Tau had to get some of his routine vaccines this weekend to prepare him for his journey to Hawaii. They have very strict guidelines for rabies prevention and to avoid having to quarantine, Tau he must have a OIE-FAVN blood test that is sent to a lab at Kansas State University. He is not allowed into Hawaii for 120 days after the test is received by the lab and must have had two rabies vaccines prior to getting the blood test. There is a 3 week waiting period between vaccines and they must have a signed certificate for both vaccines on file as well as a health certificate within fourteen days of our planned arrival. Tau has had the rabies vaccines but unfortunately there was no signed certificate. The blood test can be accomplished after the second rabies vaccination in 21 days. He is required to have a micro chip for identification purposes as well. The chip is inserted into his shoulder and the ownership information will be transferred to Cheryl once he is presented to her. Tau is a good sport and enjoyed the attention from the vet and her staff.
