Dvss: 139 Canines At Sspca Get Anti Rabies Vaccination

KUCHING, Dec 16: The ongoing battle with rabies continues in Sarawak and the Department of Veterinary Services Sarawak (DVSS) was at the Sarawak Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SSPCA) shelter over two days to assist with the vaccination of dogs at the latter’s premises.

SSPCA president Datin Donna Wee said this was the third year that DVSS has sent their teams to SSPCA to assist with the vaccination of dogs.

“Two DVSS vaccination teams were at the shelter and over the two mornings 139 dogs were given their vaccinations, the majority receiving booster shots whilst four received their first dose.

“Besides vaccinations, 40 dogs were selected for microchipping. These dogs will become part of a Rabies Serum Titre Test Study, a collaboration between the Institute of Health and Community Medicine (IHCM), University Malaysia Sarawak (Unimas), SSPCA and DVSS.

“This Serum Titre Study measures the antibodies in the blood and serves to indicate whether the dogs develop immunity to rabies one month after vaccination, and to what degree. This means that the DVSS will have to take blood samples from the 40 microchipped dogs and send these samples for testing to see the actual degree of immunity to rabies.
