Recently they quarantined 40 dogs from Yang Talad district at a temporary shelter in Nakhon Phanom after they showed symptoms of the disease.
Authorities have made it policy that any dog showing symptoms would be sent to the shelter to die in its own time or by lethal injection if it became hostile.
Wanchai Thawilprai, head of the Livestock Development Office in the province, said 33 rabid dogs were reported last year and there had been 21 rabid dogs in eight districts so far this year.
The eight districts declared temporary epidemic zones are Kuchinarai, Kamalasai, Don Charn, Muang, Yang Talad, Na Khoo, Rong Kham and Na Mon.
The 40 Yang Talad dogs quarantined follow earlier roundups of 22 dogs in Kamalasai and 17 in Muang Kalasin, Wanchai said.
