greytpups Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Too small of a sample to warrant any merit. jmho Quote Jan with precious pups Emmy (Stormin J Flag) and Simon (Nitro Si) and Abbey Field.

My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greysmom Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 We see it all the time here on GT. People who either refuse to use tested and approved drugs (particularly for anxiety, pain relief, or other "non-physical" issues), or who ask if it's really necessary to get a rabies shot, or who use "natural" remedies for pest/parasite control. Even those folks who insist on titers for testing immunity can be part of this population. As someone who almost lost a dog to a bad vaccine reaction, I still look for reason to *increase* my dogs' resistance to diseases rather than trust to luck we won't ever encounter a particular problem. There has to be a good medical reason for me to not give my dogs recommended vaccines. Though I have a discussion with my vet every year for my seniors (10 years old plus) annual shots, and at some point, we usually decide to stop them. Tangentially, in my area of the country, we have one of the highest rates of vaccine refusal for school age children. Even though there have been several meaningful outbreaks of both measles and chicken pox in the past ten years. This has prompted local governments to tighten the reasons parents can use to not vaccinate their kids. You can imagine the uproar. In some ways, I think vaccines have done their job too well. Most folks nowadays don't have any direct experience losing someone to a communicable disease, since they've mostly been eradicated in the US, so they don't see the need for continued prophylactic vaccination. It's the same for their pets.
