Bat in Plano tests positive for rabies, Animal Services warns

To my DFW people, don't get too near bats rn. Make sure your pets are up to date on rabies vaccinations. Make sure you know the symptoms of rabies and have a plan in place if a pet starts exhibiting those symptoms. Stay safe out there.

Skunk Found North of Boulder Confirmed Positive for Rabies

A skunk found on Lefthand Canyon Drive located north of Boulder was confirmed positive for rabies on Thursday, June 6. A resident reported the skunk after contacting her veterinarian because her dog had contact with the skunk. This is the first case of rabies documented in a terrestrial (ground dwelling) species since 1963. This is important because the risk of rabies transmission to pets or humans is much higher from terrestrial species than from bats. It’sa warning to all Boulder County residents that skunk rabies is present and is a danger in our community, especially to pets and livestock. View the full Longmont Times Call article here:
