The following information is desirable when 
animal heads are received for examination: the 
species and breed of the animal; whether it was 
in contact with other animals; whether the 
animal died or was killed, and, if the latter, the 
means used in destroying it; whether the animal 
was confined and observed for an appropriate 
time before death, and, if so, for how long; 
symptoms of rabies, if any; and history of vacci- 
nation against rabies.
