Dog Rabies Prevention in Canine

In case you're bitten by a dog with rabies symptoms (even though you're not sure), you must immediately and carefully wash the wound with water and soap, and clean the bitten area with a brush really well. After that, apply a disinfectant. Washing the wound immediately is very important as it gets rid of and destroys the viruses at the entrance of the organism. Later, you must immediately contact the veterinarian clinic or official anti-rabies Center. You must also try to track down the animal that has bitten you and take him to the center as well.

Except for very special extreme aggressive cases, you mustn't sacrifice the animal. Once the animal is dead, it takes longer and is more difficult to make a correct diagnosis of the situation. The official anti-rabies centers have the facilities to attend people and animals, and in most cases it is free. Always remember that you must vaccinate your dog.
