So does World Small Animal Veterinary Association (WSAVA). Both state that duration of immunity with MLV CPV-2, CDV and CAV-2 vaccines is 7 years. Over-vaccination can make dogs and cats very sick. It can even make them die…

What are the views of the forum members on this aspect?

My pet, Royal German Spitz, male, 13 years seems to be suffering as a result of such over-vaccination resulting in acceleration of cataract/opacity of the eyes, immune-mediated polyarthritis of its hind legs, loss of muscle mass, urinary dribbling, and bowel incontinence. All this within three months of its last annual vaccination. It is still pulling along as an ultrasound and complete blood work shows no organ failure yet other than some calculi in the gallbladder partially blocking flow of bile into the intestines. Also, on our own volition on search on the internet we are giving it Bayer's animal supplement of glucosamine and chondritin with vitamin E in powder form, homeopathic eye drops Cineraria Maritima twice a day, and one tab each of Neurobion Forte and vitamin A.

There is no facility here to give address of relevant websites as attachments and the same cannot be included in this text as per forum rules. So one may Google for AAHA & WSAVA ]]> Pets and Animal Lovers jasbir http://www.indusladies.com/forums/pets-and-animal-lovers/76292-vaccination-of-pets.html Lizards, rodents, frog added to endangered list http://www.indusladies.com/forums/pets-and-animal-lovers/75883-lizards-rodents-frog-added-endangered.html Tue, 03 Nov 2009 04:46:10 GMT GENEVA – A rare tree frog found only in central Panama could soon croak its last, as deforestation and infection push the species toward extinction, an environmental group said Tuesday.

Switzerland-based IUCN surveyed a total of 47,677 animals and plants for this year's "Red List" of endangered species and determined that 17,291 of them are threatened with extinction.

"The only mammal to be added to the list this year is the Eastern Voalavo, a rodent that lives in the mountainous forests of Madagascar. IUCN classified it as "endangered" — two steps from extinction in the wild — because its habitat is being destroyed by slash-and-burn farming.

The Red List already includes species such as the tiger, of which only 3,200 are thought to exist in the wild and whose habitat in Asia is steadily shrinking due to encroachment by humans. The group added almost 300 reptiles this year, including the Panay monitor lizard and the sail-fin water lizard, both of which are hunted for food and threatened by logging in their native Philippines.

Some species have recovered thanks to conservation efforts, IUCN said. The Australian grayling, a freshwater fish, has graduated from "vulnerable" to "near threatened" thanks to fish ladders at dams and other protection measures, the group said.

But for many others conservation efforts are likely to come too late.

The Kihansi spray toad of southern Tanzania is now thought to be extinct in the wild. A dam upstream of the Kihansi Falls has dried up the gorge where it lived, and an aggressive fungal disease known as chytridiomycosis appears to have pushed the toad population over the edge, IUCN said.

The same fate could soon befall the unusually large Rabb's fringe-limbed tree frog, which glides through the forest using its big webbed feet to steer safely to the ground. It is the only known frog species where the tadpoles feed off skin shed by the male while he guards the young.

The chytrid fungus that causes chytridiomycosis reached central Panama in 2006, a year after scientists first discovered the tree frog. Since then the fungus — believed to be spread by international trade and global warming — has virtually wiped out the wild frog population.

"Only a single male has been heard calling since," IUCN said.

After reading this article, one thing is clear. We the humans str the main cause for their disappearance or the species to be on the endangered list, either directly or indirectly..

How sad it is!
