community since 1982 rabies this summer in eastern ontario near prescott and greenbush the new strain of the fatal disease appears to have been carried into canada from the united states raccoons are like hitchhikers they latch on to tractor trailers or trains and can travel all over said darlene keates the health departments manager of rabies control natural resources ministry staff are working to stop the virus from spreading from the infected areas she said already more than 200 raccoons and some skunks caught from within a fivekilometre radius of the sites have been euthanized and tested for rabies because of their transient nature and the fact that the region already has a large population of raccoons the health department is urging local residents o take extra measures ensure your cats and dogs have uptodate rabies vacci nations avoid stray or wild animals do not feed wild animals keep your pets on a leash and dont let them run into the woods or fields do not leave food outside for your pet overnight do not leave garbage bins out overnight seek medical attention immediately if bitten or scratched by any animal report all animal bites and scratches to the health depart ment as soon as possible although the region hasnt had any rabies cases this year a strain carried by foxes used to be common keates said raccoons lured by garbage or food left outdoors are even more likely to approach homes it may be difficult to tell if a wild animal has rabies but keates said its usually easy to detect the symptoms in your own pets one type known as dumb rabies will cause a normally aggressive animal to appear depressed and retreat a second type furious rabies may rouse a docile quiet animal to aggressive behaviour if bitten or scratched by a rabiesinfected animal a human will need a series of shots to prevent death the shots used to be injected in the stomach but are now administered into the muscles near the wound once rabies symptoms appear in a human there is no treatment keates said public health inspectors will respond to any biting inci dents within 18 hours they can be reached 24 hours a day by calling 18003615653 village nissan has brilliant gars
