I am sorry you and BF are not going to be able to spend Christmas with his parents...I am sure they are sad too, about having to miss Christmas with their son and you...do they insist you keep Luma crated while she is there? Next year, if they want you to come for Christmas, I would make it clear Luma can not be kept crated the whole time! If they insist, then I would maybe see if I could have one of your family members keep Luma....that would certainly be better for her than the stress of being crated 24 hours a day, and all the people that are always around at Christmas. Or you could even get a motel room and you and bf and Luma could stay at a motel, where you could leave Luma while you are at the parents house, with all the kids and festivities. |
Very true, you should put a phone call into your primary NOW so that they can obtain the necessary injections you will need. I'm surprised they gave you the shot without consulting with your primary because there is a time period where they usually wait to see (10 days)if they can locate the animal(s). Whenever a person or child gets bit by a dog here and they can't locate the dog the news stations usually put out a public plea. Unfortunately the injections are very painful, as you must know...Please call your PRIMARY RIGHT NOW because the injections are something they have to work with the redcross to get and are not readily available. It is very important to get ahold of them so that the series of shots you need will be available. Also, it is imperative that the County Health Department in which this happened be contacted and take a report. I'm sure Animal Control will help you with this. What county are you in? What Animal Control Agency is helping you?
This is just awful, I really hope they find these dogs and I am so glad you are both ok.
Maybe Elliemae will be along soon to give more info? You might want to pm her as she probably can give you more advice.
Keep us posted.
