Can dogs have autism

Comments

• You do realize that the "vaccinations = autism" theory was disproved, right? The guy who did the study lied...
  
  People who don't vaccinate are the reason that diseases are still spreading. I was vaccinated 25 years ago, and I am fully functional. I bet your doctor was vaccinated too... Conspiracy theorists...

• I don't see where I suggested that vaccines can cause autism in DOGS. Actually our family doctor's son was vaccinated and THEN developed Autism...so Our doctor DOES believe there is a link between Vaccines and Autism. What I think you are failing to consider is that NOT EVERYONE WILL HAVE a negative reaction to a particular vaccine, anymore than EVERYONE is allergic to nuts, or strawberries or dairy products, or polyester clothes. Some will and some will not.
  
  Also, once vaccinated, the first time....new memory cells are created. Subsequent vaccines DO NOT CREATE MORE OR NEW MEMORY CELLS...you already have them and that's all there is to it...you don't get more! Did you bother to research at all, or do you just drink the Kool Aid and drop quietly dead?

• Autism in dogs absolutely exists. If it can in humans, it can in animals. Why not? Who can disprove it or prove it? The cause might be genetic, environmental, from vaccines, or something else. The mandatory use of the Rabies vaccine in the US on dogs and follow up boosters that DO NOTHING other than dismantle the health of our animals should be outlawed. Titer tests prove immunity. Why won't our Government accept them instead. Europe has proven without a doubt that the Rabies vaccine immunity can last up to 9 years in an animal. Immunity is like pregnancy - either you are or you are not. More of the same will not produce a different result. My dog Harleigh was a normal little puppy until he had his Rabies vaccine. Over the course of a few months to a year he changed. He can only be touched in certain areas, chest and maybe on top of his head. He cannot associate the outside with peeing. When he poops he runs away from it and screams. He will bite anyone including myself if he does not want to be touched, but we never yell at him for he is pure love and pure love comes in many forms. He has taught me to be in the moment as he steps outside and looks with utter amazement at a blade of grass, a snail, a butterfly. His eyes soak up the world everyday like it was his first time outside and maybe his last. He can be in a crowd of big dogs and hold his own. He is fierce and timid, bold and simple. You would have to vaccinate me before I would ever vaccinate my animals against something they have NO CHANCE whatsoever of getting. The last case of rabies transmitted from dog to dog in San Diego was 1964. Seems we have this one under control folks. And remember, this is a world where anything is possible and where the largest purchaser of vaccines is in actuality the US Government. Vaccines have their place, but not above education and free will.
