Re: How much sunlight for a dog? Black fur-rabies vaccines

[Guest guest]

She had another 'session " in the sun today-she really enjoys it and she herself

went back into the house when enough was enough-my courtyard is getting cleaned

up as a consequence of this and I too am getting sunshine that I require ( I

have been battling depression for years!).

Thanks for giving me courage!!!Sending big hugs to Apollo ( lovely name )

As for vaccines, the last batch she had I tried to protest as she never gets to

meet other dogs and is always only with us in the house, car, etc. But the vet

insisted and I could do nothing.

Soon after that she got a bad attack of fleas, aural hematoma, and now this...

The lady doctor who had saved her life when she was a pup also concurred that

rabies shots are pointless in most cases of home kept pets etc...

What to do -some people are so paranoid.

I have terror about neighbours because when I started surfing the net to find

out what she had, I came across a blog entry from this region (malaysia) where

some " kindly " passers-by forced an old woman to take her dog which had a large

tumour to the vet.

If it is India ( my country) I feel strong enough to do anything I think is

right but not in another land.

Sometimes I feel people have put so much blind faith in mainstream now that it

is like the olden days faith in witch doctors.

Ummm who cares about the neighbors. Just tell them it is a bad sore that is

healing. Apollo has hair loss after his last rabies (grrr don't start me on

vaccs) will it be permanent? Who knows. Right now DH is out of work so things

went from bad to worse so I can't run a thyroid panel to see if that is it. I

just tell people he has a skin condition. He is not overly bothered by it. Not

bad itching or anything. I think a half a hour should be good. Apollo has black

fur also. Cheri
