Asked what you wanted, I did my best.
I would even be your clown.
When I'm old, partially blind and sick, you won't even look at me.
Without a thought, you dialle...

This mixing of new dogs may even increase the risk of rabies due to fighting over territory and mates. By vaccinating at least 70% of a stable population of dogs in the local area, they act as a barrie...

Unfortunately, it is quite sad that some had taken the actions on their pets with their own hands. Today, we witnessed the most disheartening case.

Infectious virus particles are retained in a rabid animal's salivary glands to better disseminate the virus through their saliva.
