When Jilly was attacked, I called 911 and Animal Control to report a dangerous dog attack and AC visited the people and gave them a ticket for an off-leash animal plus served them with a warrant to take the dog for voluntary confinement at the vet in our city for 10 days to be observed for possible rabies, or allow them to euthanize/send the head for brain testing or surrender the dog for city testing and a fine. They complied and took the dog for 10 days confinement at the vet and then AC "educated" them on what would happen should the dog ever attack a dog or person again. They had the dog at the same clinic where Jilly's surgery was done to repair her wounds from the attack so the staff kept me informed that the dog was showing no signs of rabies, thank goodness. On the 11th day when they picked it up, Jilly had a post-op appointment and we saw them as they were leaving with the dog, which was given a clean bill of health.
Aren't your AC required to do something to find out for sure if this dog had rabies or anything? I would think public health regulations require reporting and observing the dog to be sure. After all, rabies vax aren't 100%.
Again, I'm so sorry for what happened to your little baby Ana and know some of what you must be suffering. Thinking and praying for you. God bless you.
