Anyway I call animal control and all the woman says to me is they do not test moles for rabies and hangs up.
I guess I'm not supposed to be concerned now...
Any thoughts? |
Well, first off all of us on YT have a sense of humor and yeah for that. But also, we take our Yorkie babies health extreamly serious and when it comes to a "rodent" possibly harming them then it is to me not a laughing matter.
I cannot believe the vet's office laughed, I cannot believe animal control hung up on you either.
I would be concerned, just as you are...Keep a close eye on your little one.
We too have many moles in our yard, babies and adults. And if Schatzie came in contact with one Id do the same thing you did and make all those phone calls.
Please keep us posted on how Tinkerbell is doing...
