Sheriff Fields Announces Two Confirmed Cases of Rabies in Moore County

Moore County Sheriff Ronnie Fields is notifying residents of two confirmed cases of rabies involving a raccoon in the Vass area and a bat in the Whispering Pines area of Moore County.

On September 29, 2026, testing confirmed that both animals were positive for rabies. The cases are separate and involve two different areas of the county.

Sheriff Fields urges residents, particularly those in the Vass and Whispering Pines areas, to remain vigilant and take appropriate precautions to protect themselves and their pets. Residents should avoid approaching or handling wildlife that appears sick, injured, unusually aggressive, disoriented, or otherwise exhibits abnormal behavior.

Anyone who observes an animal exhibiting suspicious behavior is encouraged to contact Moore County Sheriff’s Office Animal Services at (910) 947-2858.

Residents are also reminded to ensure their pets’ rabies vaccinations are current and to avoid allowing pets to come into contact with wildlife.

See what changes when the vet comes to you instead.

These bacteria can enter the bloodstream and affect vital organs like the heart and kidneys over time.

A high protein percentage on a pet food label does not guarantee your dog or cat is actually getting the nutrients they need. Bioavailability is what determines if their body can absorb and use those ingredients effectively.

Choosing high quality animal proteins over plant fillers ensures your companion maintains a shiny coat and strong muscles. Look past the simple numbers on the bag to find ingredients that truly nourish their unique system. Learn more at blog. 🐾 🥣

Why "High Protein" isn't always the answer.

Most of us look for the highest protein number on the bag, but did you know there is no legal limit on how much protein a food can have? 🥩

While protein is vital, the "Protein Paradox" means that for seniors or pets with kidney issues, too much can actually be hard on their bodies. Some of the most effective prescription diets have to skip the "Complete and Balanced" label just to keep protein levels safe for a pet’s kidneys.

Labels give you the basics, but they don't know your pet’s health history. Book a house call vet today for personalized nutritional guidance. Our vets help you look past the labels to find exactly what your pet needs to thrive. 🩺 🐾
