Residents of Nassau are urged to be cautious of domestic animals behaving strangely as well as wild animals following three recent animal attacks in the town.  One of the animals has tested positive for rabies.

Please make sure pet vaccinations are current and to advise children of the dangers of encounters with animals exhibiting strange behaviors.

According to the Rensselaer County Health Department, twelve (12) animals have tested positive for rabies in the months of June and July.  They include nine (9) raccoons, two (2) skunks and one (1) fox.

The Rensselaer County Health Department would like to remind our residents of the following information:

• Rabies exposure can include a bite, scratch, or saliva contact with a rabid animal.

• Residents should avoid contact with wild or stray animals.

• Report all animal bites to humans or contact with wild animals to the Rensselaer County Department of Health for follow-up.

• Although rabies is normally transmitted through a bite or scratch of an infected animal, the virus can be transmitted by contact with saliva through mucous membranes (such as eyes or nose) or through broken skin. Therefore it is important to remember if your pet or any animal is attacked or wounded by a potentially rabid animal, to protect yourself first and never handle the wounded animal with your bare hands.

   

For more information on rabies prevention, including the schedule of rabies clinics for your pets, or what you should do if exposed to a potentially rabid animal, please contact the Rensselaer County Department of Health at 270-2655 or visit their web page at http://www.rensco.com/publichealth.asp
