Rule 3701-3-30 | Report of suspected rabid mammal.
Any licensed doctor of veterinary medicine or other person who examines, treats, owns, harbors, or otherwise cares for any mammal which exhibits symptoms or behavior suggestive of rabies, are to confine and isolate such mammal in suitable quarters and will report such fact within twenty-four hours after the symptoms or behaviors are observed or known to the health commissioner of the health district wherein such mammal is confined. Such mammal is to be confined until it has been determined that it is not afflicted with rabies. If it is determined that the mammal is rabid, the health commissioner must take such action as is necessary to prevent the occurrence of rabies in individuals or mammals known or presumed to have been exposed to such rabid mammal.
