Thus is why you should vaccinate for rabies - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

All the posts we read on here where people don't take their dog to a vet after injury/incident, and this guy takes his dog to the vet and is then punished.

Surely they could titter? Isn't not like the vaccine protection runs out exactly on a set date. Ridiculous!

If he had bit a human in most states his head would be sent to a lab for exam. Fooling with rabies is stupid. I have known a few people that had to have the abdomen shots because they were bit and dog got away in a rabies watch area.

Feel sorry for the dog, hope owner get a $10,000 Vet and boarding bill, the publicity might get some others to license their dogs.

WOW. This is so cruel for this dog - it's basically solitary confinement which is brutal on mental health of any living creature. This makes me really sad.

Maggie's rabies was going to expire in July. I read this yesterday and I took her today for her shot because I tend to forget stuff like that if I put it off. One good thing about little dogs is that they get groomed often, and most groomers (Petsmart does) require and up to date rabies, so at least I'd have been reminded soon if I didn't do it. I can totally see forgetting it for a large dog.
