More on the over-vaccination debate:
Necessary or not? Some veterinarians and pet owners are questioning vaccinations By REBECCA T. DICKSON Monitor staff June 12. 2005 8:00AM A Labrador retriever in Maine developed a cancerous tumor. In South Carolina, a Basenji broke out in sores and nearly died. And a Los Angeles couple spent $6,000 on veterinary bills after their dog, Nikki, became violently ill.
