Common Solutions and Frequently Asked Questions

• What do I do if an animal bites me?
  If you are bitten by an animal and it breaks the skin you need to report it so a Bite Report can be completed and submitted to the Health Department. You can report it to Animal Control 517-639-3210, your local Police Agency or to the Health Department 517-279-9561. If the bite occurs after office hours then you need to call 911 so they can dispatch an Officer or a Deputy to take the report.  All bites need to be reported immediately so the mandatory 10 day quarantine can be started.
