My Teddy had/has what I would call a rash as well. My vet said it is an allergy (he does occasionally lick his paws also) - at first he thought it was a food allergy but it would go away when the spring rains came. It appears to be related to molds and dust mites instead. I give him salmon oil (not the pills but the real oil), freeze his kibble, regularly clean his blankets etc., and give him oatmeal shampoo baths when it really acts up. I also use dermacton cream if his skin gets too dry. We seem to have it under control.

I've never lived in a place that didn't have a permanent rabies shot requirement. This upper Mid-West so maybe too many different critters than down there.

I believe that in that part of Tx, they require yearly Rabies and are voting on changing to 3yrs.

Yes, that is correct. The state law allows pet owners to use a 3 year vaccine, but some local county and city ordinances have annual rabies booster requirements.
