cavanami Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 Other than you probably suspect : dogs taking a dump at your forecourt is a sign of appreciation . They kind of feel great . You wasted a chance . Nahhh, they can take their dump at the neighbors, OK by me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Munchmaster Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 ....I've had the full series - after I was bitten by a bat! When I was young I was savaged by a Turbot, but I still enjoy fishing. :content: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Munchmaster Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 I think that attacks by stray dogs are probably very rare. From my experience (20+ years of wandering around cities in SE Asia) they just ignore you or get out of your way. Never been attacked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nervous God Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 Loner, Rabbies no longer 100% fatal if treated quickly Treated quite often, in Thailand as well. Post-exposure prophylaxis Treatment after exposure, known as post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP), is highly successful in preventing the disease if administered promptly, generally within ten days of infection.[1] Thoroughly washing the wound as soon as possible with soap and water for approximately five minutes is very effective at reducing the number of viral particles. “If available, a virucidal antiseptic such as povidone-iodine, iodine tincture, aqueous iodine solution or alcohol (ethanol) should be applied after washing...Exposed mucous membranes such as eyes, nose or mouth should be flushed well with water.â€Â[19] Wikipedia.

ThaiHome Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 I think he was referring to once symptoms are exhibited it is always fatal.

Nervous God Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 TH - you could be right, point is if bitten, you can be saved, so don;t think you'll die and do nothing. Recent case in Thailand news, didn't make the farang press, of a lady buying a dog a JJ Market that had rabbies, both the lady and maid died months later. The protocol I think refers to the sad fact all survivors of rabies have been severely brain damaged. Better to let die I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shygye Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 Here's one...had a dog coming everyday to take its dump in front of our shop. We put out liter sized bottles filled with water. The dog stopped coming around! I have noticed that others in the area have done the same thing. Buy the strongest chili powder and spread it around where the dog takes a dump. One sniff and that dog won't be back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are only five other cases of survival after the onset of symptoms, and all of these people had received vaccination in advance or got it soon afterward. Only one of these five survivors escaped major mobility impairment. Now 18 years old, however, Giese underwent successful physical therapy to correct weakness in her left hand and foot, arm and hand movements, and difficulties with speech. Although she still has some minor problems enunciating words and moving her left hand and foot, Giese can now drive a car and scored higher than average on her college entrance exam. ...
