With the cooperation of Broward County Animal Care and Control, suspected rabid animals are quarantined and/or tested to determine if the animal may have transmitted rabies to a human or pet through a bite or scratch. The Broward County Health Department also consults with patients, physicians, and veterinarians regarding the current recommendations for treating a rabies exposure.
