Bit by rabid poodle?

Question

I just killed a rabid poodle in my back yard. I killed him with a shovel and a pecan limb. He bit me twice while I was hitting at him. I aint got no insurance so I can't go to the doctor. Can I just put alcohol on the bites. Can I bury that dog in the yard, or can you catch rabies from the ground.

Answer 1

How do you know that it had rabies?  You need to contact animal control and they will take care of the dog.  It will need to be tested for rabies to be sure.

Next, you MUST see the doctor.  If it truely had rabies, you need to acquire immediate treatment or you will also die.  You can call a local vet clinic - they can direct you to your local animal control and what to do with the animal.  You must contact your own doctor to begin your treatment.

I wish you the best...

Answer 2

How do you know he was rabid?    I hope to God he wasn't rabid and you get put away for animal cruelty or atleast fined (since that is where it really hurts, the wallet).    You now need to call animal control.   And if the dog had rabies you have to go through a series of shots so you don't get rabies and die

No don't bury it the owners are probably worried sick and need closure.  Call animal control

Answer 3

Ok guy-how do you KNOW it was rabid? No you cannot bury it,you need to call local animal control and you need a bazillion very painful injections...

Answer 4

bit by a rabid poodle or any animal you'll get rabies.

Answer 5

Ahhhhh, I see we have a NEW troll on the premisis.

Answer 6

You killed a dog! You monster! Rabies or not! I hope you get rabies, and get arrested! See if your insurance covers that you monster!

Answer 7

The pecan limb is a nice touch...

Answer 8

can't be sure it's rabid until a laboratory confirms it by testing the animal...you need to get to a hospital now or you'll die a long slow crazy  

Answer 9

I can't believe you!  You should just let yourself be hurt!  

Answer 10

Well if you haven't already washed the wounds, get off the computer and thoroughly wash and flush the areas with warm water. Since you ain't got no insurance for treatment if the dog was rabid you won't be around too long to worry about catching rabies from the ground.

Answer 11

You have to get someone to suck the poison out.  If you don't things will start to fall off.  I saw this guy on the internet that was bitten and no one helped him out.  he is now just a head and one arm.  It was on cnn and I checked it out on snopes, so it's got to be true.  this guy from Dodge Co. told me that diesel would cure it too.  good luck.  You need to burn the poodle carcass so no one else gets it.  You know how PETA morons are!!

Answer 12

No you can not just put alcohol on it. You will get the rabies from the bites, that how it is transmitted.

You need treatment. And that animals needs to be properly discarded. Call up animal control.

Now how did you know the dog was rabid? The only for sure way to tell is by doing a biopsy on its brain. You could have this done first to make sure its not rabid and then you don't have to see a doctor..but if it was and you wasted time you may be too late for the shoots.

Rabies is a deadly disease and without treatment you are most likely going to die.
