I wanted to post this because it really shocked me....I was at the grocery store tonight and there a boy that works there that got his mom an American Bulldog around they same time we got our EB's .....I asked him tonight how his pup was doing and he said not good. He said that the pup was very aggressive and nipping at his little sisters so his mom decided it wold be best to put her down. So the vet agreed and they put her to sleep and later the vet called them and said it was a good thing they did that because blood test showed she had rabies!!!! I was shocked and the whole family had to go get shots and I guess if a human gets it the survival rate is 8%!!! The kids at the store said he was so scared because he had a scratch the days before the dog had licked it and I remember right after they got the pup he said the pup bit him in the lip really good!The puppy did not act sick or anything just was a little aggressive. I just wanted to make people aware of this because I had no clue. The vet says that the rabie shot is 99% effecttive and there is that small 1% that can still get it even with the shot! So scary!!! I thought maybe other wold find this interesting because I have never known a dog that has gotten rabies. Actually with all of my dogs growing up I think we even skipped rabie shots sometimes....I will NEVER do that now! His older brother got the sister of this pup and she is perfectly healthy and a very loving nice pup! So make sure you get your pups and older dogs up to date on shots!
