Nephi rabies clinic successful; control officers offer advice Two hundred sixty-tw- o immunizations were given in the rabies Nephi immunization clinic held last' Saturday, according to William C.

If your pet begins to act strangely, isolate it for a day or so until it returns to normal, Stowell said. In recent weeks there has been an alarming increase in animal rabies in Utah, according to the Utah Division of Health. Since July 10, 11 rabid bats have been examined by the department. This represents a serious health threat, the de- partment says. The Division of Health points out that rabies is a virus which attacks the central nervous system. Animals which normally defend themselves by biting are the most apt to infect others, including humans. Once rabies is contracted, there is no known satisfactory treatment. Only one human case is known to have been cured to date. An animal with rabies may become moody and want to be left alone, or it may be overly friendly and seek comfort. Then it may start wandering around and biting other animals and even snapping at its owner. Then comes paralysis, convulsions, coma, and death usually within ten days or less of onset. In another form of rabies there may be early drowsiness and paralysis of the lower jaw, progressing rapidly and followed by sudden death. Individuals should avoid contact with sick or strangely acting animals. If bitten, a person should report immediately for medical care and save the animal for examination by a veterinarian, the health department says.
