Euthanized Spokane monkey did not have rabies
SPOKANE — Tests on a euthanized monkey that had bitten three people after escaping from his owner's home show the small macaque did not have rabies.
The Spokane Regional Health District said today that the tests were performed on the head of Chico at the Washington State Public Health Laboratories in Shoreline.
The health district says that means the three people bitten by the monkey will not have to undergo a preventive series of rabies vaccinations.
