Cyclist who assisted catching stray dog Abelia Road on Sunday

Well done to you. Good luck on the meds.

Big up to you cbdcaffie! Most would not consider helping given the situation! You know when you have done the right thing cause it feels like you have!

[cbdcaffie]

It doesn't feel like I have now. The meds have rendered me useless - I feel really sick

[Vetseun]

I am found and on the necessary meds.

 

I suspected the dog could be rabid and was extremely cautious, handled the dog with my full finger gloves on and with a sheet wrapped around it.

 

My only concern was riding for another hour or so and potentially wiping my mouth or eyes, hence going straight onto the meds.

 

In hindsight I should of left the creature based on my suspicions and phoned the SPCA, but was compelled to help a lady that was battling with trying to get it into her car. Ultimately the dog would have carried on running around the suburbs and would have bitten someone or another dog, so best it is under control.

Well done. Best Wishes

All the best with the meds. I recently had to do the course of 5 injections as well after a dog bite. That pap, dead feeling got better after injection number 3.

Thanks guys.

 

Yes, thanks to social media. I was reached (although anonymous to all) within hours of the dog being declared rabid.

Scary stuff. Well done for taking action. What happens after the meds? Do they have to continue testing you from time to time?

No. Provided its caught within a 72 hour window, then the antidote will do its job.
