During the Oregon Trail era, rabies was a serious concern, especially among dogs that traveled with settlers. If a dog showed symptoms of rabies, it was typically euthanized to prevent the disease from spreading to humans or other animals. Settlers often took precautions by keeping their dogs on leashes and monitoring them closely for signs of illness. In some cases, communities would establish local rules regarding stray or suspicious dogs to minimize the risk of rabies outbreaks.
