Looks like the coyote suspected of biting those boys in Seattle has been shot. The head shot the young male and do so much damage they can't test for rabies. Nice shooting, Tex. Posted Image You'd THINK they would have known the animal needed to be treated for rabies and that they needed the brain in tact for the test.http://www.forbes.co.../ap2707996.html

What an idiot...
I like beautiful women, fine wine and poking dead things with a stick!"If you carry a gun, people will call you paranoid. That's ridiculous. If I have a gun, what in the hell do I have to be paranoid for."Socialism is not a Republic.

You can hop but you can't hide. Yahi Bowmen. Its not how far you can shoot but how close to the game you get when you shoot. Sights we don't need any sights. Why waist time reloading when I can be making arrows.

I still don't understand why they need an intact brain for rabies testing, considering all the high tech medical advances we've made in the last 100 years. Since rabies is transmitted thru saliva, why can't they just test the saliva? Whatever.

Rabies doesn't survive outside the body very well. The neurological damage evidence is very diagnostic for rabies and is focused in the brain. In my case, they would never found it anyway. :lol: My wife is a vet and I asked her this ? some time ago. I had my idea that was the case, but it was good to confirm it.db

When I got my rabies shots as a kid I had been bit by a dog. The told us it would take 30 days to grow a culture to determine if the dog had been rabid. It would only take 2 weeks to contract rabies if the dog had been rabid. Go figure!

I bet the TV show "CSI" could get a test done in less than an hour. :lol: You mean TV isn't real?

CSI has a do-hickie that makes the rabies virus glow a pleasant pink!

Rabies cannot be cultured. What they do is a titer test. The titer indicates an exposure to the virus. It takes time for the body to display a presence of a reaction to the exposure to rabies. It can sometimes take months for symptoms of rabies to show.db

So what is a titer test?

Its a blood test that test antibody-antigens in the patient. For instance if you had measles as a kid you should have the antibodies for it as an adult. That would produce a positive titer. Health care providers get the Hepatitis B shot that cause us to develop an immunity to Hep B. Our blood test produce a positive titer. If not you need more of the antigen, which is in the series of shots. The rabies issue is why when you get bit by an animal that may have rabies you get the shots. It takes so long to deteremine if the animal is positive you will already have problems and then it to late to receive the shots. Rabies shot series are very painful, several shots and a large volume. Only given never received. Just like my mom told me to do. Hopefully I got that right. Been a long time since school. Scott
