Dr. D. A. Symond, Milford health officer, estimated that 85 to 90 of the Milford dogs had been immunized immu-nized and termed the mass-incoluation "very successful." An estimated 20 of the dogs were from South Milford Mil-ford and Minersville. At a recent special meeting the Milford City Council passed pas-sed an ordinance requiring all dogs domiciled within the city limits to be immunized against rabies. Their action followed death from rabies of a horse in a neighboring county, and fear that rabies, carried by foxes, skunks, bobcats and other wild animals, could be prevalent in. Beaver County. A follow-up clinic will be held in about three weeks, Dr. Symond said, at which time it is expected that any dogs missed in the Saturday clinic will be immunized, and also distemper and infectious hepatitis hepa-titis shots will be offered. |
