A wild animal bit my pet. What do I do?

Immediately call us or the police. Do not approach the wild animal, but note time and location so we can try to find it if needed. Take your pet to a veterinarian. If the animal presents a rabies risk (for example, from a raccoon, skunk, woodchuck, fox, or bat), handle your pet with gloves and wash with soap any area that may have saliva from the attacker on it. If the attacking animal is dead, do not handle it, but preserve the remains for Animal Control to inspect.
