According to the introduction of the city's dog management department, in order to strengthen dog management, protect the public's health and personal safety, and protect the city's appearance and environment, the city has implemented a dog license system to strictly limit and classify dogs. Units or individuals need to raise dogs, must apply to the local police station, approved by the public security department at a higher level. Dogs are not allowed without approval. According to Tianjin Dog Breeding Regulations promulgated and implemented by 1996, units or individuals that have been approved to raise dogs should also take dogs to the veterinary station designated by the animal husbandry department for rabies vaccination within 30 days from the date of approval, and get a dog immunization certificate. With this certificate, they should go through the registration formalities with the public security department and get a dog license and dog license. However, according to statistics, so far, there are less than 40,000 dogs with licenses or dog tags in this city, and according to survey estimates, there are nearly 500,000 dog owners in this city. In recent years, there are more and more pet dogs and ornamental dogs, but dog owners do not register their dogs according to the regulations, which not only makes their dogs "dangerous" to be washed and killed at any time, but also causes dog owners to be fined several thousand yuan to ten thousand yuan. The greater harm is that dogs without household registration are as difficult to manage as stray dogs. Even if the owner takes the initiative to vaccinate the dog regularly, the unlicensed dog can't get the canine immunization card, commonly known as the immunization card. In this way, it will cause confusion to management. In the event of an epidemic, it is difficult for managers to check which dogs have been immunized and which dogs need to be vaccinated immediately. Illegally raising dogs will lay a terrible hidden danger for the epidemic of rabies.
In view of the problem that many people think that undocumented dogs can't get immunization shots, the relevant person in charge of the Municipal Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Station pointed out that all veterinary stations and pet hospitals now provide immunization services for dogs, regardless of whether they have registered permanent residence or not.
■■ Experts interpret rabies.
The incubation period is different and the infection forms are different.
Wang Zhicheng, a senior veterinarian at Tianjin Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Station, said that rabies, also known as rabies, is an acute infectious disease in the central nervous system of people and animals. Most people are infected by dog bites. The most terrible thing about rabies is that once people get sick, the mortality rate is almost 100%. Another terrible thing about rabies is that the incubation period is different, ranging from 10 day to 10 year. The incubation period of most people is 1 to 3 months. Moreover, dogs and cats that are not sick but have viruses are also contagious.
People suffering from rabies are: particularly manic, nervous, afraid of wind and water, salivation, pharyngeal muscle spasm, and finally paralysis is life-threatening.
The saliva of animals suffering from rabies, such as dogs and cats, contains a lot of viruses. The route of transmission is not only that people are bitten and scratched by sick animals, and the virus invades the body, but also that the mucous membrane is an important entrance for the virus to invade, such as the conjunctiva of the eyes is stained by the saliva of sick dogs, and the anal mucosa is touched and licked by dogs, which can cause disease. Rabies virus may also pollute the external environment such as stones and branches through infected saliva, and then pollute people's wounds and make people sick.
In addition, if people are in close contact with dogs, although they are not bitten, the wound is infected by the saliva of sick dogs, which will also lead to illness.
Black dogs are more dangerous.
People are usually prone to rabies. The survey shows that dog owners and people who have more contact with domestic dogs are particularly vulnerable to infection and illness. But so far, dog owners in this city are rarely aware of the dangers of rabies. Therefore, although there are more and more dog owners in recent years, there are not many dog owners who apply for physical examination and vaccination for dogs. In addition, although the dog-raising regulations stipulate that the registration fee paid by each dog is reduced from 5,000 yuan to 3,000 yuan, ordinary dog owners are still unwilling to bear this fee and secretly raise it with luck, which brings difficulties to unified management. Recently, some public security bureaus in this city will launch another "campaign" to beat dogs. Anyone who finds a dog without a license will be included in the clean-up scope, and his dog will be killed according to law, and a fine will be imposed depending on the circumstances.
30 yuan is the only vaccine.
It is reported that rabies occurs in many countries. After the liberation of China, due to various preventive measures, the incidence rate dropped significantly. However, due to the gradual increase of dog owners in recent years, the incidence rate has increased. However, rabies is completely preventable and controllable, and vaccination against rabies is a very effective and important prevention channel. Tianjin Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Station, located in the north of Yixing, Beichen District of this city, has started to import enough domestic vaccines and imported vaccines. The hotline 26999352 will be opened from now on to answer people's questions. Located in the veterinary station around Liqizhuang, the pet hospital of the Municipal Animal Husbandry Bureau near the middle line and Di Wei Road, and the pet hospital near the water park, it is the designated inoculation unit for licensed dogs in this city at present. But now all veterinary stations and pet hospitals in this city will vaccinate all dogs with or without certificates on the principle of "vaccinating dogs". At present, the cost of injecting rabies vaccine in this city ranges from 20 yuan to 30 yuan. Written by Li Haiyan, a reporter of this group of new newspapers.
