Oh...is it..because many malay frends of mine said they cannot touch dog as it is consider about the same like boars?

But then why malays don't keep dogs as pets?

You are wrong, they are malays who keep dogs.

TS, So sorry to hear the story.. and I feel pity for the dog! One question, imported dog shall be in quarantine? If the disease is there for around 14-18 days... I think the dog get it from the quarantine or something!? Or it stays long in the petshop before your friend bought it? Is it first vaccination is not enough to protect the puppy from this distemper?

i dont reli trust those quarantine thingy, few months ago i imported a dog to my friend's house at japan cuz we have no place to keep n didnt wan her to be a stray dog...We just do normal things at clinic, then we went to issue the permit to export dog, they dont reli check also. They are more into documents, when reached japan also...See document n check microchip then can entered jor...since china is such a "good" country. I think to get those document for a dog isn't a hard thing lor...I do bliv the dog got illness before come tongue.gif go complain!! hope your friend will get back what she should get tongue.gif

as far as I concern, 1 week is not enough to determine whether the pup is healthy or not, as some virus will only shows after 14 days of infection wor... this is what my vet told me... even you spend money to do test, like pennywise did for her Moonie, you will still be sure that it is not infected weeks back, but no one can guarantee it is not infected, say yesterday =( ... That's a bad thing... I once pondering whether or not to buy one puppy because i know it is sick, the vet told me it is like a gamble since a week is not really enough to determine whether the pup is totally healthy or not.
