Another Case of Rabies!!

I very much dislike it when something happens that is so easily preventable.

This article is VERY important.  Why??

Because:

1.) this dog obviously wasn't vaccinated against rabies and
2.) it likely caught it from feral cats!!


I encourage you to read this article and keep your cats and dogs up to date with their rabies vaccines.


Rabies in Family Dog, Caught from Feral Cat

And, just to clarify - the way we "test" for rabies is to euthanize the pet and remove its head to be sent in to the lab for testing.   It's gory and it's not fun.

It's SO much easier to keep your pet vaccinated against this terrible disease!

Call us today at Animal Care Hospital so we can schedule your pet for a physical exam and update all of the appropriate vaccinations.
