🐴🦇 Rabies may be rare in horses, but it is always fatal once symptoms appear.

The virus is typically spread through the bite of an infected animal and can affect any mammal. In horses, early signs may look like colic or another illness before rapidly progressing to severe agitation, unusual aggression, difficulty swallowing, excessive drooling, weakness, paralysis, or death. 🧠⚠️

Because rabies also poses a serious risk to people, never place your hands near the mouth of a horse showing unexplained neurological or behavioral changes. Keep your distance and contact a veterinarian immediately. 🩺🚨

Annual rabies vaccination is a simple but powerful way to protect your horse, your family, and your entire community. 💉💙
