The big one then bit the small one, so I grabbed the big one by the scruff and he turned round and bit me. As I've been told many times never touch a dog when eating but I was saving the smaller one. The one big thing I insist on with my two dogs is that I can take their food/treat/toy off them at any time. I train them as puppies. It marks you out as the pack leader and is a basic need with pet dogs. If I even get a growl, a sharp voice telling off will send them away, tails down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorry Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 20 hours ago, Neeranam said: I'll get a jab. Not rabies, as my dogs get a vaccine fir that. As this has been brought up by various posters: Current guidelines (WHO, American CDC, Thai Red Cross) don't care about this. Neither do they care if the dog never leaves the garden. (Reason: rabies is 100% deadly, vaccine is very well tolerated) So these posters are right: You should get post exposure prophylaxis: 4 shots of vaccine plus 1 shot of immunoglobulin if you have never had rabies vaccine. If you were vaccinated before, only 2 shots of vaccine. (There are other vaccination schedules, too) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I ever have to go to that hospital I will give it a miss and go to the next one 12 Ks away. So you are confused? Is there something wrong with my English or what?

crouchpeter Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 1 hour ago, Doctor Tom said: Is the dog vaccinated against, among other things Rabies? Dogs teeth are full of all kinds of nasty bacteria, so a good wash out with blue alcohol and an antiseptic plaster is sensible. The case for a tetanus jab is more debatable. If you say your dogs never leave a protected garden then I probably wouldnt bother, but if you would feel happier, then go ahead. Just don't let the clinic give you the whole rabies treatment, if your dogs are protected. This from the UK NHS help line: See a GP or contact NHS 111 if you're concerned about a wound, particularly if: the wound is deep the wound contains dirt or a foreign object you have not been fully vaccinated against tetanus you're not sure whether you have been fully vaccinated against tetanus NHS guidelines don't apply to Thailand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d4dang Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 I had two expat friends die of Rabies in Pattaya in the late 80s. Both were bitten by neighbors' dogs and assumed they would be ok and did not get shots. A horrible way to go after much suffering. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanuman2547 Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 I got bit by a small puppy in 1993 while out my morning run. Puppy was attached by a leash to its owner. At first I didn't think anything of it as it just jumped up by the back side of my right knee. About 400m later I had to stop at a traffic light. I looked down at my leg and saw a small trickle of blood. Needless to say I was very <deleted> off about this as I knew I had to go to the hospital and have it taken care of. The puppy's teeth were so sharp it just went in and out without much damage. I went to the hospital and they took care of it. Cleaned it really well and got my shot as well. Had to follow up with about four more as was the practice back then. Nurse asked me if it hurt while she was cleaning and I said, "yes, the dog biting me didn't even hurt this bad or for this long". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post grain Posted February 14, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 14, 2023 If any dog I ever owned intentionally bit me I'd pick up a piece of wood and beat it senseless, and then I'd boot its worthless as* into the nearest dog pound. No ifs, no buts, no excuses, no "the dog was eating". Biting the owner's hand is TABOO. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the pandemic, some members of the medical profession are going daft with their prices. Bloody rip off at Bkk hospital. No option to see a doctor for 2 minutes and over 800 baht, plus another 600 baht. And when waiting saw a Facebook post by wife about not getting flowers, another 500 baht ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereyougo Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 (edited) I would have bitten the dog on the snout hard or kicked it hard in the guts to assert yourself as the alpha.

I can pull food out of my dogs mouth - and sometimes have to if food is dropped and it's not good for doggy. He doesn't bite at all under any circumstances. I'd get rid of it. It'll happen again.

My original response you " Sorry you got bitten in part " You requested me to say what I needed which I did, response you didn't like it. My theory, Since you are Thai? and posting generally on a foreign board in the past have been sensitive and defensive towards comments on this board towards Thais which is the majority. You ask for criticism basically but can't take it that is the crust of what the conversation is all about that is really funny coming from a teacher who suppose to teach?

These people are deluded, what they are doing is like trying to empty a sinking boat filling with water with saucepan.

But 'dog lovers' say culls don't work - because apparently dead dogs can reproduce. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
