I just wanted to remind everyone to get their animals up to date on their rabies shots!! My Uncle just killed a rabid coon in his back yard in Valley Lee. Three dogs have had to be put down because of rabies in that area!!

Yes the racoons were tested, and the dogs were put down because they did not have up to date rabies shots. If a dog has been bitten by a rabid animal that isnt up to date on its shots, then the only thing that can be done is to put it to sleep. I myself need to get my dogs updated on thier shots. I thought that since they were in a fenced in yard nothing could happen, but my uncle's dog was on a running line and the coon came after it!!

So true!!!
I need to find a vet that will come to my house, I have a 120 lb German Shepherd that doesnt get along with other female dogs, so she is hard to take to the vets office!!!

Have you heard anything about not letting dogs that have advantix on them near cats? something about causing seisures(sp)? I can't remember where I heard that and I wanted to make sure I checked it out before I put some on my dogs(I have cats too).
My dog as well as other dogs she used to be around where around cats all the time and never had any problems. If you applied K-9 advantix on a cat then might cause problems.
