Today is World Rabies Day!

The graphics below show statistics from the Maryland Department of Health for 2023 and 2024 regarding confirmed cases of Rabies Virus. You can see that the overall number of cases in Maryland only rose slightly, but the number of cases in Harford County nearly doubled. The species most commonly found to be positive when tested are Raccoons across almost all counties.

Vaccinating your pets is absolutely crucial since Rabie Virus is 100% fatal if contracted. In the cases of human exposure, it's recommended to seek care immediately. If a human is exposed to and contracts Rabies and does not seek medical care, the virus is 100% fatal and excruciating to experience. If you are concerned that your pet may have come into contact with a wild animal that can carry rabies, it's important to contact your vet immediately. Do not approach any wild animal that is behaving strangely or aggressively.

As always if you have any any questions, feel free to ask in the comment section below!

This week is Telehealth Awareness Week!

Many of our clients know that we do quite a bit of telehealth, also called telemedicine. While not every concern can be addressed by a telehealth consultation, Dr. Haskin can offer recommendations for many things. If your pet has an ongoing problem that is being monitored, telehealth may be utilized occasionally to avoid frequent office visits.

Telehealth can also be beneficial to our patients that experience a lot of Fear, Anxiety, and Stress (FAS) during vet visits. Even though we come to your home, some pets still experience a high level of FAS. If there is something we can address with telehealth, we will definitely do so!
