We’ve had several confirmed cases of rabies this year in Anderson, Greenville, and Pickens counties. An information flyer from SCDPH is included with details about the most recent rabies-positive case in Greenville County.
Rabies doesn’t just pose a threat to our dogs and cats; it can also affect livestock, wildlife, and people
The best way to protect your pets, your family, and your farm animals is to make sure your dogs and cats are current on their rabies vaccinations. Some farm animals can also be vaccinated against rabies, so talk with your veterinarian about which vaccines may be appropriate for your livestock. Even pets that spend most of their time indoors can be exposed if a bat or other wild animal gets into your home.
If you own livestock, keeping your pets vaccinated, and vaccinating eligible farm animals, can help reduce the risk of exposure around your property. Be sure to avoid contact with wildlife, and report any animals that are acting unusually aggressive, unusually tame, or showing other abnormal behavior.
If your pet or livestock is overdue for a rabies vaccine or has had contact with a wild animal, please give us a call. Rabies is almost always fatal once symptoms develop, but it is completely preventable through vaccination.
Let’s do our part to protect our pets, our livestock, our families, and our community. 🐾❤️
