There have been 29 cases of rabies so far this year in Oklahoma! Please make sure your animals are current on their rabies vaccine.
Here in Oklahoma, we received an email from our state veterinarian letting us know that there have been many positive rabies cases in the state, including many involving skunks. He also let us know that there have been 4 cattle, 2 dogs, 2 horses, 1 cat and 1 goat test positive, plus a litter of piglets attacked by a suspected rabid skunk.
Even if you're not in Oklahoma, it's time to remind your clients to get their animals, including livestock, vaccinated against rabies. We are starting to see West Nile cases too, so it's time to get all vaccines caught up!
