Vaccination at Maple Street Vet
Primary Puppy & Kitten Vaccinations
First, it’s important to understand how the young immunological naïve puppies and kittens acquire their immunological protection.
- Maternal antibodies from Colostrum milk that last for 12 weeks.
- Acquired immunity from infections if they survive the infection.
- Vaccination.
Thus, vaccination is to protect animals from severe illnesses that cause death. However, the old paradigms of years gone by of treating every animal the same is no longer valid in today’s world. We can accurately and scientifically test to see if an animal has immunity after one or two vaccinations instead of blindly following a three-course injection of vaccinations.
Thus, we test after the first vaccination and if immunity is acquired from the first vaccination then no other vaccinations are necessary until such time the immunity wanes. Yes, some puppies and kittens come up with negative titres after the first vaccine – but at least that allows us to understand the second vaccination is vital. There are risks associated with vaccination.
We always perform a second immunity or titre test after 16 weeks to confirm that the puppy or kitten has their own immunity from the vaccine and that maternal antibodies are no longer playing a role.
Booster Vaccinations
We rather advice titre tests and if immunity to these diseases has waned then it is important to discuss with owners the likelihood of the disease in their individual circumstance. There are risks associated with vaccination. If the individual’s circumstance is that vaccination is required, then a booster vaccination will be offered – but its entirely the owner’s option to what course of action is followed.
The vaccination process at Maple Street Vet
- A physical exam is performed – only healthy animals are vaccinated.
- An energetic exam is performed – energy imbalances are rectified, and life-style changes are suggested mostly to do with diet changes.
- A homeopathic remedy of the vaccine is administered orally at the time of vaccination. This is akin to someone knocking on the front door before entering the house as the immune system’s front door is the oronasal route.
- Vaccination.
- Post vaccination music of the vaccine at frequencies that aid the removal of retained signals of the vaccine that potentially could lead to chronic health conditions.
Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee even with this modified approach to vaccination that undue effects will occur, but it is the best that we can offer with our current understanding. Vaccination remains the only known current method of protection against severe fatal infectious disease and as such we do recommend vaccination for fatal diseases.
Healthcare Plans
Traditional health care plans are effective at preventing illnesses and disease, but they can come at a cost - in particular, with long-term side effects of using poisons. As such, we offer natural prevention methods where possible. However, natural methods are not guaranteed to work, which is why we monitor with frequent testing. Our natural healthcare plan includes:
- a titre test once a year
- heartworm tests twice a year
- faecal testing four times a year
- natural methods of control of fleas, ticks, worms, and heartworm
- Unlimited free consultations during office hours
- 10% discount on services and products
Please note: if you would prefer to give your pet chemical alternatives, we are happy to accommodate this and offer monthly plans for the chemical prevention.
