Diseases of Animals
Similar arrangements with the Corporation of London Vetinary Officer
exist in this connection.
In December a report was received from the Divisional Officer of the
Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food that a Siamese Kitten with symptoms
of rabies was being isolated at the premises of a vetinary surgeon in the Borough.
Earlier in the year there had been a case of rabies in a dog at Camberley

The animal died shortly after notification was received and pathological
examination proved negative for rabies.
