Rabies is a deadly disease caused by a virus that attacks the nervous system. The virus is secreted by saliva and is usually transmitted to people and animals by a bite from an infected animal.
What to do when bitten by a rabid dog?
- See a physician immediately
- Report the bite to a local health department and animal control authorities
- Confine the animal that bit you and call local animal authorities for evidence
- After the recommended above, have your pet vaccinated for rabies if it doesnt have a current rabies vaccination.
