Do not feed, befriend, handle or try to make pets of wild animals or stray domestic animals.
Vaccinate domestic dogs, cats and selected livestock, according to your veterinarian's recommendations.
Obey animal control ordinances, particularly not allowing domestic animals to run at large.
If bitten by an animal, immediately wash the wound thoroughly with soap and water and seek medical attention from your doctor or hospital emergency room.
After receiving appropriate medical care, contact the Montgomery County Health Department so an epidemiological investigation can be initiated to determine whether post-exposure rabies injections are required.
