Dr. Mitehell ordered the ether
two calves, 'which 1 had already
unloved atom the :pen, either
again -quarantined or sold for
Mlated ate slaughter. Incidental-
ly,; I _chose the latter order,
which I felt was the better thing
to. do.
"'The infected ,calf was ordered
tor be left where it , was until
el ads cattle, when the brain
would be sent to :Hull laborator-
i.es' and the carcass buried.
I'believe many people have a
confused opinion of the sump.
toms of rabies, and I pass along
to your readers my personal
observations on the matter. The
fox discovered, in my barn was
a' "quiet.' one. True, I realized
ii+ was unusual for a fox to be
ina barn, but T also.whilst lst tak-
ing precautions. kit that because,
it was "quiet' it apparently
would do no harm.
`IIIowever, I discovered this to
be a very typical symptom in
illy calf, especially in the early
stages. It first of all went "off
feed", and although it would try ;
to: "make for" strangers who
entered the barn, to see it yawn
quite frequently was quite com-
mon, which is almost a certain
symptom of rabies.
Of course, there was a great
amount of saliva, which is the ,
means of contraction, the virus
of which only lives for approxi -
Mately an hour around the pen.;
It would have to come in con
tart with broken skin on a hu-
man or on on an animal before
it could he contacted, and even
then only a certain percentage'
would be affected,
'However, I do not wish to
minimize the dangers, neither
dti I wish to State here my in.;
terpretation of the many symp-
toms as explained to me by the
veterinarians. After all, I am
npt a veterinarian myself, so it:
you have any reasons to be sus-
picious, I recommend .you get
tri touch with one.
-To claim compensation for an
infected animal it must be left
tq die. Only the brain is ex•
amined for rabies and if an
animal is destroyed before death,
tl`ie virus which travels the nerve
tissues from the place of entry.
May not as yet have reached
the brain when the animal is
destroyed, hence the reason for
not always discovering rabies in
e rabid animal.
-Four days elapsed from the
time I became suspicious until
My calf died. At times I became'
irdignart that it should be lett
to suffer so, until I was told that
it was very doubtful if the' calf
was sufiering, as niueli, ass its
actions would seem to indicate.
11 I had another one I would
think twice before letting it die
a "natural' death if it was soley
for eempensation purposes. But,
on. the other hand, rabies hate
to he proven in order to be a
protection to the rest of the herd,'
by means of vaccination, spray•
ing, etc.
The risk is too great. I would
strongly recommend. even though
it isn't ln0 percent effective, that
every one who owns pets and
domestic animals should have
then vaeeinated.
I have heard it said: '•Why
vaeeinale? T h ' government
pays compensation anyhow."
I have as yet all that `red
tape' to I;n through. If you raise
cattle snley for financial pur-
poses, if you enjoy waiting for
busy government veterinarians
to come to your aid, if you want
more practise at making a good
job signing your name on this'
document and that, if you like
placing long distance telephone
calls, if you like digging holes,
well, OK. 1 don't.
Have a heart. Do all in your
power to rid our province of
this dread disease
