Prevention of Hydrophobia in Dogs.
Have a veterinary surgeon give
your dog the preventive treatment
against rabies; then if he is bitten
by a dog with rabies, he is almost
sure not to develop the disease.
2. It is claimed that muzzling all
dogs for two years would eradicate
rabies. This has been tried in a few
countries with almost perfect success.
The two measures spoken of, namely-the preventive serum and muzzling of dogs, along with the destruction of all worthless dogs, and keeping dogs at home especially at night would almost surely prevent hydrophobia. The running at large of dogs unmuzzled, and unprotected against rabies by the preventive Pasteur treatment is a great menace to the people of the South.
By taking up the fight against rabies in a sane and systematic manner we will make the dog always our friend and never our foe.--The Progressive Farmer.
