A veterinarian must examine the animal after the quarantine to verify the animal's good health and update its rabies vaccination. If the bite involves a wild or stray animal, the animal may be euthanized so it can be inspected by the Ohio Department of Health for rabies.A copy of the animal bite report form may be found at https://mchdohio.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/ANIMAL-BITE-FORM.pdf
