Feral Cat in Redwood County Tests Positive for RABIES.
💉Please be cautious bringing feral animals into your home. 8 people were exposed to this rabid animal.
💉While we usually think of rabid animals as vicious, they don’t always show us those signs right away. The best thing to do if you want to take in a stray is to keep it contained in a kennel or garage for at least 10 days to monitor for any potential signs. And then have it vaccinated for rabies if still healthy.
💉Vaccinating for rabies isn’t just for your pets health but also for YOUR health! The only treatment for rabies is PREVENTION!
