PROTECH DURAMUNE C4
Two weeks ago I had my six week old litter of pups vaccinated with the new modified version of PROTECH DURAMUNE C4 and nearly lost all of them, one little boy died. I have since been talking to people in Victoria who have had problems with this new version of the vaccine. I believe there have been quite a few litters in Victoria that have experienced the same problems. The only thing the company will say is "...there has been a problem with a small number of pups... " but they are saying the other problems are not connected to the vaccine. The company says that reaction to the vaccine is over in a couple of days and anything after that is not connected. I have been told of a couple of people losing half of their litters after vaccination with this new version. What seems to be happening is that the reaction is so severe that the pups immune systems are depressed to the stage that they cannot cope with anything else that would normally not bother them and that leaves them open to severe depression, bowel bacteria or pneumonia or Coccidiosis parasites which cause massive dysentery and dehydration and then death. This can hit 5-10 days after vaccination so most vets are not connecting it and only now are some realising that the connection is there as it is happening too often. This vaccine is pretty new and a lot of vets are still using up supplies of the older version and have not used the new one so far. Believe me after the last two weeks it is not something I would wish anyone else to go through, I fought like **** to pull mine through, 2 on the drip at the vets and no sleep for 3 days to keep the others rehydrated, not to mention the vet bills at the end of it all. Please talk to your vets about this as a lot of them have not started to use this new version yet and pass this on to everyone you can think of in the dog world. If enough people refuse to use this vaccine they may pull it off the market and save a lot of suffering for our pets and ourselves. It would be good to get a list of people who have had a problem after using this vaccine to present to the company that makes it. Please email me with your details on this matter. |
