Who do I call regarding a suspected rabid animal?
: Rabies cases are handled by your local County Health Department. If someone has had actual physical contact with an animal suspected to be rabid, or if the suspected rabid animal had contact with a domestic animal, the suspect animal must be captured for testing. If you are unable to capture the animal yourself, you can call the NYS Environmental Conservation Police or your local or state police agency who can assist in capturing the suspect animal. If you have had contact with a suspected rabid animal, you should seek medical attention immediately.
