Thread: Dyman Dartagnan @ 5 months :)

Hope he has a good flight & you dont have to wait around for his lost toys etc

How does the 30 day quarantine work? Does he have to stay in like a kennel of sorts at a vet for that long? That seems like quite a while...

The 30 day quarantine (costing USD$800) starts the minute I hand him over to the airport quarantine office this late afternoon. He will be transferred to the animal quarantine station first thing tomorrow morning and I can go visit him in the late afternoon starting tomorrow.

He will be caged inside a 'cattery room' sized (1.7m x 1.2m x 2.0m) [5.5 ft x 4ft x 6.5 ft] by himself.

Dog kennel is made up of an indoor room and an outdoor run (4.3m x 1.8m x 2.4m) [14 ft x 6ft x 8 ft]. Cattery rooms are very tiny comparing to dog kennels... the charges are the same for dog kennels and cattery rooms which I don't feel is fair at all.

The worst thing is he will be given ANOTHER rabies vaccination tomorrow morning as soon as he arrives at the animal quarantine station. He already had one rabies vaccination when he was 3 months old and now he is being forced to have another vaccination at 9 months old... cannot be good for the poor kitty :(

I bet you are bouncing around as he is on the last stage now. Poor kitty though having made the journey he's now got to have another jab, but first he will get a cuddle from his new mummy. I will think of you today meeting him you have been waiting soooooooo long. Big kisses to hin. Hx

YAY!

I am about to cry.................

Dyman's documents were accidentally switched somewhere in Frankfurt. The airport quarantine office here in Singapore will detain Dyman indefinitely until I can produce his original documents!!!!!!!!!!!

They told me that they would hold back for as long as they can until the original documents arrive OR ELSE, they would not only administer the rabies vaccination but all the other vaccinations as well!!!!

I was too distraught to want to take photos of Dyman as he was already soooo stressed and scared.

I have already contacted the breeder to get the vet to issue another set of documents and send it via DHL to me.
