Rabies is a dangerous disease that is carried by foxes, wolves, or wolverines. It can be transmitted to dogs and humans; and is untreatable, or fatal to humans.
Rabies is usually transmitted by saliva in a bite, but a dog or person does not have to be bitten to get rabies. Saliva on a person’s hands can transfer the disease through the eyes, nose, mouth, or small cuts, so even licking by an animal that has rabies is dangerous. Not every bite results in rabies, but if a person develops the disease, it is fatal.
Ask the Conservation Officer if they are seeing cases of rabies, before beginning the trapping season. If there is a rabies outbreak, take special care when handling trapped animals, even when they are dead.
If possible, all dogs should also be vaccinated for distemper and parvovirus, which are severe diseases of dogs, but not transmissible to people. If you want to protect your dog against these diseases or information, contact Page Burt, or John Hickes (867) 645-2650 (Rankin Inlet) information on Vaccines.
Parvovirus is a diarrhea disease that can kill a puppy in only a couple days and distemper is a respiratory disease that can spread to the brain and affect a dog’s balance, and muscular control, BOTH ARE PREVENTABLE BY VACCINATION. Full protection requires two shots of a combined vaccine. Puppies should be vaccinated at 6 weeks, and between 13 weeks of age. After that, the dog should be vaccinated annually for parvo, and distemper.
All puppies are likely infected with roundworms and should be dewormed at about 6 to 13 weeks. If you feed raw fish to your dog, it likely will become infected by tapeworms, and will need deworming twice a year. Page Burt, or John Hickes can provide information on this as well.
