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.
