No one has mentioned it yet, but I really hope that baby receives the rabies vaccine. Three attacks in five days (or was it 5 in 3)? That is quite a lot. Do coyotes carry rabies? I’m thinking yes because they’re mammals. Has that been mentioned in the news reports?
BTW, the rabies series isn’t that awful anymore. In 1993, because we were going into a wilderness for an extended period, our entire family including our 3-year old, went through the propholaxis vaccinations. We had a series of three shots in our arms. I understand that post-exposure is a series of five shots, in the arm, not the stomach.
Yes, there are receiving rabies shots...it was mentioned in the report.
You are likely correct.
The story said the attack occurred mid-day. It is somewhat unusual to spot a healthy coyote except in the early to mid morning or near dusk. Same goes for skunks and possums. If you see one during broad daylight, something is likely amiss - and it is also a symptom of rabies in these animals.
