Report an Animal Bite or Bat Exposure

Please complete this form if you or your child have been bitten by an animal or exposed to a bat or other animal that could have rabies.

Our staff will contact you within one business day to ask additional questions and determine if the animal needs testing and/or if the exposed person needs medical treatment.
If you are completing this form after hours or on the weekend, please seek medical care if an animal has bitten someone.
If you find a bat in your house, please don't let it go until you speak with a member of our staff. We provide case-by-case consultation regarding the need for post-exposure prophylaxis (rabies vaccine). Please visit our website for tips on capturing a bat. Please do not bring live bats to the Health Department. Fill out this form and wait for a staff member to contact you with next steps.
