Whenever a person is bitten by a dog. thatj per? son normally wonders whether .or not the dog that has bitten him has rabies, and . then goes through a period of suspense until a laboratory report has been made of the rabies test. . \ - While the person bitten and his or her family are going through the period of suspense, the family of the owner of the dog are going through a period of anxiety until a laboratory test is made and, is favorable. ( If the rabies test report is positive theft the person bitten must go through a period of anti-rabies treatment, which, is not • pleasant by any means. All warm blooded animals are subject to rabies. Such animals as skunks, fox, rata,, bats, etc. all have rabies when bitten by Other animals having; rabies. What can be done to eliminate these animal problems? Keep your dog, under control at all times where he cannot bite anyone, and especially children. If your dog is the least: bit cross make sure no children can get near him to handle him. If yOjU feel that you must turn your dog loose for exercise, put-a muzzle on him so that he can not bite anyone. If you have.a dog that you do not care about* do not dump him off along the road; have him; put out ofvthe way.,Jn a humane manner by a veterinarian. Have your dog vaccinated against rabies for .additional security reasons and to help, put your mind at ease. The Illinois rabies law requires vaccination of your dog once a year. If bitten by a cfog} "wash the wound with soap and running water at once, then go t%yqur doctor. Notify the police and your local veterinarian at once.. If you live in the country, notify your constable and your supervisor, then call the local veterinarian.
