Preventable diseases are also starting to re-emerge as a result, Ontario vet says
Can dogs develop autism? Some pet owners think so, and believe that vaccines are the cause. However, research doesn’t give a definitive answer on whether or not dogs can develop autism in the first place.
— BVA April 24, 2018Weese agrees that the rare possibility of an adverse reaction trumps the risk of dogs catching a preventable disease like canine parvovirus or canine distemper. However, Dodman doesn’t want his study to be taken out of context. He stresses that vaccines do not cause autism in bull terriers, any other dogs or humans. He also said that his study only examines the behaviour of some dogs of one particular breed, not all dogs.
“I’m not necessarily saying all vaccines are bad when used properly, but from vaccines that are saving lives, we made it a business venture and I when I say “we”, I mean “we” as a profession,” he said. “In some situations I’ve seen behavioural changes from vaccines, but I’m not necessarily saying they were autistic changes,” he said.
