Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

SOUND OFF!!! Ever have something REALLY bugging you and nowhere to vent about it? Well, this is the place. It does not have to be fauna oriented at all! Get it off your chest right here. |

Good luck to you. So sorry you have to go through that. I'm glad you're getting the shots though; you can't take any chances with rabies.

Sorry you have to go through this, but why dont you mention to the idiots at the health center that the last time you had this done, you were put into the hospital?
Cant they just send the request to the ER or something you go to the hospital, that way they can give you preventative meds?
Dealing with rabies is a very real thing to those in the animal care industry.
As an ACO myself, sometimes it freaks me out when we've got one of those dogs foaming at the mouth thats been brought in because they bit someone and broke skin.
Ugh.
I feel your pain.

Well, so far so good. The first day, I was at the health department for 5 hours!!! They did give me two injections beforehand, which I believe was an antihistamine and a steroid to lessen the possibility of a reaction. The first day I had the actual rabies vaccine itself, and the rabies immunoglobulin. Thankfully, I didn't have a severe reaction like I did last time. I WAS pretty spacey all day long, and at one point I was slurring my words. I felt like I had too much to drink. I also had a lot of hot flashes and I was extremely irritable all day long. I wasn't working that day, so I got to go home and sleep it off. Yesterday, I had to go back for the second shot in the series. I tolerated it a lot better than I thought I was going to. I have to go back on Friday, and then one more time after that.
I feel like the vaccines are messing with my head a little bit. I'm cranky after I get them, and they make me feel like crap. Can't wait for this to be over.
I hate people that let their un-vaccinated animals run loose outside.
I had a guy at work yesterday who told me he doesn't believe in vaccinating his animals. He has 4 cats that haven't had rabies vaccines since 2006 and they all roam the neighborhood, and they're all ferocious. I think he's been reported before, but no one ever follows through.
And here the media/government/general public is making this HUGE deal about the feral burmese pythons in the everglades...which I do admit is a problem... but that does not seem to be the problem that needs attention here. Lets take care of these damn feral, unvaccinated, rabid cats!
