Health Department looking for dog that bit a person at wildflower preserve – 14850

August 26, 2022 by Mark H. Anbinder in 14850 Today
The Tompkins County Health Department says they’re looking for a dog that bit a person on Wednesday at the Mulholland Wildflower Preserve to make sure the dog doesn’t have a rabies infection. The incident occurred about 2:30pm on August 24 at the area off Giles Street in Ithaca, approximately halfway between first and second dam along Six Mile Creek.
The dog is described as “one of two medium-to-large black dogs that were being walked on leashes,” according to the Health Department. “The person walking the dogs was described as a white male with dreadlocks, who was walking with a woman.”
The Tompkins County Health Department have said that they need “to verify vaccination status and health of the biting dog through a ten day observation period. If the dog can be located and observed to be healthy by the Department, the risk of rabies infection can be ruled out.”
If health officials can’t rule out the possibility that the dog has rabies, the person who was bitten may have to undergo a series of rabies treatments that include painful injections.
Anyone with information about the dog is asked to call the Tompkins County Environmental Health Division at 607-274-6688.
