December 28, 2006 We received the import permit for Lily to the Philippines.
Now all the documents are complete.

All that's left is to take off for Cebu Island on January 12th!

DetailsDiary entry for December 27thPlease take a look.
December 20, 2006 Today, I went to the hospital to get my second dose of the rabies vaccine for humans.
I received injections in both arms again for rabies, hepatitis A and B, and, given the season, influenza prevention.
Apparently, this year's flu shots are particularly painful and cause swelling.

By the way, do you know what to do if you are bitten or cut by an animal infected with the rabies virus
First, rinse the wound with running water.
Wash the wound thoroughly with soap.
Apparently, these are the two.
Afterward, it is recommended to receive a post-exposure vaccine at a hospital as soon as possible.

Apparently, in rare cases, people abroad may not even realize they've been bitten by a bat until a considerable amount of time has passed.
No matter how much you wash away the virus, it apparently travels through the body's nerves at a rate of 7mm per day, eventually reaching the brain.
Therefore, the time it takes for symptoms to appear varies depending on where you were bitten.

Although there have been no rabies cases in Japan for a long time, two vaccinations followed by one a year later are said to be effective for 10 years, so it might be a good idea for both dogs and their owners to get vaccinated.
December 19, 2006 I also found a place where Lily can play with us.
Aquamarine Ocean Tours
I received a reply that I can participate in the island tours organized by this company, including the boat ride, and that it's okay to use the private beach as long as the dog is on a leash.
December 18, 2006 today,The Cebu Animal Quarantine Service issued an entry permit for Lily.We received a message from the site.
The document was valid for one month, and the fee was 350 pesos.
The documents will be sent by mail when that person returns to Japan at the end of the year.

It took quite a while since I applied on October 26th, but there's nothing I can do about it because the rule is that applications are only accepted starting one month before the date of entry.
December 3, 2006 From the Embassy of Japan in the Philippines11/20/06[Medical Information] RabiesInformation about this has been released.
November 24, 2006 I received a call from the Livestock and Biological Chemistry Safety Research Institute.
The results of Lily's antibody test after her rabies vaccination are in.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　30.8 IU/ml

The value was far above 0.5 IU/ml, but it was deemed not to be a problem.

Test results document received on November 25th
November 24, 2006 The problem of rabies still not being eradicated in Asia, including the Philippines.
For the past few days, I've been struggling to decide whether I should take Lily to Cebu or leave her in Japan.

Information confirmed by phone with Narita Quarantine today
  • If Lily goes through the proper procedures to leave the country, she will be able to return home even if she is bitten by another dog while abroad.
  • Unlike humans, dogs are less likely to develop the disease if their antibody levels are 0.5 IU/ml or higher.
  • If Lily or I were bitten by a dog while we were there, we could prevent the disease from developing by getting a post-exposure vaccine.
  • The closer the bite is to the brain, the shorter the time it takes for symptoms to develop and the higher the risk, which is true for all animals.
I don't think you need to worry too much, but please make your own judgment as the owner on whether it's really necessary to bring your pet along. Narita Quarantine - Kokuhoko

Q: Why do so many dogs die from rabies in the Philippines
A: As explained above, the Philippine government has been urging its citizens to get rabies vaccinations, but the situation is not such that it is reaching everyone. As a result, secondary infections are occurring when infected dogs bite other dogs or animals.
Q: What are hydrophobia and aerophobia
A: It's not that they're actually afraid of water, but rather their throats become numb, making it impossible for them to swallow.
They may also appear to be afraid of water because they choke on it when trying to swallow saliva or water.
Furthermore, because the nerves are affected, you become hypersensitive to wind and light.
Q: Is it possible that a panic like the dog hunts in China could occur in the Philippines
A: It's hard to say for sure, but even if that were to happen, Japan would not refuse entry to Lily, who has not shown symptoms, at quarantine.
More than that, I'm worried about whether I'll be able to leave the Philippines if the situation worsens.
November 22, 2006 News reports indicate that two people who returned from the Philippines have developed rabies.
I find this shocking. Is it really the right thing to do to take Lily with us
I've given Lily rabies vaccinations many times, and I've also given myself vaccinations.
You will need approximately 40,000 yen in expenses during the two months leading up to your departure.

rabies 7350 yen Rabies is a terrifying disease in which almost 100% of those who develop symptoms die.
In some parts of the world, such as Oceania, the risk of infection is high not only from dogs but also from bites by animals such as foxes, raccoons, and bats. This vaccine is recommended for those who are staying for extended periods, researchers, or others who have frequent direct contact with animals and are at high risk of infection, as well as for those traveling to remote or isolated areas where they may not have immediate access to adequate medical facilities.		 Three injections are required.
The second appointment is one month later.
The third time must be within one year.
hepatitis A 6300 yen Recommended vaccines for people staying in developing countries for medium to long periods (more than one month)
I recommend taking it especially for people under 60, as they have a lower antibody prevalence.
Hepatitis A is a disease transmitted through food and is widespread in Asia, Africa, and Central and South America.
hepatitis B 5250 yen Previously, blood-borne infections such as transfusions and needle-stick injuries from medical professionals were the main concern. However, currently, the two main causes of infection are persistent infection (chronicization) primarily in newborns born to mothers with hepatitis B (active stage), and transient infection through sexual activity (close contact of saliva or bodily fluids) after puberty.
tetanus 1575 yen Recommended for people who are at high risk of injury during adventure trips, etc.
Tetanus bacteria are found in soil all over the world, and deaths from tetanus are reported every year in Japan.
