Precaution Btooitttr t Hecftutfy To Hah This Fatal Disease Last week an article appeared in the Plaindealer asking all dog owners to keep their pets confined because of suspicious cases of rabies in MIcHenry. Many people _ have complied^ but many dogs still roam the streets. The Plaindealer, therefore, did some investigation as to the real situation. Since the last warning, one case under observation as susplcious was positively diagnosed as gabies by the state laboratories. Due to intelligent and quick action on the part of the owner and the veterinarian, a positive, diagnosis was made and the child bitten by the dog was under treatment within four days. A second dog suspected of rabiep died. This case was handled With equal efficiency' on the part of the owner, but unfortunately the specimen sent to the laboratory had disintegrated. Thus, a positive diagnosis was impossible. Neither were they able to jpve any assurance that the dog did not have rabies. It is a known fact that this dog had bitten several other dogs the last five days it Wjts at large. In view of these facts, McHenry now faces the situation of a possible rabies epidemic. " Rabies is probably the most dreaded of all communicable diseases, for once it is contracted by either animal or person, it is fatal. There is no cure. While dogs are not the only animals which develop the disease, they are the most common carrier to humans, probably because dog is the. most common pet.. „ The incubation period, that is, the time which elapses after the bite until the disease develops, is nine days to one year. Hpwever, the average time is from thr&e weeks to four months. > The disease can only be spread through a bite or by saliva being transmitted through open sores. . The disease can be transmitted for five days before the dog manifests rabies symptoms. A person or animal which is bitten should be given the Pasteur Rabies treatment as so6h as the dog has been determined to have rabies. This treatment should begin within seven days and consists of serum being injected each day for a two weeks' period. Authorities differ as to the necessity. of treatment for persons who have been in close contact with a rabid animal but have not been bitten. While some claim the precaution is unnecessary, there are cases on record of persons dying from the disease even ihough they have not been, bitten. 1 Usually this occurs when the dog licks the hand or leg upon which there is an open sore. Even the treatment is not 100 per cent proof against contracting the dread disease. The effectiveness depends upon the depth of the wound and upon what part of the body is bitten; also, on how soon 4he treatment is begun. A superficial bite on the lower pajt of the body is therefore feared much less . than a facial bite. Because small children are most "likely to receive bites on the face, it is. extremely important for parents take every precaution in keeping their little ones from mingling with dogs, especially at this time. It is also their right to demand that dogs be kept chained or in closed fenced. Many dog owners have co-operated. Those who have not )iave likely been to 1o (MPtVtnt mMta api- H4i <*r JusHt Jitf ALL 4eg« be kept from roaming at large ALL of the time. Steme of thft long incubation period, the above precaution will be necessary ftfr several months. * f Above all, there are ~a few 'iardihal things to remember when bi|ten by a dog. First; notify the' owner of the dog if it is not ydur own, and ask hi* co-operation In watching the animal. Under no circumstances Itill the dog, for by doing C. D. «f A. --Mile Card 1L. #f C.

If the dog shows any signs of illness, call a veterinarian and have him examine the dog. If the dog has rabies he will usually die within two weeks.
