after a few days' illness.
Certain variations may occur in
the illness, and the paralytie van-
tome maybe more promineat, with
little or none of the earlier "toil-
ette behaviour.
The Dog TUX and Dive Stock Mat-
tection Act provides for by-laws
to be passed by loom municipalities.
for the licensing of dogs and the
eontrol of any running at large,
No noubt, your council already has
such legislation, Dog owners might
be reminded by councils when buy-
ing tags that rabic vaccination is
advisable for their pets, especially
if the dogs are allowed to run on
a farm or are used for hunting, A
new animal vaccine for rabiea is
snfe and may be secured at nomi-
nal cost from a practicing veterin-
arian.
Not only dogs, but cats, foxes,
wolves, and other warm-blooded
animals may carry rabies. Live=
stock may become infected by at-.,
tacks from rabid animals.
There are :special people in your
area who can help when rabies
threatens. For example, in the ease
of illness in pets and livestock, a
veterinarian can advise the owner;
in. the ease or wildlife; a conser
vation officer of the Ontario De-
partment of Lands and. Eorests
ready to assist; where stray dogs
or eats show strange behaviour, the
police should be notified.
The final authority, however,
with regard to rabies in animals,
is the Health of Animals Division
of ,the Canada Department of Agri-
culture. It was this division that
ordered compulsory vaccination for
all dogs in Northern Alberta when
rabies had seriously increased there
several years ago. The vaccinations
were performed free of charge by
their officers. Other measures, such
as reduction of wildlife 'carriers.-
coyotes, foxes, etc., were organized
in co-operation with provincial and
municipal authorities, arid a splen-
did job was done, The Health of
Animals office for this county is
situated in the post office building,
Seaforth, telephone 372. Notify
them. of all eases of animal rabies.
Should a human be bitten by a
rabid, Or suspect rabid animal,
wash the wound promptly with
Hoop and water and place the pat-
ient under the care of a physician.
Notify the Medical Officer of
Health. Do not shoot or deatroa
the clog or animal which attacked.
The animal however should be
confined in a ante place wider
veterinary supervision for at least.
II days, The premature killing of
the anirnal might prevent accurate
diagnosis, of rabies. „Since rabies
vaccination of humans is still a
serious procedure and not without
eomplications, physicians do not
wish to proceed with it. unless the
danger is real.
School hoards might instruct
pupils to keep dogs at home, and
parents should warn children to
beware of stray, friendly and vic-
ious animals.
