DON’T TRUST A KENNEL THAT IS ALLERGIC TO VETS
I recently had a Chihuahua come in for a consultation kasi dumating siya from a kennel where the new owner bought it, and the puppy was already experiencing involuntary twitching. At 5 months old, dapat naglalaro, nakikipaghabulan, at umaakyat-baba na ang isang puppy. Hindi dapat nahihirapan sa basic activities tulad ng pagkain, pag-inom ng tubig, at paglalakad. More importantly, hindi dapat nakakaranas ng involuntary muscle movements that interfere with normal daily life.
When I checked the records, madre mía! Ang kennel owner lang ang nagturok ng bakuna, at isang vaccine lang ang naibigay. We highly suspected that the puppy had recently recovered from Canine Distemper Virus Infection. What’s worse, walang vet’s signature sa rabies vaccination record. Paano na-ship? I hope BAI and government veterinarians also check these records properly, kasi ang daming fabricated rabies vaccination records para lang ma-ship ang mga ibinebentang aso at pusa.
Sa dami ng kagaguhang ginawa ng kennel na ito, good luck na lang, because the new owner really wishes to pursue legal action against them.
As a pet buyer, although I have reservations about buying pets, please have the pet’s records checked by a veterinarian bago niyo bilhin. If hindi niyo afford magbayad ng PF sa private vet, pumunta kayo sa mga public veterinary offices near you na nag-o-offer ng free consultations. You are spending more than 10K on a puppy, maging sigurista kayo and consider its health and welfare. Unfortunately, a lot of irresponsible kennels continue to thrive in the Philippines.
Kung kayo naman ay nagbebenta ng puppies and kittens, maawa naman kayo sa mga pets. Huwag niyong tinatarantado ang mga hayop at pet owners dahil lang sa kasakiman niyo. I doubt na may permit itong Manila-based kennel owner na ito. 😏
Kung gusto niyong kayo na lang ang magtuturok para makatipid, mag-aral kayo ng VetMed. But mind you, just because marunong kayong mag-alaga ng pets doesn't mean you can survive veterinary school and pass the boards. Kaya ayusin niyo yang mga pinaggagawa niyo, kasi baka sa malamig na rehas kayo abutin.
Sana talaga ay masampolan ito. Alam ko ring maraming groomers and non-vets ang nagbabakuna at nagbebenta ng mga gamot na nangangailangan ng prescription dito sa Zamboanga City. Huwag kayong iiyak kapag kinasuhan kayo.
Simple lang naman: If you don't want to deal with veterinarians, don't get a pet, nor engage in a business or activities related to it!
Ciao!
