Now to get us all in and getting us all to have to go through this

Vet bill = $650.00

Oh sigh.


This whole event doesn't make a lot of sense!

* HOW did 5 Dog-Boosters wind up costing $650.00 ??
$130.00 for a Rabies shot is a bit MUCH!

* Keepin it all a "secret" from the Authorities accomplishes what?
I Can't believe an MD that obtains Rabies Antidote Veccine can "not report" that
he's giving Antidote shots to a Human!

* WHY exactly are you wanting to take the Rabies Antidote Shots???
Was anyone actually BITTEN by the creature?
Was the creature ever captured and then TESTED by a LAB to see if it was Rabid?

Not so sure a Human can be infected by the "spit" of a Rabid creature ...
unless the Human has an open wound or plays kissy-face with the critter.

I'd sure be having a long, serious talk with a good MD *before* I paid for
and took the Rabies Antidote Shots!

Try to review the WHOLE Situation before you start to react to it.

GOOD Luck!!!
