IMPHAL, Jan 4 : A team from Dog Protection Society (DPS), Manipur, including a doctor, have found a dog suspected to be infected with rabies at Moirang Ithai Khunou Bamon Lampak, Bishnupur district.
According to DPS, Manipur, the dog was likely abandoned by its owner after it became sick. The allegedly infected dog, then, began attacking other dogs in the neighbourhood, at which juncture DPS was contacted by the locals.
Taking the situation into consideration, an anti-rabies vaccination camp will be conducted on January 6 jointly organised by DPS, Manipur and Ithai Khunou Development Organisation (IKHDO).
Further, in order to curb the spread of the disease, 10 dogs which were in close vicinity of the allegedly infected dog have been administered with anti-rabies vaccine.
DPS, Manipur also made an appeal to dog owners of the State to get their pets properly vaccinated and ensure that they do not become a menace in public spaces which may lead to overall mistreatment of dogs in general.
