Guess what?! There is a miracle cure for parvovirus but it’s not what youtube and natural health bloggers would have you believe. It’s not feeding them charcoal, colloidial silver, homeopathic vaccines, capsules full of faeces from a dog that currently has parvo, oregano, garlic… not even a raw food diet.
It’s vaccinating your fucking puppy.
Reblogging since we’ve euthanased at least 20 dogs in the last two weeks due to a positive parvo test 😭😭😭 please vaccinate your puppies!!
Wait, are you telling me the anti-vax crowd has moved on to pets now? What are they afraid of, a rise of feline autism?
Antivaxers are literally the stupidest group of people possible, so they probably are.
no but one of the things I witnessed as a little vet tech intern doing rotation was a frustrated tech trying to convince an older woman to let the clinic give her adult dog his annual rabies vaccine (a required vaccination for reasons of public safety), which she was refusing to do because “what proof can you show me that these weird drugs won’t make my dog autistic??”
and a week later, another woman shying away from the parvo vaccine for her puppy because “you just hear all sorts of horror stories about vaccines these days, you know?”
also, when I was looking up my state’s rabies vaccination laws just now while writing my addition to this post, one of the first things to pop up was an article for pet owners about “tips on how to avoid ALL vaccines!!”
so, yes. yes, the antivaxxers have moved on to pets, people are now afraid of “autism” in dogs & cats, and it is it brain-meltingly stupid, not to mention dangerous for everyone.
