What is a Hasa dog like, and is it easy to keep?

What happens if a dog is given expired vaccine?
An expired vaccine generally does not seriously harm the dog's body, but it easily causes immunization failure. Vaccines are inactivated or weakened-virus types, and expired ones may lose potency, so test antibody levels 15 to 30 days after vaccination and re-vaccinate if low. Also, poorly stored expired vaccine may cause itch, redness, or swelling at the injection site, needing prompt vet care.

After adulthood, feed once a day at about 500 g, adjusting to the dog's weight and appetite.
How to handle a dog bitten by a tick?
Once a tick is found on the dog, promptly use a pet external parasite treatment to remove them. Brown-red, black, or brown bugs on the body suggest a tick infestation. For few ticks, dab alcohol on the area, and once the tick is numb, pull it out with fine-tipped tweezers; or spray flea spray on the infected area and the tick will be gone the next day. After removal, apply an external parasite medicine; for many ticks, see a vet. Never pull a tick off by hand to avoid skin infection.
