The other day I was going though the report on the report for the Compendium of Animal Rabies Control and I came up with a question that I am hoping that someone can shead some light on. In the report they talk about ferrets of course...now in section B on Control Methods in Domestic and Confined Animals, sub-section 5 on Postexposure Management did anyone think that point c was very poorly worded and left some scarey implications? It reads: c. Other Animals. Other animals bitten by a rabid animal should be euthanized immediately. Such animals currently vaccinated with a vaccine approved by USDA for that species may be revaccinated immediately and placed in strict isolation for at least 90 days. When the I first read it, I jumped to the conclusion that all other animals should be killed. Not that vaccinated ones should be revaccinated and placed in isolation. Maybe I am nit-picking, but I find it very interesting that this sections allows for such blatant misinterpretation. If you read the other two sections on Dogs and Cats and Livestock. They are worded that "unvaccinated" animals should be slaughter or euthanized. When this is such a positive and hopeful document, it is unfortunate that it was not worded a bit better.

It's a shark riding on an elephant's back, just trampling and eating everything they see. [Posted in FML issue 2104]
