FYI great information if you don't want to vaccinate your dog because they are older, ill, etc and your County doesn't accept Titers.
đ¨ MEDICAL EXEMPTION WAIVER
Below is a factual explanation as to how your dog or cat qualifies for a âmedical exemption waiverâ and how to request one from the Veterinarian.
American Veterinary Medical Association own guidelines below for what qualifies your dog or cat for a Medical Exemption Waiver.( In most states, you will still have to pay for your tag ).
We now have an autoimmune disease epidemic and cancer epidemic in our pet population. 1 in 2 dogs now die from cancer, a statistic that did not exist 40 years ago, according to Veterinarian Dr Karen Becker, DVM.
ANY medical issue and your dog is considered âNOT a well pet,â which allows your dog or cat, a âmedical exemption waiverâ from the mandated rabie vaccination.
Examples of medical issues are cancer, a severe adverse reaction to the rabie vaccine, or any other vaccine, a dog that suffers from seizures, allergies, any autoimmune disease like Type 1 Diabetes, Cushingâs disease, Addisonâs disease, Hypothyroidism, IBD, and senior dogs/old age, just to name a few examples of what qualifies your dog for a âmedical exemption waiverâ because they now have a âcompromised immune systemâ and the vaccination may endanger your dogâs life because it will âfurther weaken your dogs immune system,â which could also cause your dog to develop additional autoimmune diseases.
All the Veterinarian needs to do is write a medical exemption waiver to the county that you live in. If your Veterinarian isnât forthcoming and informs you that your dog (or cat), qualifies for a medical exemption waiver, you need to ârequestâ it. Print this up and give a copy of this to your Veterinarian.
đ¨ In all the pamphlets/inserts that come with every vial of vaccines that Veterinarians receive, it states, { FOR HEALTHY DOGS, CATS ONLY }.
đ¨ On the American Veterinary Medical
Association website it clearly states the following:
The American Veterinary Medical Association recognizes some animalâs might require a medical exemption waiver from the mandated rabie vaccination because the vaccination may endanger the animals life.â
