndrome – A canine non-SLE syndrome of IMPA and polymyositis (degeneration of muscle tissue in several areas of the body).

Breed-Specific Non-Erosive IMPA

Thus far, researchers have identified two breed-specific forms of IMPA.

Polyarthritis in Akitas – May occur at the same time as meningitis or other conditions. It is rare but appears to affect adolescent Akitas. More on this subject later…

Chinese Shar-Pei Fever or Swollen Hock Syndrome – Autosomal recessive disease, which means both parents must have the recessive gene to create a dominant one. Amyloids (protein fragments) are accumulating throughout the body, which can lead to kidney and liver failure. Intermittent bouts of IMPA and fever are also symptoms. Please note: neither parent should ever be used for breeding again.

Drug-Induced Non-Erosive IMPA

Many drugs have been shown to induce IMPA and several other conditions. Phenobarbital and antibiotics (particularly sulfonamides) have been the main culprits. The IMPA reaction is usually delayed by 5-20 days after starting treatment. However, pet caregivers should be aware that each successive prescription heightens the possibility of inducing these conditions. So, if your companion dog did not have a reaction the first time with – let’s say to a penicillin – it does not mean he will not with the next same prescription.

Vaccine-Induced Non-Erosive IMPA

Of all the identified categories of IMPA, the veterinary profession generally recognizes only one environmental trigger: medications. Indeed, when IMPA is secondary to the other conditions listed above, we have strong theories about what constant environmental onslaught(s) or singular trigger is initiating them. However, the effects of vaccines as triggers – to this day – are often swept under the rug. As I always say, we can remove the drugs or change diets, but we cannot remove the chronic effects of vaccines (termed vaccinosis).

Remember, I just mentioned polyarthritis in Akitas. Dr. Susan Wynn and I studied eight affected puppies: five were closely related; and, three were male and the rest females. Initial signs of IMPA appeared 3 to 29 days following vaccination with polyvalent MLV or killed virus or both, with a mean reaction time of 14 days.

The dogs consistently exhibited cyclic febrile illness (fever) with signs of severe pain, usually related to the joints. Most of the dogs had elevated hepatic (liver) enzymes, creatine kinase (inflammation of the muscles), and blood urea nitrogen. Screening for rickettsial diseases was negative. (Rickettsial diseases are not the vitamin D deficiency, rickets, but are bacterial infections that cause typhus or spotted fevers.) Complete blood count tests revealed mild non-regenerative anemia, neutrophilic leukocytosis, and occasional thrombocytopenia. Joint aspiration and radiography of three dogs indicated non-septic, non-erosive arthritis. Juvenile IMPA in Akitas is a syndrome distinct from the noninfectious, non-neoplastic polyarthritis that is seen in other breeds, and it is heritable. The mechanism of disease development has not been elucidated, but it shares several features with the inherited Chinese Shar-Pei Fever syndrome.

Despite treatment for immune-mediated disease and pyrexia (raised body temperature), all eight dogs had relapsing illness and died or were euthanized by 2 years of age from progressive systemic amyloidosis and renal failure. Necropsies were performed on three dogs, two of which had glomerular amyloidosis and widespread evidence of vasculitis (inflammation of the blood vessels).

The history, signs and close association with immunization suggested that juvenile onset polyarthritis and subsequent amyloidosis in these Akitas likely was an autoimmune response triggered by the viral antigens or other components of the vaccines.

Since the modern Akita arose from a relatively small gene pool, understanding the potential environmental triggers of juvenile onset IMPA has immediate importance. Numerous agents have been implicated, including drugs, vaccines, viruses, bacteria, chemicals, and other toxins. Although the littermates from affected families typically end up in different locales, all undergo relatively standardized immunization procedures at a similar age.

Dr. Wynn and I are not the only ones who have found connections between IMPA and vaccines. Through a variety of diagnostic tests that ruled out other types of arthritis and comparing to other arthritic dogs, Bell et al. discovered that dogs with IMPA had significantly higher canine distemper antibodies circulating in their blood.

Treatment

Treatment varies with IMPA if it is present as a primary disease or not. If you suspect your dog is showing signs of arthritis of any form such as osteoarthritis, I highly recommend getting an accurate diagnosis because the treatment protocols will be different and will entail a fine immune balancing act that will need to be under a veterinarian’s supervision. Additionally, please do not give immune boosters including vaccines to a dog with any immune-mediated disease without the expressed consent of your veterinarian. If in doubt, please contact a veterinary immunologist or us at Hemopet.

Cat Gingivitis – Two Natural Ways to Resolve it

Cat gingivitis is more and more common all the time. But what’s interesting is, cats in the wild don’t suffer from gingivitis—if they did, they would quickly die because they wouldn’t be able to feed themselves without the veterinary care that domesticated cats enjoy.

So, in order to determine the best cures and treatments for cat gingivitis, this is the direction we need to be looking in.

What is cat gingivitis?

To put it simply, cat gingivitis is inflammation of the gums. It can occur at any age in any breed. Not only is cat gingivitis a painful problem, but it is also a big blinking sign letting you know that the overall health of your cat is not what it should be.

It’s also an indicator that the teeth are going to be a problem as well, sooner or later. They could loosen and then fall out.

Cat gingivitis sounds pretty grim. And the truth is, it is unnecessary pain and suffering that your cat doesn’t need to go through. With the following two measures, you can prevent cat gingivitis or else restore balance if it is already progressing.

Are you interested in learning how to really communicate with your pets, so you improve life quality for them and for you? Click here to check out all of my online courses, and get started now!

Two natural ways to prevent cat gingivitis

The first thing any natural health professional will try to do is restore a healthy immune system in your pet. Once balance is established in the whole system, everything else will slip back into a natural order, including your cat’s dental health.

Diet

One of the main causes of cat gingivitis is diet.

Diet is critical to everyone’s health, not just humans. Human diets can be shoddy at best, but at least there are some basic laws in place that govern the manufacturing and marketing of human food.

Unfortunately, these regulations do not exist in pet food; the pet food market is a free-for-all, and anything can, and does, occur. For example:

preservatives that are highly toxic, despite any claims on the packet

high-fat products that are unusable in human food

low-grade meat by-products (rejects from human consumption, with questionable protein content)

cheap filler such as melamine, sugar or crushed nutshells

Please don’t think the processed food recommended by your veterinarian is any better. It’s not. Veterinarians have little formal training in cat nutrition, and are often swayed by cat food manufacturers to promote their food as a way to boost their practice’s revenue.

Go raw!

On the other hand quality, raw meat and bones provide a cat with complete and balanced nutrition. Crunching up small raw bones keeps their teeth clean, their gums healthy and their minds happy. Dry food doesn’t come close to achieving this, despite any claims otherwise.

The truth is, cats on this diet rarely suffer from gingivitis.

Mercurius

While you are transitioning to a quality raw diet, your pet might need some immediate help with their cat gingivitis. The homeopathic medicine Mercurius can be used successfully in restoring healthy gums when the cat’s symptoms include:

red and swollen gums

the mouth appears dirty

excess salivation

ulceration may or may not be present

symptoms are worse at night

Be Aware of the Connection Between Cat Gingivitis and Vaccinosis

Vaccinations and over vaccinating can be an underlying systemic and chronic cause of gingivitis and cat gum diseases. Until your cat has a healthy mouth, it’s a good idea to pause on their vaccinations. In fact, one of the reasons using the homeopathic Mercurius works so well is that it helps neutralize vaccinosis problems.

It can be awful watching your beloved friend suffer from cat gingivitis. If you try these two natural solutions, you can help to prevent cat gingivitis from happening, and save yourself lots of time and money at the veterinarian’s office!
