<human>: Two weeks ago we had to get our dog, Chewy, get a vaccination as was required by a dog boarding place we will be using soon. He just turned 13 years old and was in really great shape with no problems to speak of at all. Within 1 week of receiving the vaccine (LeptoVax4), he developed autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA), lost 3 lbs in 4 days and received his terminal diagnosis for the following weekend. In 1.5 weeks, my dog had to be put down. It wasn't until after we started talking about how all of this was way too much of a coincidence that Chewy died right after his vaccinations. After doing some research on all of his vaccinations, it was revealed that Leptovax is responsible for dogs developing AIHA. We got Chewy's records on the day of vaccination and discovered that he was given 1ml of it in one dose. They should have given him multiple doses on different days for his smaller older body to process. No vet discriminates between large dogs and small dogs when it comes to the dosage of this vaccine apparently (according to our research). What the hell? Why would you not give a smaller dose to a smaller dog?.... especially when they are 13 years old??

I live in a Texas and upon consulting with an attorney, I was told that pets are considered "property" and thus only have around $200 in value. So if you lose a pet to wrongful death, it is difficult to prove and not worth your time and money to seek the legal route. Our hands and tied but we really don't care to sue. We would rather bring light to what is going on and there seems to be some major ramifications that people are unaware of when it comes to pet vaccinations. Do your research before you inject your pet. Understand the risks because your vet WILL NOT tell you. Animal drug companies have incentives to not reveal how necessary their drugs are and we should all be better informed.

Can you provide a brief overview of the text?
<bot>: I lost my dog to AIHA which was instigated by a maladministration of the vaccine, LeptoVax4 by our vet.
