This may not be near here, but it could be at any time. So it's a good time to tell everyone that it's a law in Mississippi for pets to have a yearly rabies shot! Please go get them done.

Public Health Notice – Confirmed Rabies Case

The Parker County Sheriff’s Office would like to make the public aware of a confirmed Rabies case involving three dogs that were at one time located in Parker County. The Parker County Sheriff’s Office was notified on June 29th that on June 21st, three dogs were picked up by a good Samaritan near the 1100 block of Baker Road and brought to the Pet Hospital of Granbury for a routine vet check. It was during a quarantine period that one of the dogs began to exhibit signs and symptoms of Rabies. The dogs were thoroughly examined by a doctor of veterinarian medicine, tested for rabies, and the test results were positive. Currently all the dogs in question have been humanely euthanized.
We are sharing photos of the dogs to identify anyone who may have had contact with them while they were in Parker County. If you recognize these dogs and have had direct contact with them, particularly if you were bitten, scratched, or had contact with their saliva, please contact your healthcare provider and your local health department. Rabies is a serious viral disease that affects mammals, including pets, livestock, wildlife, and humans. While Rabies is almost always fatal once symptoms appear, prompt medical treatment after an exposure is highly effective at preventing illness.
To help protect yourself, your family, and your pets:
• Ensure all pets are current on their Rabies vaccinations.
• Avoid handling unfamiliar animals, especially wildlife or stray animals.
• Report animals exhibiting unusual behavior, aggression, disorientation, or illness.
• Seek immediate medical attention following any potential Rabies exposure.
Below is a photograph of the three dogs.

I know someone needs a sweet kitty! 🐈‍⬛

Wildlife information

If you find a bat on the ground from March thru July in Mississippi, don’t follow Google’s advice. Take a photo and send us a text at 2287314970 and ask “does this bat look ok?”

We don’t expect average people to know a lot about wildlife, especially bats, and the advice out there on the internet can by very conflicting.

“Bats can take off from the ground” but one species in Mississippi absolutely cannot and babies/juveniles can’t fly at all. Eastern Red bats can take off from the ground, but not moms carrying 2-4 babies, and these are the situations that we will help you figure out. Watching and waiting can be dangerous in the current Mississippi weather and definitely if the bat is in an exposed area where they are an easy meal for domestic and wild predators.

So, the answer is simple, if you see a bat somewhere strange, snap the best photo you can, and then send us a text at 228-731-4970 and ask us if we think that bat is ok. Zoe Ann the Eastern Red Bat is our photo tax for today.
