We would like to express our support for Rep. Peter Rines’ pet vaccine disclosure bill.
As pet care professionals and as pet owners we have seen firsthand the tragic effects of vaccine reactions and overvaccination.
Our own golden retriever had a severe reaction to a rabies vaccine, causing aggression toward our other dogs as well as causing an obsessive-compulsive disorder. Our veterinarian feels these behavioral changes were a direct result of a reaction to her rabies vaccine.
This reaction not only affected our retriever, but also our Pekinese which lost an eye as a result of an unprovoked attack.
Our retriever’s immune system has also been compromised; she is slowly destroying her thyroid gland and has a rare eye disorder, which many veterinarians believe is a direct result of overvaccination.
Happily, we were able to treat her and resolve the behavioral problems, but we get anxious every time she is due for a rabies vaccine. Unfortunately, her immune system is damaged for life.
There is ample scientific evidence to support this bill. Two of the worlds leading veterinary vaccine research scientists, Dr. Ronald Schulz of the University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine, and Dr. Richard Ford of the North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine, are assisting Rines in drafting the legislation.
If you have pets, we encourage you to write to your legislators to express your support for this bill.
Anyone who truly loves animals will support this bill.
