to make sure that the dog was well trained and had all shots and vaccines

no training is needed to be a emotional support animal and when I took the documentation that showed all its vet bills she stated that the documentation was good

that it needed to be house trained and needed a list of shots and vaccinations

Canine Distemper Canine Hepatitis Canine Parvovirus This is another viral disease that can be contracted through infected feces and urine. The virus is able to live a long time outside of the host, thus making it very contagious. Puppies are most susceptible. Parvovirus causes severe bloody vomiting and diarrhea, dehydration, shock, and even death. The most effective way of preventing the disease is through a series of puppy vaccinations followed by a yearly booster. Canine Parainfluenza (Required for Dogs) This is a canine disease that causes kennel cough. It is generally a mild respiratory infection in healthy dogs, but can be very severe in puppies and elderly dogs. Again, a series of puppy vaccinations followed by yearly boosters are the best means of prevention against Parainfluenza. Canine Bordetella (Required for Dogs) This disease is one of the main contributors to kennel cough. It can either be a sole bacterial infection or be in combination with distemper, adenovirus type-* infection, parainfluenza, and other respiratory problems. Signs of the illness include a harsh, dry cough that is often followed by gagging and coughing up a foamy mucous. It is spread through inhalation or contact with contaminated surfaces. Since Bordetella is highly contagious, yearly and up-to-date vaccinations are required at many boarding, training, and grooming facilities. A yearly vaccine is the most effective means of prevention. Rabies (Required for Dogs) This disease is caused by a virus that infects all warm-blooded animals. It is usually spread though animal bites when the saliva contains the virus. Rabies is very hard to detect when an animal is alive since only certain tissues respond to testing. Signs of the disease are change of behavior/temperament, restlessness, irregular eating, difficulty swallowing, increased drooling, fever, vicious behavior, paralysis, and convulsions. Death is the ultimate outcome. There is no treatment for animals with rabies, and once determined to be infected, they are euthanized. However, if they bite a human while infected, the animal is placed into quarantine for 10 days before euthanasia for human health reasons. Vaccination is the only effective way of preventing the disease. Heart worm prevention Flea and Tick Prevention Canine Leptospirosis

Not all of them but the Cindy sears stated that my documents were all good besides the age

I would have to go look at the records

which I can’t at this moment

i was not given a timeline but she said that the dog should be removed because housing will come check my room and fine me if it is still here

*

it is a pet clean up fee for having a un approved pet

they had already gave me one before I had the dog, and I had called them over and over and had two others calling them and they eventually just removed the fine even though they never even gave a reason why they put the fine or why they removed it

I had talked to housing about getting a dog before I had the dog and got the information about what I needed and then the next day without warning they came and checked my room and the room beside me twice within * minutes with different people both times and then gave me the fine even though there was no dog here at that time

i didn’t even own a dog then

they didn’t give one

they didn’t give a reason

I don’t know what I am supposed to do

Yes

I haven’t consulted with anyone yet

i got the emotional support animal for high stress, anxiety, and adhd

The emotional support animal
