Find me this Dodds guy in a respectable journal publishment and not Dr. Google and I'll be more inclined to listen. Anyone can put something on the internet, not everyone can get something published, in a legit journal at least. <insert "no way such an edgy scientist will get published in today's scientific world" conspiracy theory here>
And again, I do not doubt that vaccinations last longer than a year, or three years even, hell, I
know they do. But we can only use what the USDA allows us to use, and that's what's been done in studies. Study's that ARE funded by vaccine companies. They have a vested interest in proving their product works to some degree, they're required to, as much as you might like to think they can just slap any old product on the market.
And in California, Colorado, and Kansas IIRC this is not the case.
Edit: Nevermind, the California case got
overturned, which, believe it or not, is a good thing. Vets often have to work within people's budgets and can't give the so-called 'Cadillac Package' every time, so it really is innane to be able to sue for emotional damages when it could've been prevented by running pre-op bloodwork, that was declined due to expense, before the surgery.
Vet scare talk? Really? Sigh....I'm not even going to debate with you any more, this is ridiculous.
You have to be licensed to buy vaccines. What happens is the vaccines/products on 'grey area' websites are 'diverted product', meaning that the website contacts a vet, the vet sells the website the product they ordered, and then the website sells it online. This is illegal and the vet, if rooted out, can lose her license. Very much a grey area.
And yet we've had it happen three times. Owner comes in "I don't know what's wrong, he's lost feeling in that leg after we gave him a vaccination at home!" "How'd you do it?" "We just stuck it in, that's what y'all do right?"
You need to find a better vet then.
Shoot the vets I worked under for the bulk of my experience weren't AAHA accredited and they did exams on every patient that came in that door. She just has a crappy vet.
But likely they wouldn't be happy with an AAHA vet either because those are inherently more expensive.
