Re: Request advice on new puppy

So what was the expression on the vet's face after he saw that thimerosol *was*

in the shots?

I stopped giving my cat vaccinations years ago but I think she was already

damaged. She has a very excitable temperment, very timid around other cats,

and sometimes her head will twitch when she's just sititng still. The only

time she will let me hold her is right after I get out of the shower and then

only for a very short period of time. Bizarre. Any ideas? Can you safely

chelate a cat?

On another note, when I had a steel rod removed from my back last summer, I

asked the anestesiologist if there was any thermosol sp? in the anastetic sp?

and he didn't know what it was. Then he got " the expert " and this cocky guy

gets on the phone and I rephrased it to mercury and he said he was 95% sure it

didn't have any in it. This was at a very " prestigious " hospital in NYC. I

had the surgery anyway, but kinda scary how little these so called experts

know.

Hello,

I took my dog about 3 months ago to the vet and specifically asked

about thimerosol and after looking at me like I was a freak he went

and checked the label and said that only the rabies and distemper

parvo combo were the only ones that did not. Of course we don't know

what brand each office uses so it is probably best to ask the vet. I

know they recommended that I get about 5 others and when I found out

about the thimerosol I refused and proceeded to tell him that

thimerosol was toxic and he should look for other shots. Anyway, just

an FYI from my vets office.

Look around some vets are very knowledgable about the vaccine issues.

I know vets have used ALA for liver poisoning, but wonder how to dose it?

I am wondering is ALA would work. It must.

I'd use Tryptophan without any hesitation to help calm the puppy.

As far as poisons, what ones are you talking about?

Why not exactly like for our kids... 1/8 to 1/2 mg per pound, every 3

hours...

You should have seen the looks of ignorance I got at JH when I took my child

there regarding her problems because of mercury poisoning & vaccines.. And

when I started to inform the young residents (some were very interested) they

were paged away. Several told me they wanted to learn more but amazingly

never returned after that page. They must have been really busy!! I hope

all the ones I spoke to had the courage to look further into the issues on

their own afterward. I can hope.
