November several dogs came in contact with a skunk in the area of Stewart and Kerr Streets in Oakvilte The skunk has since been proven to be rabid Although rabies is always pre sent in Halton it is rare for a rabid animal to be in such a built up area The public are advised to take the following precautions Keep away from wild animals and familiar pets Vaccinate cats and dogs and keep pets under control at all times If you see a wild or stray animal behaving strangely report it to your local Humane Society or Animal Shelter If you are bitten by an animal wash the wound thoroughly with soap and water and apply an an tiseptic You should also report the incident to the Health Depart and to your doctor Rabies is a common fatal disease of wildlife in Ontario Often it can spread to domestic animals including cats and dogs Foxes skunks raccoons and bats are the most common carriers of rabies Rabbits squirrels and other rodents rarely get the disease Rabies is caused by a virus that is usually spread by the bite of an infected animal The virus enters damaged nerves in the wound and travels towards the brain In animals symptoms usually cur between two and eight weeks after the bite when the virus reaches the brain Symptoms are not always of the mad dog variety Animals can appear quiet frightened vicious or any combination of these moods Any unusual behaviour should therefore be viewed with suspi Milk Makes It Better and wish to thank the Lenders Burt and Linda Mitchell and the members for a fine job done Several upcoming events were discussed The t Anniversary luncheon n
