In various parts of Europe where rabies is preva- lent a control program- me involving injection of chicken heads with the live virus and deposit- ing them in areas highly populated with carriers has met with some suc- cess. The idea is that wildlife carriers will eat the bait and vaccinate themselves. any pet owners neg- Iéct' to vaccinate their. ets and it is highly un- usual for any wild ani- mal to seek human com- panionship. It may mean that you have come face to face with a rabid at- tacker. A vaccination programme for your pet should begin when the cat or dog is three months old. Your, veter- inarian will provide you with a booster vaccina- tion schedule. As stated by Dr. J. Cummins at the Univer- sity of Western Ontario the effective immuniza- tion period may be re- duced in areas where certain air pollutants, notably Dioxin, Furan and P.C.B. are found at high levels. He main- tains that even a vaccin- ated pet's resistance to rabies may be lowered in areas of environment- al stress such as dump sites or waste disposal units suggesting that if you life in such areas you should consider ~ vaccinating your pet more often. Simple Steps to Follow Vaccinate all animals. Repeat vaccinations yearly or as advised by your veterinarian. Keep pets on a_ leash, especially areas where other animals are likely to be met. Keep pets, especially cats, indoors at night. Many night roaming animals, not- ably skunks, carry and transmit the disease. Stay away from wild ani-* mals.

Do not touch any dead animal. If this is unavoidable wear lea- ther mitts or gloves. Rabies is a reportable disease. If you sight or come in contact with a suspected rabid ani- mal, an officer of health must be contacted. Do not kill a suspected ra- bid animal unless it is wild or attacks you. In- stead isolate it if possible and seek help. If an animal you own shows signs of being sick, do not attempt to diagnose what is wrong or to treat it. Call a vet- erinarian. If you come in contact with the saliva of an animal who may be rabid, wash the affected. area well with soap and water. Wounds should be thoroughly flush- ed for several min- utes. Shield the eyes, nose and mouth from reflected spray. Once cleaned, apply antisep- tic and contact a doctor immediately. If you have never seen an animal with rabies consider yourself very fortunate because read- ing about it and seeing the real thing is very different, especially when it is a pet. And to see a human being with it or in all actuality the after effects of a human being that had been bitten by a rabid dog is horrendous to say the very least. J.
