Toronto Public Health prefers to keep animals alive for the confinement period unless there is a clear and significant animal welfare concern, as noted by the attending Veterinarian. If there has been a human exposure and euthanasia is deemed appropriate, contact Toronto Public Health to notify of pending euthanasia and discuss next steps.

Inquiring about exposures prior euthanasia is necessary for Toronto Public Health to rule out that a person was exposed to rabies and avoid potentially unnecessary medical treatment.

Adverse reactions to the vaccine may be confused with the development of signs and symptoms of rabies in the animal.

Inquiring about exposures prior to rabies vaccination is necessary to ensure the animal does not experience adverse reactions from the vaccine while under confinement or prior to confinement.

If an exposure has not been reported to Toronto Public Health, veterinarians must report the exposure, refrain from vaccinating / euthanizing the animal, and follow the directions from a Public Health Inspector. This is because animals involved in exposure incidents may be under a legal Order prohibiting the animal owner from vaccinating/revaccinating or euthanizing the animal. It is important for veterinarians to inquire about biting incidents or other human exposures that occurred within the 10 days (or 14 days in the case of livestock and/or exotic animals) preceding a planned rabies vaccination or euthanasia.
