[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 465926, member: 852"] Vaccines [i]stress[/i] (not [i]stimulate[/i]) the immune system. Illness stresses the immune system. Vaccinating a sick animal means stressing an already stressed immune system. You want to push the calf over the edge? While there are instances where it has been found to be successful to vaccinate a [u][i]chronic[/i][/u] animal, you will never find anyone with any training (vets) suggesting a sick, non-chronic, animal be vaccinated. Your decisions are only as good as the information you base them on. [/QUOTE]
