I just saw a question about taking a puppy outside before it gets its shots…?
The vet wouldn’t give my puppy shots because she needs to be at least 6 weeks – she is two weeks shy of this. I have been taking her out back to poop and pee. Does this mean she has to eliminate indoors??
And does this mean I can’t take her out until she has ALL her shots (series of 3)?
I hadn’t heard this, I had thought it was important to keep them away from areas where other dogs might be or have been present to spread communicable diseases. Any advice?
She is orphaned and getting proper care for her special needs. I would find mom and siblings if I could.
You can take her out in your own backyard, but I wouldn’t take her to areas where other dogs pee and poop or even socialize. It’s safe to take her to friends or relatives houses that have healthy, vaccinated pets, although if she hasnt been dewormed, she could infect them is she deficates (although most parasites are transmitted fecal oral route [eating poop] so unless the other dogs eat her feces, they should pretty much be safe.. Definitely wait to take her for walks until 10-14 days after her 3rd disptemper combo vaccines.

Does anyone else have vitaligo?
I have vitaligo. Where you have no pigment in patches I was told it is an autoimmune disease?? I have had it for years and it really hurts when people stare or ask questions about “what it wrong with your skin” Kids are the worst and it is hard to explain to them. Are there any new remedies for this or should I just bleach the rest of my skin and be all white and pale? I have it really bad my left arm is almost all white…..
There are a number of ways to alter the appearance of vitiligo without addressing its underlying cause. In mild cases, vitiligo patches can be hidden with makeup or other cosmetic solutions. If the affected person is pale-skinned, the patches can be made less visible by avoiding sunlight and the sun tanning of unaffected skin. However, exposure to sunlight is preferable in the long run, because it helps the melanocytes regenerate to allow the pigmentation to come back to its original color.
Repigmentation therapies to remove the white patches include corticosteroids, calcineurin inhibitors, ultraviolet light and surgery, but they are not very effective. Current treatments include exposure to Narrow Band UV-B light, which seems to blur the edges of patches, and lightly freckling the affected areas. Immunomodulator creams are believed to cause repigmentation in some cases, but there is no scientific study yet to back this claim. Other more dramatic treatments include chemically treating the patient to remove all pigment from the skin to present a uniform skin tone. This is used by applying Monobenzone.
In late October of 2004, doctors successfully transplanted melanocytes to vitiligo affected areas, effectively repigmenting the region. The procedure involved taking a thin layer of normally pigmented skin from the patient’s gluteal region. Melanocytes were then separated out and used to make a cellular suspension. The area to be treated was then ablated with a laser, and the melanocyte graft applied. Three weeks later, the area was exposed to UV light repeatedly for two months. Between 73 and 84 percent of patients experienced nearly complete repigmentation of their skin. The longevity of the repigmentation differed from patient to patient

Is leprsosy causing bacteria M.leprae is a first pathogenic bacteria discovered by any scientist?
I am confused about it. I thought that first evincing sources of nexus between diseases and microorganism is the research done by Hansen.
No, that is usually give to Robert Koch. I did find the really cool website timeline while looking
