Rescue dangers / cross post

Submitted by IndyBulldog™ on May 1, 2012 - 10:50am

Go Back to General Bulldog Forum

I have a concern over rescuing puppies that may, [probably not] have had any shots.

My dogs have their shots, but I want to know if there is danger to my dogs, if I rescue a pup and have it in my home before I can get to the vet as we drive down on the weekends as our country vet is cheaper.

I want to help, but not if I cause myself or my dogs problems or danger.

I mean Parvo, not like fleas.....

I would not bring an unvaccinated animal into my home....

I have been known to bring one in, but only if I have the vaccine readily available (any feed store or farm store will sell canine vaccinations). I will vaccinate teh animal myself, then isolate it for a few days with absolutely no interaction with my pets until I know the dog/cat is not symptomatic. I prefer to have my vet do this, but I will in a pinch and have many times been in that position.

My pets have never gotten anything from any thing I have brought in.

My garage is detached, but my dogs go right up to the door as the padio is 15 feet and runs between the house and the garage. I have a cage big enough, maybe the pup is OK where he is today. I will see. They [people across the alley] were acting like it was a bother to them, and being mean to it. Hard for me to see.

Someone said call the pound, I said I'll call the pound on you..........lol

Can you tuck a towel or something under the door so your dogs can't go nose to nose for a few days? I imagine they are safe enough, I just never take that chance...but I have at times, and my guys were ok. Mine are vaccinated well though, it depends on that entirely:-)

I feel for you...it is so hard to see a pup get neglected and not take it in. I would SO have that baby in my garage....

I walked over and didn't see the pup, I think he may belong there and maybe [let's hope] was stumbled over when I saw him yesterday, and not kicked.....

I had decided to do something, I have a Tractor supply card and I was gonna get the vaccine if I had to.

I used to give shots to my horse and my kids are both diabetic so I have needles,.

It's good to have folks to talk things through with.

Thanks

LOL! My favorite store:-)

The vaccines should come with a syringe and needle. Mine do when I buy my horse or small animal shots there. They carry all the shots you would need except rabies.

Poor pup, I hope it wasn't intentional abuse. I hate that so very much:-(. Hopefully you can nab him and find him a good forever home:-)
