Question 1:
What happens on a first vet visit, re: vaccines, for an abandoned dog with history unknown? He did smell of cow poop when washed in a bath. We do know what he’s ate or been exposed to. Is there a way to check if he’s already had vaccines? I want to protect him from all unnecessary vaccines! We are a couple hours from a holistic vet and I’m seeking to empower myself before vet discussion.
Question 2:
Does vaccine shedding affect animals the same as humans? Ex: visits to a vet with vaccine presence &/or other animals freshly vaccinated? Do you have any holistic preventative suggestions for vaccine shedding for animals (or people)?
Question 3:
I heard, while researching local vets there’s live virus vaccines or vaccines with dead virus cells. What type do you recommend to protect animals from short or long term side effects?
Thank you for this form & community!
