1. Immediately isolate the dog: keep them away from people and other animals. Confine them to a room or crate where they cannot escape.
2. Contact the local animal control or rabies control agency. Explain your situation and ask for assistance with treatment or resources available to help you.
3. Monitor your dog closely for signs of rabies. Rabies symptoms may develop within a few days to several weeks after exposure to the virus and can include fever, vomiting, foaming at the mouth, aggression, paralysis, and difficulty swallowing.
4. Practice strict hygiene measures. Avoid direct contact with the dog's saliva, urine, or feces. Wear gloves and wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water if you must handle them.
5. Contact your local health department. They may be able to provide additional resources or guidance.
