Canine Adenovirus
The Puppy Vaccine Controversy

What is Adenovirus and How Dangerous is it Anyway?

Canine Adenovirus is a name given for several viral strains affecting the upper respiratory system. Usually no more dangerous than the common cold in humans, why on earth do we vaccinate for it?

Canine Hepatitis

As in humans, hepatitis creates inflammation of the liver. If the liver doesn't work properly, the entire body is affected. The canine adenovirus vaccine also prevents hepatitis in dogs. However, DOG HEPATITIS is no longer a problem.

So why on earth are our dogs still receiving this vaccine as a core vaccine when it is suppose to prevent some colds and a disease that has been nearly eradicated? Big hairy deal. (This subject brings out the pubescent language in me.)

The Shot

Considered a core vaccine, it's given in a polyvalent vaccine along with DISTEMPER and parvo virus. Why is it considered so important? We need to pay attention! We are over-vaccinating and seeing more and more vaccine side effects.

The Cure for Adenovirus

Like the cure for the common cold in humans, you start with:

To speed things up you can add any of the following since they all have natural antibiotic properties:

All of these things listed are natural immune enhancing products that cure without side effects. If you don't have this in your kitchen or medicine chest, you should. I've never gotten in the habit of using propolis myself but I haven't been without a good quality Vitamin C, raw garlic, organic liquid goldenseal or organic liquid echinacea in twenty years.

I swear by them. In fact, you couldn't pay me to take an over the counter medicine like a decongestant, anti-inflammatory, or antihistamine because they don't cure a thing! I don't want to stop side effects for myself or my dogs. I only want cures!
