Dog Bite Panic in Assiut
The spread of stray dogs in the neighborhoods and villages of Assiut has raised residents’ concerns after an attack in the Sayed Factory area left seven people injured. Meanwhile, the governorate is working to establish a shelter in Bani Ghaleb, with 40 kennels and a total capacity of up to 200 dogs. The center will include a veterinary clinic and rooms for isolation and sterilization as part of a plan to reduce the number of dogs on the streets. This will be accompanied by campaigns to collect unowned dogs, vaccinate, tag and sterilize them, and then return them to their environment. The Health Directorate has warned of rabies, noting that dogs are responsible for about 85% of recorded cases. It urged anyone bitten to go to a hospital immediately to receive the vaccine, which is administered in four doses on the first, third, seventh and fourteenth days. The state covers the cost of treatment, estimated at around 3,000 Egyptian pounds. If rabies symptoms appear without preventive treatment, the disease is fatal in 100% of cases.
