Now (Jut Ike season of giving pea
and hunting with pels is upon nt. we
need to think a^nsfaoui rabies There
u no need to become afraid of rhbics
with the increase in reports laldy The
need for awareness and education is
necessary. Raccoons are pan of the
problem in the new increase of reports
of rabies among unvaccmaied pets at
home and or wild animalr. Raccoons
rarefy attack people One report did
involve a raccoon attacking a child
Raccoons do attack dogs. cats, and
other animals, ifa raccoon with rabies
bites an unvaccinated pet they mat
catch rabies This places the pets
owners at risk of catching rabies if the
pet bites and or scratches them. The
number of dog and cat deaths has
increased-due to biles from raccoons
infected with rabies We all know the
emotional and monetary lose this can
cause a family
People should not u> to pet any
wild animals We should warn
children not to pet strange and or wild
animals, in particular raccoons. It is
great to be inthe woods seeing animals
first hand in the wild, but these hands
to not have to touch the animals
Take all of your pets to the
Veterinarian to see if they require
vaccination for rabies In common
terms there are two kinds of rabies
sicknessyoucanidentify: I. "Dumb'*
rabies is when an animal, especially a
wild one acts too tame or too tired to
i
ran away boa you 2. Funous
rabies is the type wbea ike sniaisl
(wild or domestic) acts loo mean and
aggressive towards you Aav unusual
behavior show n by animals might be
a sign of rabies, aicb as night tune
animals out in the daylight or daytime
animals that ate oat at night. Do aot
let vourjpett roam around outdoors at
mght Take all of your pets to the
veterinarian for thou rabies shots The
best shot for them is the three veer
shot This vaoctnauoa last for three
years, and caa not be given to all age
groups of animals. Some of your pets
may be loo young for the three year
shot
Hopefully you will not be bitten,
but if vou are bitten or scratched by an
animal do these things. Wash the
wound with a lot of soap and water as
soon as you can. Then you should see
your, medical provider or go to the
nearest emergency department for
proper care. A tetanus shot will be
given to you if you neod one. Most
tetanus shots arc good for ten years
The medical prov ider may elect to
give you another one if it has been
between 5-7 yean since your last one
The attack may need to be repotted to
the local police. Someuan the facility
you go to will report the incident for
vou. if you have not reported it already
the medical provider may give you an
antibiotic to reduce the appearance of
infection from other germs
PediatricJPointers
One of the things we got concerned
about a* parenu is how often our
children have colds continuously
cspecudly through the wuftar time.
The question often asked to me as a
pediatrician is "U mv child having
too many colds?" What we have to
remember is that during infhncy and
in the preschool vears. children
average about 7 or I colds per year.
When you consider that the average
cold might last up to seven days, this
means as amch as 60 days in a year
could be spent with cold symptoms
and that be normal
The main reason kids get so many
.colds is they are constantly being
exposed to new viruses as voung
infants There are at least 200 cold
viruses in the environment The
younger the child, the were viruses he
is being exposed to an the less
protection his immune svstem has
against it. Children who attend
daycare, nurseries, or preschool are
directh exposed to more infections
than children who don't Infants kepi
in home based daycare rather than
large daycare centers tend to have less
complications during the first year of
life with common colds. Children with
