Home » News from Thailand » Rabies in Buri Ram: Three persons infected after stray dog bite
In the tambon Koke Kamin in Buri Ram, three people, including a toddler and some pets, were bitten by a rabies-infected stray dog.
The local government has therefore started a massive vaccination campaign. 1.400 dogs live in the tambon, including 200 stray dogs.
Rabies, also known as rabies, is a very serious infection that can be transmitted to humans by infected mammals (including dogs, cats and monkeys) through a lick, scratch or bite wound.
The time between infection and the first symptoms of the disease depends on a number of factors, such as the location of the bite or scratch and the amount of virus that enters the body. The first symptoms usually appear 20 to 60 days after infection. The disease starts with non-specific symptoms such as chills, fever, vomiting and headache. In a later stage, hyperactivity, neck stiffness, muscle cramps and paralysis occur. Ultimately, complications such as swallowing and breathing problems lead to death.

Most of the dogs that run loose on the street must be vaccinated or euthanized.
Many of these dogs look unappetizing because of the many inflammations.
It is a direct threat to public health, a pity that no attention is paid to this.
Besides that, the tourists don't like it at all.
Yours faithfully,
Vaccinating the far too large number of stray dogs is a mission impossible and does not lead to any actual approach, not to reduce rabies-infected dogs and not to reduce the too large numbers, which continues to mop up with the tap open, with all hazards to human and animal health.
The number will have to be reduced by making them sterile, putting them to sleep or, maybe strange but it really solves something, take them in an orderly way to where people eat dogs, many suffering dogs will be happy to be put out of their misery become.

Totally agree with jhvd… it seems like things are getting worse with the number of stray dogs.
They are a major problem in Thailand and a threat to human health.
Moreover, these dogs, which often also live in groups, are very threatening.
In Thailand, due to the presence of the (too) large number of stray dogs, it is practically impossible to walk or cycle without being threatened by said stray dogs.
As far as I am concerned, rigorous measures should be taken.
Stray dogs, ie dogs without an owner's collar, must be picked up and removed and then put to sleep afterwards. They multiply in the wild and therefore no health check is possible with the dire consequences.
I'm a real dog lover.
But it makes no sense to just let them eat it.
Better castration and sterilization and vaccinations.
It's just very hard to do anything about it because they take a dog here for a few months.
Because then they grow up and they are no longer fun.
Don't let them buy a submarine and they can spend that money on this and other good things.
But a child is not allowed to take away his toys.
Gr Rob
Dear Rob, you actually say yourself, people easily take a nice little dog, I've seen it happen here before.
Then it gets bigger and people don't like them so much anymore, what now?, simply the animal is dumped at the temple, along a beach or dumped elsewhere.
Then look again which one needs to be neutered or spayed? That keeps mopping with the tap open.
Many dogs suffer a lot, fights, wounds, flies on it, fungi and just scratching.
I'm also a real dog crazy, have had dogs in the house for 50 years, sometimes took them over from a shelter to be put down or from someone who was about to be dumped, now have 3, all 3 dump dogs from the street. See the dogs often suffer, what I said, it keeps mopping with the tap open.
As Westerners we are not used to eating dogs, it is not incomprehensible that you react to my suggestion in this way, but as I said, many dogs are ready to be put out of their misery.
If people in Thailand really want to do something about it, given the great redundancy, my suggestion does not seem so wrong.
Greeting.
Nico B
