Bordetella (Kennel Cough)
This is a list of vaccine reactions that can happen immediately following vaccination and some do not present themselves until later in life:
COMMON REACTIONS:
Lethargy, hair loss, hair color change at the injection site, fever, soreness, stiffness, refusal to eat, conjunctivitis, sneezing, oral ulcer
Moderate Reaction-------------------------->>>>>>
SEVERE REACTIONS TRIGGERED BY VACCINES:
Vaccine injection site sarcomas, anaphylaxis, arthritis, polyarthritis, HOD (hypertrophy osteodystrophy), autoimmune hemolytic anemia, immune mediated thrombocytopenia (IMTP), hemolytic disease of the newborn (neonatal isoerythrolysis), thyroiditis, glomerulonephritis, disease or enhanced disease which with the vaccine was designed to prevent, myocarditis, post vaccinal encephalitis or polyneuritis, seizures, abortion, congenital anomalies, embryonic/fetal death, failure to conceive.
KENNEL COUGH (BORDETELLA)
The Disease as the name suggests ,this disease is thought to be a result of the overcrowding and stress produced by boarding many dogs together in close proximity. In addition to stress, the bordetella bacteria is commonly associated with infection, but as with the human influenza, a broad range of microorganisms and mutations appear to be involved. An irritated, dry and persistent cough are the typical symptoms of this condition. Kennel cough is almost always self limiting.
Treatment Options:
Normally no intervention is necessary, due to the mild symptoms of kennel cough.
REASONS TO VACCINATE FOR KENNEL COUGH:
Anecdotal evidence the vaccine is effective.
Dog owners choose the vaccination so they can use boarding kennels & doggie daycare.
REASONS NOT TO VACCINATE FOR KENNEL COUGH:
Because of the various environmental and microbial causes of this disease, the kennel cough is not a vaccine preventable disease. (Ronald Schultz)
The disease is mild and self limiting.
There are alternatives to boarding kennels and training centers that require kennel cough. Pet sitters are often inexpensive and in-home training is always available. There are also many progressive facilities that will accept pets without kennel cough vaccination.
Like other modified live vaccines, the kennel cough vaccine has been known to create the disease it was intended to prevent.
The risk of Vaccine Induced Autoimmune Disease and the severity of its symptoms are greater than the risk and severity of kennel cough.
The kennel cough vaccine can cause pneumonia.
The Kennel Cough Nosode; Although a range of remedies have been successfully employed in the prevention of this condition such as Drosera and Ignatia, the kennel cough nosode has been shown to be very effective and has impressive results, as obtained by DVM Christopher Day in his clinical trials measuring the use of the nosode during a kennel cough outbreak. The results shows minor symptoms were expressed by 42.5% of the dogs, with 59.7% of vaccinated dogs showing minor symptoms, compared to 26.7% of unvaccinated dogs. This study shows that nosodes can be effective in disease prevention, and when dogs do contract disease, the severity of symptoms can be reduced with their use.
