Signs to watch for in a rabid
animal are hard to pin down. Dr.
Bill Thompson, of Health of
Seaforth, reported that
if specific symptoms are listed
and a pet owner doesn't recognize
the symptoms or if the animal
and the virus can take from days does not react in the prescribed
to months before symptoms manner then the owner feels that
his pet does not have the dis'ease.
If the animal acts out of the
ordinary a vet should be
consulted.
The areas with the most
recorded cases are East
Wawanosh,,West ,Wawanosh and.
Ashfield , townships although
other cases have been reported
throughout the county.
The scheduling of a rabies
clinic in Huron County is decided
by Health of Animals, the Huron
County Health. 'Unit and the
number of enquiries about having

a clinic, plus , the number of
diagnosed rabies cases.
The cost of having a clinic. is,
high and the immunity gained
from these immunization shots
lasts for dogs, between three and
bur years. In cats, the immunity
does not last as long.
The only sure way to diagnose a
rabies case is to send the head, of
the animal in question to the lab
in Ottawa through Health of
animals in Seaforth and have it
tested.
Health of animals officer Dr.
Thompson pointed out that "It is
too risky with humans involved to
go by diagnosis without a lab
result"
