This is so weird! so incredibly weird!

ours does, to rescues and to adopters with a paid voucher if the animal is under weight for a pediatric spay/neuter. Back to rabies, I emailed the vet with details and a copy of K's previous rabies cert, we'll see if/what they reply.

and there are many studies that refute all that.

I've never seen a municipal pound do surgeries, educated vets do, and it seems vets with current education, not from the 70s, see benefit from pediatric spay/neuter . Vets around here will spay/neuter anything 2 pounds and over, K was 15 pounds. Here is a just one of many good reads on the subject, this links to page 2 which addresses some of your old thinking. http://veterinarymedicine.dvm360.com/overview-pediatric-spay-and-neuter-benefits-and-techniques?id=&sk=&date=&%0A%09%09%09&pageID=2 There is one vet here who doesn't do pediatric work, the other vets on the board tell him, he needs to get on the ball, old logic does not apply.

There is absolutely ZERO non-conflicting data on that, no proof at all. similar but unrelated:I read an article yesterday somewhat linking bloat to the raised feeders that we all use to reduce bloat. Zero relevant, current, non-conflicting data. They just don't study these things well enough to make a knowledgeable recommendation based on "fact" rather then possibility/chance.

agreed, what is in question here is the 3rd shot. I agree with the above, the vet and the manufacturer are trying to gain a little more. His certificate says 3 year (his second shot overall) it should be good for 3 years. AL is a 3yr state.

K got his first rabies vaccination when he was neutered at just under 3 months, in Jan 2017. Today, Jan 2018 he got his first booster, a 3yr. The vet mentioned that the manufacturer recommends another 3 year vaccination booster 1 year after the initial 3 year shot, so basically a shot for 3 years in a row. Basically, they are saying... One year in 2017, Three year in 2018, Three year in 2019, and then next would be 2022. I've never heard of that, anyone else? They are aware of his initial dose in 2017.

I always keep this stuff on hand https://www.amazon.com/Vet-Solutions-Ear-Cleansing-Solution/dp/B000O5I5X0 Cleans, acidifies, dries, etc. I use it after they get a shower, beach/river run etc, and if they have ear irritations like you are having. It has served me well. Since you are leaving and can't get to the vet, they might have something like that at Tractor Supply you can pick up quickly. I use a good amount, they try to shake it out right away, fill one ear, hold their head between my legs so they can't shake, fill the other ear (by fill I mean use a bunch, but not totally full ) then massage their ears (not aggressively or forcefully, but pretty darn good, can't think of the right word, definately not gently, you are trying to work it in and work things loose), you can hear the solution sloshing around for a good 10 seconds or so, then let them shake it out. I then use a cotton ball, or something to dry the outside portion of their ears.

Well I didn't know that...that sucks on so many orders of magnitude! We caught the cough very quickly, what that means for the rest of it, I have no idea, but T was not coughing all that much, but enough for us to know it wasn't normal. T's 12+, pretty old for a dobie of his size, it seemed to be kennel cough. Trudy was worried it could be congestive heart failure, but the coughs are different, this seemed kennel coughy. Benadryl dries up the back hacking (throat clearing) half of the cough, I read it helped, I had it on hand, and it has seemed to work for T and now A. After about 12 hours T would start coughing again, and after another round of Benadryl, it would stop for ~12 hours. Could have been something different, Trudy handles so many sick dogs, but it sure seemed 99% like a mild case of kennel cough.

Trudy has a job working at the county animal shelter. In addition to her paycheck she brought home kennel cough....yay! It started with T, him being so old, I though maybe it would be just him, so I gave him benadryl for a week, and he seems fine now. But today A started coughing, so started her and K on benadryl. My question is this... Once this runs it's course, will they have sufficient antibodies built up for a year, or should I vaccinate them afterwards?

we appreciate that, historically the biggest problem with this event is people committing to the timeline then failing to meet it, and that is a huge deal.

it isn't even Halloween!

This post is so old (12.5 years) I need to change my vote

it isn't that we accept or not accept things, it is whether the place you choose to store images allows remote linking or not.

I use cloudinary, the pics above come from flickr & postimages

I don't see where google provides the actual public .jpg link, so I haven't found a way to use them.

yes

since it isn't coming from GT, you can't whitelist GT, and since the image host may vary by the user posting, it would seem the only option is to slide back the security settings. you could try whitelisting http://imgbb.com/and ibb.co it may work for that specific example you provided, but it might not, and it wouldn't work for other hosts until you found out which ones were blocked and whitelisted those too. Better to just slide back the security settings bit by bit until the images begin to work.

correct, you won't see the button to add a profile pic until you reach 50 posts.

I can see the pages at the bottom of your signature image, the URLs have names in them rather than just numbers. The top 2 link, I can not view. You can probably play around with the URLs looking at the bottom ones, and make the top ones similar and work without a login.

post a public link that we can see without needing to login but it would look like this [url=http://www.greyhound-data.com/d?i=2258425]but it would look like this[/url]

Is a doggie door an option?
