I’m not sure if a dog has rabies, what do I do?
If a dog is bitten by another dog that you think has got rabies, put it safely away from people and other animals in a cage or chained up. Do not make direct contact but make sure it has food, water, shelter and its poo is cleaned away. Only kill it if the dog that bit it is confirmed to have rabies.
