Animal Bites and Quarantines
What do I do if a dog or cat bites me?
Colorado revised statute 25-4-603 requires all animal bites be reported within twelve (12) hours.
To report a dog or cat bite you will need to call the County where the bite happened, not where the owner of the dog or cat lives. If you were bitten in the City and County of Denver you would report the animal bite to the Division of Animal Control at (303) 698-0076. Other wise check the listing for out of county agencies.
Reptiles and squirrels are not carriers of rabies and therefore are not quarantined for rabies. You do not need to report the bite. We do suggest that you contact your doctor.
