Fuque these crumble brained asswipe failures. When a pet or dependent person’s death occurs from a PREVENTABLE DISEASE bcs someone decided to not vaccinate, that should be at best, considered negligent homicide, if not intentional infliction of death; when the decision was their own, insurance companies should deny payouts, just as they can for suicide.
Side note; death is not the only permanent result that can happen from these infections - chronic infections, lifelong disabilities, and related diseases that appear years later (ie, polio reoccurrence, or shingles).
As a dog owner I'm willing to bet that a lot of this is because the cost of vet care has basically like tripled.
I delayed getting my dog his parvo vaccine this year, purely due to cost. He got his other shots plus his tick meds, plus his heartworm meds. That, along with a physical, was not a cheap bill.
Also please don't say that being disabled is worse than death.
Vets fret as private equity snaps up clinics, pet care : Some states already have laws that prohibit non-veterinarians from owning veterinary practices, and some consumer advocates want states to review large-scale acquisitions in the industry.
The costs for vet school are the same as for human medical school. My son will graduate with over $450,000 in school loan debt after 8 years of schooling. $400,000 of that is JUST vet school. Vet school is also harder to get accepted to than regular medical school (there aren’t many Vet schools). THIS is why the cost of vet care is crazy.
While it is true that the cost of vet school is freaking insane, actually don't think that's the reason why it's so expensive right now
Corporate owning of all of the vet clinics that employ these veterinarians seem to have a much bigger impact on the actual cost that we feel. These vets can no longer go into practices together, they basically have to sell their souls to corporations who control everything including the costs. Pharmacies have done this too. It's a huge problem. Ultimately the insane cost of at school is just hurting the actual vets themselves
It can survive indoors for months and outdoors it can live for months to years, especially in dark, moist environments.
Parvo can be easily spread by fomites, which are objects such as a doorknob or pet fur that can be contaminated by a virus. Dog-to-dog contact is not required for susceptible dogs to become infected. Dogs can become infected from contact with the remaining virus where an infected dog has been, or on objects an infected dog has used, or even from shoes and clothing carrying the virus.
Half of these morons are listening to Internet Influenzas telling them the germ theory of disease is wrong. Ain’t no bottom to the stupid swamp.
Lot of people were up in arms when the Chinese govt started requiring internet influencers to show credentials in the subjects they were bloviating about — oooh censorship! Bad china! Evil China! But it sounded to me like basic harm reduction.
back during height of covid a food bank in my state that also gave pet food had less than half the usual clients when they started requiring rabies verification.
Why i am not surprised. If you don’t get vaccinated and you would not get your kids vaccinated that what hope is there for their animals. I guess we just have to wait until their self imposed herd thinning stops some of this madness. But they should loose custody of any kids or animals caught up in their insanity..
We lost a puppy to parvo. My parents couldn't afford the overnight hospital stay that may have saved her, she was dead by the morning.
It was so, so horrendous, years later I'm not fully over it. I cannot understand how anyone would be unwilling to vaccinate. I understand the cost, but pets are expensive - you need to be willing and able to take on some base level of cost, or not get one. And there are low-cost vaccination clinics around.

Hi- I agree the cost of vet care is crazy. There may be low cost resources available (local shelter in my area).
The costs for vet school are the same as for human medical school. My son will graduate with over $450,000 in school loan debt after 8 years of schooling. $400,000 of that is JUST vet school. Vet school is also harder to get accepted to than regular medical school (there aren’t many Vet schools). THIS is why the cost of vet care is crazy.

My apologies for not being clearer; I edited my comment to read, “… death is not the only permanent result that can happen from these infections…”
Fuque? I think you mean FUCK THESE IDIOTS.
All it takes is one dog park and an infected dog.

What are they even scared of? That their pets catch autism?
Believe it or not, yes....some of them actually are. I think that maybe there has been a few e samples here.
My dog just got 3 vaccine boosters
Nothing is sadder than watching a puppy die of parvo. I’ve seen some of these people advocate against RABIES vaccines.
back during height of covid a food bank in my state that also gave pet food had less than half the usual clients when they started requiring rabies verification.
I worked as a veterinary technician 30+ years ago and we had an ISO room for parvo patients. And yep, it was so, so sad.
Wtf are they even scared of? Dog autism?
Dogtism?
I volunteered at an animal refuge during a massive parvo outbreak - it was carnage. 😢
I worked at a vet clinic where we had an entire litter of puppies battling parvo. It was depressing af.
Out of 12, 1 survived- barely.
