There is currently a rabies alert in Miami-Dade county after a case was confirmed positive by authorities in a local horse. Rabies is a fatal zoonotic (can be transmitted from animals to humans) disease caused by infection with the rabies virus, which is transmitted via saliva by a bite from an infected animal. Rabies is 100% fatal and there is currently no treatment for infected individuals. Proper vaccination is ESSENTIAL, as it is the only way to prevent infection with the rabies virus.

PRECAUTIONS FROM THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH:
✅ Vaccinate all dogs, cats, and ferrets. All dogs and cats between the ages of 12 to 16 weeks and older should receive a rabies vaccination.

✅ Seek immediate veterinary care if a pet is bitten or scratched by wildlife.
✅ Do not feed or interact with wildlife. Keep trash securely covered to avoid attracting animals.
