I am stationed in South Korea and my wife is going to be moving out here with me and we have a 5 month old female Chihuahua and I want to know what vaccinations I need to get her before my wife brings her to South Korea. She is completely caught up on all of her shots as of right now. She is going to be getting her first rabies shot in the next week or so. I don’t want my wife to bring our dog over here and have her get sick, or worse, because there was a vaccination that I didnt get for her. So if you could please let me know what shots is recommended for South Korea I would be very thankful. Thank you Joshua Hardman

Hurricane Irene: Preparations for pet owners?

I don’t think I’m likely to be evacuated, although I am likely to have the high winds and torrential rain and flooding. It’s conceivable I’ll be evacuated though as I’m 10 miles inland. What am I forgetting?

So far, here’s what I’ve done in relation to the dog:

-We’re stocked up on her food.

-Extra water for her (in case we can’t get tap water in the wake of this hurricane)

-She doesn’t take any regular medications, although I’d refill them if she did. Her occasional meds (NSAIDS for luxating patella) are in a ziploc with her food.

-We’ve been checking out the few places one can evacuate with a dog, and her crate is in the car. (She’d need to be crated just about anywhere we could evacuate with a dog).

-I’ve got her records (purchase, vaccination/vet, microchip, photographs, etc.) in a ziploc bag in the glove compartment of the car. Emailed copies to relatives in case I lose mine. (Dogs and owners can be separated in these situations, so I have all the proof I can that she’s mine and how to find her if that happens. )

-Yes, she has her name tag, microchip tag and rabies tag on her collar.

-I always have an extra leash, collar and bowl in the car even in regular weather.

-We know where to go in the house in the event that windows are getting blown out.

-The car, the trash cans and the patio furniture are in the garage so they can’t be damaged/blown around by wind.

So, what am I forgettting?
Julie, have a the first aid kit and the flashlight, batteries, radio. But you reminded me I should grab some vetwrap for the doggie first aid kit–thanks!
@bunnylady: evacuation with pets is always difficult. First line of defense is pepole you know on higher ground, outside of the evacuation area. The try vets or boarding facilites outside of the flood/evacuation zone. Stay on top of social media–veterinary hospitals will often tweet or facebook willingness to take animals in these sorts of emergencies, so try to check them.

To start off my puppy has this cold that all my household (including pets) have. I bought a 7 in 1 vaccination to give him because being 3 months and out of the pound he hasn’t had any. On the package it says to only give to healthy dogs. With his cold I was worried to do so. I went online to the website of the vaccinations and it also said that it isn’t reccomended to give to young dogs? Anyways, I figured I could give him an alavert and maybe his cold symptoms would go away, this website said it was perfectly safe if I gave him half and he seemed to be acting like his peppy self afterwards until he threw up. My friend says Due to the fact he hasn’t had any vaccinations he hasn’t the immune system to work against the medicine so it came back up, and then said I should still give him the shot later tha night. What do I do?

I was just wondering if it would be okay because I don’t know if she would get a bad reaction from getting the vaccination with her bladder infection.
She said to wait till it got cleared up about 2 weeks ago & gave antibiotics, but there seems to be puss that wont go away..

Is it necessary for a dog to get Vaccinations?

is vaccinations necessary? my dog is 2 years old and he has never gotten a vaccination, but he never gets sicks, and it is not that we dont want to give vaccinations to our dog its just that we keep forgetting , and also we sometimes don’t have the money, but we always have money to feed our dog. He is treated like family.

Today my husband and I took our dachshund puppy to the vet to get his parvo vaccination and a dewormer. He was very sleepy afterwards so we laid him down in his bed and we laid down for a nap ourselves. About an hour later we woke up and went to check on him. He was acting very skiddish and scared of us, and when my husband went to pick him up he yelped very loudly like just touching him hurt. We figured he was sore from his shots and tried to be careful with him. After a few hours went by he seemed back to his normal self, he was running around and chasing us and playing tug of war with his toys, and then all of a sudden he dropped his toy and ran into the extra bedroom we have all his stuff that in. I figured he went to relieve himself, but he didn’t come back, so I went to check on him and he was just laying in his kennel looking very sad and like he was in pain. We tried coaxing him out and petting him but he just continued to lay there and look upset. Does anybody new know what could be wrong with my baby? I am very worried and the vet is closed already.
Thank you everyone, all your answers were very helpful and made me calm down. Sorry for the typos, as I was worried and typing fast, not really paying attention to the keys I was hitting. He came out of his kennel and is curled up on my lap right now. I will be sure that we both give him extra love and care these next few days. I am a little upset that our vet didn’t warn us that he would be acting funny, and will call the office tomorrow and talk to him about it. Again, thank you all very VERY much.

My family and I took in a stray kitten within the last week or so, and whenever we pet him he starts kneading (and occasionally he’ll lick and suckle my fingers when he’s super content).

The kitten is at most 10-12 weeks old (the vet called him 10 weeks for his vaccination purposes)

I was wondering if it were a possibility that, because we don’t know where he came from, he may have been separated from his mother too early… I’ve heard this behavior is indicative of that.

New pet: Hamster or Cat?

Hey all,

I am looking to get a new pet, but I am kind of not sure between the cat and the Hamster. I know there are many breeds out there (and I absolutely know none :P ) but I don’t mind getting any breed of kitten or hamster.

so I am kind of wondering what should I get? a hamster or a kitten?
like what are the costs ( vaccination and all the other stuff that there is)
cats cost more but the size is also much bigger than just a hamster.

also I am a full time student, so i’ll be out averagely like 7~8 hours.

The vet talked us into getting the shot. although she’s an indoor cat she does interact with cats through the window screen who have sneezed on her multiple times. I didn’t want her getting leukemia but I also didn’t like the 2% chance She would get cancer from the vaccination. And just recently her eyes started watering. It’s mostly clear discharge and she DOES have allergies (I just stopped putting her allergy medicine in her food a couple of days ago which is when it started)

Could this be a reaction to the vaccination or to her allergies. She has an office visit to the vet in 2 weeks.. Should I reschedule it sooner?

I know I spoil her, but she’s my baby and I love her, I don’t want to loose her. I’m only 15, I don’t have experience with these sort of things.
Please help

i bought my puppy at 9 weeks and did not get him vaccinated. he is now 14 and a half weeks and yet to be vaccinated. he obviously missed his first vaccination at 6-8 weeks. i also missed the one at 12-14 which is meant to be the second. the third is meant to be 16-18. so im in between one and two. what is my situation? will just the one in the 16-18 week period be ok? what should i do
