In the past few days, an unknown stray dog ​​has almost made people all over Langzhong City nervous.

From the morning of October 10th to the morning of October 11th, 22 people were suspected of being bitten by the same stray dog ​​in Langzhong Ancient City and Old City. On the morning of the 10th alone, 16 people came to the Sanchen Street Community Health Service Center to receive rabies vaccinations.

For several days, a stray yellow dog of unknown origin broke the peace of the ancient city of Langzhong. From the morning of October 10th to the morning of October 11th, 22 people in Langzhong City were suspected of being bitten by the same stray dog. After a city-wide search, the yellow dog that was suspected of biting many people has been arrested and killed, and those bitten have received corresponding emergency treatment (Chengdu Commercial Daily reported).

A reporter from Chengdu Business Daily found that although the yellow dog suspected of injuring people has been caught and killed, the concerns of local residents have not been completely eliminated, because based on the current situation, it is not completely certain that the yellow dog that was killed was the yellow dog that injured many people.

In addition, the reporter also learned that in addition to the 22 people already counted, 4 dogs and 1 cat were also bitten by suspected rabid dogs. On the 12th, the relevant person in charge of the Langzhong City Rabies Prevention and Control Headquarters Office told a reporter from the Chengdu Commercial Daily that in the future, relevant local departments will continue to identify and kill suspected rabies and animals bitten by suspected rabies, striving to ensure that no one is left out, and at the same time increase publicity so that residents who have been bitten by suspected rabies but have not been vaccinated against rabies can go to the epidemic prevention department in time to get vaccinated.

Continue to search for dogs

4 dogs and 1 cat were also bitten, and the dogs will be sampled for testing

In recent days, yellow dogs that have bitten many people have become a lingering nightmare for local residents in Langzhong.

Based on the descriptions of many people who were bitten by dogs, the dog that bit them was a "yellow native dog." At around 8 a.m. on the 11th, the Langzhong police finally discovered the suspected dog near a farmhouse and promptly and decisively killed it. According to a resident surnamed Zhang, she and six other injured people went to the scene to identify themselves, and they all believed that the yellow dog that was killed was very consistent with the culprit who bit them. On the 12th, a reporter from Chengdu Business Daily visited Langzhong and learned that the "yellow dog" not only bit many residents in two days, but also suspected of biting 4 dogs and 1 cat.

“I can’t believe that it actually bit my cat.” Ms. Hu, a citizen of Langzhong, told a reporter from Chengdu Commercial Daily that around 6 or 7 pm on the 10th, the cat at home ran to the street alone to stay, and was bitten by a yellow dog. "I didn't know what was going on at the time. Later, people around me said that (the cat) was bitten by a dog, and it seemed to be the big yellow dog (that biting)." Ms. Hu took the cat home distressedly and found that the cat's right front leg was bitten and the injury was quite serious. Ms. Hu then found Yunnan Baiyao to treat the cat's injuries, but the injury still did not improve. "It looks like it is going to die now."

Considering that the cat was bitten by a large yellow dog that was suspected of being a rabid dog, Ms. Hu told her family to try not to have contact with the cat and put the cat in a cardboard box. On the evening of the 11th, the cat tried to get out of the cardboard box. Ms. Hu's husband, Mr. Wang, put the cat back into the cardboard box, but the cat scratched his finger. That night, Ms. Hu accompanied Mr. Wang to the Sanchen Street Community Health Service Center to get vaccinated.

Yesterday, the relevant person in charge of the Langzhong City Rabies Prevention and Control Headquarters Office said that they have learned about Ms. Hu’s cat being bitten by a dog, and will next notify the agriculture and animal husbandry department in the jurisdiction to treat the cat in a pollution-free manner. It is reported that on the 11th, while the local public security, urban management, sub-district office and other departments in Langzhong were searching for suspected rabid big yellow dogs, they also received reports from residents that four dogs had been bitten by big yellow dogs. In the end, the four bitten dogs were also killed. After taking samples from the four hunted dogs, the agriculture and animal husbandry department directed the community sub-district office to conduct harmless treatment on site.

Currently, the Langzhong Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Department has taken samples of brain tissue, saliva and other specimens from suspected rabid dogs that have been killed and sent them to the Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention for testing to determine whether the yellow dog that has been killed has rabies virus.

Ruling out omissions

The local area continues to hunt and kill animals bitten by suspected rabies

How to ensure that no one is missed?

On the 12th, a reporter from Chengdu Business Daily learned from the Langzhong City Health and Family Planning Department that there have been no new cases of bites from suspected rabies. In addition, the local government has also notified all sub-district offices in the city to increase publicity to residents in their jurisdictions. If someone is bitten by a suspected rabid dog, they should go to the epidemic prevention department for vaccination in a timely manner.

A person in charge of the Complaints and Calls Office of Baoning Sub-district Office in Langzhong City, surnamed Li, said that the sub-district office has registered the bitten residents in the jurisdiction and keeps an eye on the movements of these injured people.

As for the suspected rabid big yellow dog that has been killed, although it has been identified by multiple injured people, it is still not completely certain that this big yellow dog is the one that originally injured people. Therefore, the investigation work of the relevant local departments in Langzhong has not yet ended.

The relevant person in charge of the Langzhong City Rabies Prevention and Control Headquarters Office said that they will continue to identify and kill suspected rabies and animals bitten by suspected rabies, striving to ensure that no one is left out, and at the same time closely monitor the local rabies epidemic situation.
