gnipper 6,470 Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 I thought it took a couple of weeks to kill them but by the time you notice the symptoms its too late? A mate of mine caught one poxy rat with a young terrier of his then the week after had 2 digs to the dog and while he was inside recuperating he turned yellow. I didn't see the dog but my mate said that the whole dog looked yellow inc his fur (it was a russel). Not a nice thing to happen anyway. Keep them vaccinated and I think exposure to the shit that rats carry helps build an immunity, my dogs been doing rats in some grotty places since about 5 month old and he's never even swelled from a bite.

AKA-BRINDLE 879 Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 The yearly booster jabs for parvo and that also protects the dog from Weiles disease Quote Link to post

liamdelaney 2,587 Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 Obviously the dog was not injected so nobodys fault but his own,but at the end of the day its only a dog.could have been worse he could have got it himself it also kills people.A friend of mine kissed a golf ball a few years ago after a good shot(I dont play golf)and he contacted it and died.
