• Rabies

  We want to make you aware of a positive rabies case in our area and how to handle this type of situations should you find yourself in it. On October 12. 2011, Animal Control Services was called to pick up a raccoon that had fought with two dogs in the owner's yard. Not only were the dogs exposed, but the owner also handled the raccoon after the altercation. Both dogs had a current rabies vaccination and were brought into our office for a rabies booster.

  Please be sure that your pet is current on their rabies vaccine as this is the primary defense against this fatal disease. Rabies is transmitted three ways: 1.) through a bite which breaks the skin of the victim, 2.) salivary contact to an open wound, or 3.) salivary contact to the mucous membranes of the potential victim.

  If you find yourself in contact with a primary rabies vector such as a raccoon, fox, skunk or bat, it is recommended that if you must handle the animal that you wear protective gloves to prevent transmission. If your pet is exposed to a primary rabies vector, do not handle your pet without protection directly after being exposed because of the potential of residual saliva from the infected animal on your pet.

  Please remember, prevention is better than reaction after exposure. If you have any further questions, please contact our office directly at 910-313-3326.
