Dog Rabies anti-body TEST Dilemma ! HELP

Hello fellow expats,

My father has been living in quito for the past 3 years and he is retiring and moving back to his home in Egypt this month.

we want to ship his dog to Egypt asap, the dog's cargo route include transiting in Amsterdam. thus we might need to have the rabies antibody test done from an approved EU lab.
the only 2 labs that are fast and approved are in Valencia,Spain or in Lelystad, Netherlands.

both labs can perform the test in 10 days only ! the problem is that i need  a vet in quito ecuador - who has an affiliation with either one of them or just can prepare the sample and i manage shipping and payment directly to the lab.

HELP PLEASE :(

I sympathize with your plight - but recognize that with barely a bit over two weeks remaining in this month, there may not be enough time, especially over the holidays, to get this done, even if you and/or your father are fluent in Spanish and are there "boots on the ground" in Quito.

And you need to find out if you must have the rabies antibody test done from an approved EU lab - not just that you might need to have them do it.

Ecuador provides certificates of vaccination for various canine diseases including rabies, as a matter of course - they are required to export an animal, as proof that the animal is healthy.  Try some of these links, to email/call them and to find out exactly what can and cannot be done in Ecuador:

The phone number for the university clinic in the above link is 254 8188 .  From the United States you must dial 011 + 593 + 2 + Local Number.

The last is a Facebook page of a veterinarian in Quito with a chat function that may be able to answer your questions.  Good Luck!
