Guest guest Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Thanks for posting this. I have had several dogs die from reactions to vaccinations and I just had one dog die from Advantix. After using it twice on him, his red blood cell count went down suddenly and he was gone in a week. Also talk about how vets hold back on information that would put less stress on pet owners like this " And more importantly, a little known fact is this: " Heartgard™, or its active ingredient ivermectin, if given once a month to a known infected dog for 18 months will cure an animal of the infection. " When I called my vet and wanted to buy heartguard for my dogs (mosquitos are year round), the doctor told me that first I had to bring each dog in for an office visit and get each one tested for heartworms. I told them that if I did that, I wouldn't be able to afford the heartguard. The heartguard is so expensive and it costs $70 for the visit and test. If any of my dogs are heartworm positive, at least putting them on Heartguard right away will solve the problem in 18 months but the vets don't even tell you this and want to rip you off first. jlk , MedResearch <MedResearch121 wrote: > > Health: Bottom Line Blurs Veterinary Practices > Imagine if every time you went to the doctor you were given vaccinations that you don't need; vaccinations that offer no benefit but all of the risks of harmful side effects.
