Comments:
Do not kill the animal unless confinement is impossible. If the
animal is alive and healthy after 10-14 days, exposure to rabies is
excluded. If the animal must be killed, do not club or shoot the
head. Send only the head packed in ice (do not freeze) to the State
Hygienic Laboratory, University of Iowa Research Park. Include
complete history of the animal. Call 319-335-4500 for further
consultation.
