Nosodes

Has anyone ever used nosodes instead of vaccines for their dogs/cats/bunnies? I have issues with vaccines but use them due to the scare factor. I'm scared to try them in case they don't work even though it seems like it would be a better option.
 
I think an old member on here used homeopathic vaccines on her bunnies and they later went on to catch, and die from, VHD :cry::cry:.
 
I wouldn't risk it. It's not like either are similar to flu in humans (i.e. you get it, you're pretty ill but chances are you'll get better). They are the equivalent of ebola & in VHD it is the bunny version of ebola. Both Mixi & VHD mount such an attack on the body that there is no hope of surviving without vaccination, therefore homeopathic remedies would probably have about as much effect as wishful thinking.
 
A good friend of mine, now deceased :cry: :cry: used nosodes.
She had a VHD outbreak and lost several Rabbits :cry:

IMO using nosodes is the same as not vaccinationg
 
Okay...No nosodes for us:shock: I'm glad I asked on here first, you guys are great!:) I had never heard any downside to using them but I wasn't looking in the right places apparently.:roll: I really appreciate the information, and so do my critters! It is hard to make decisions sometimes when you want what is best for your fur kids.
