Wow... I just read a "cry for help" on a list. Her small dog on raw food, was outside chasing a squirrel (normal no catch type of thing) The squirrel turned and attacked the dog, bitting him on the thigh.
When she took her little one to the vet, they wanted to put the dog down for a squirrel bite. The dog still has a lame rear leg. How can this be? Why no cure outside of "death"? Vet said because it was fed raw and had only two Rabies vaccines, none in the past 4 years, and on raw food that he didn't have a chance!!
What say you? Can a squirrel cause paralysis? Infection? Clearly not rabies as the dog shows no signs. I want to help her but feel confused. What the hell was the vet thinking of blaming no vaccine and on raw equals Euthanasia?
Am I missing something?
Thanks Doc...
