Animal Bites

 

The health department is required to investigate all reported bite incidents involving dog, cat, ferret, or any other animal that is commonly known to transmit rabies. The animal’s owner will be notified of quarantine requirements. After quarantine, a veterinarian must examine the animal to determine good health and update its rabies vaccination. If the bite involves a wild or stray animal, the animal may be euthanized and sent to the Ohio Department of Health to be tested for rabies.
