ALERT! POSITIVE TEST RESULT FOR RABIES in a skunk!
While rare in our area, rabies is a fatal virus with devastating consequences. Protecting your pets with vaccination and using precautions with wild animals are both ways to help reduce your risk.
The virus spreads when the saliva of an infected animal gets into the body. This usually happens through a bite, but it can also pass through scratches or if saliva gets into an open wound or the eyes, nose, and mouth.
