Tick Season Reminder: Protect Your Pets

As the warmer months approach, tick activity increases significantly. Ticks can transmit serious diseases such as Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, ehrlichiosis, and anaplasmosis—all of which pose health risks to your pets.

It is crucial to regularly check your pets for ticks, especially after outdoor activities, and to use veterinarian-recommended tick preventatives. Early detection and prevention are key to keeping your pets healthy and safe throughout the season.

Rabies Alert
Mower County Farm Cat Tests Positive for Rabies
An unvaccinated outdoor cat on a Mower County farm tested positive for rabies after having contact with two people and several domestic animals.

On June 28, 2025, the cat was seen acting abnormally. Ordinarily approachable, the animal attacked a dog on the property. A bite to the dog was unknown, but scratches were observed, and the cat was seen latching its claws onto the neck of the dog. On June 29, the family’s two children were attacked and bitten by the cat. The owner shot the cat. The carcass was taken to a local veterinary clinic to be prepared for rabies testing. The cat was confirmed positive for rabies at the University of Minnesota Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory (VDL) in St. Paul on July 2.

The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) interviewed the owners and determined that the two children were the only human exposures to the cat. MDH recommended the children receive post-exposure treatment (PEP). Treatment was initiated on June 29.

The Minnesota Board of Animal Health confirmed the dog was the only known domestic animal exposure to the rabid cat. The dog was overdue for a rabies vaccination. A booster was given to the dog on June 30. The Board advised confining the dog the dog on the property for 45 days and observing it. The remaining unvaccinated outdoor cats were not seen to have physical contact with the rabid cat while it was exhibiting signs of the virus, however it is likely they were exposed. The owner opted to euthanize the cats out of caution.

The Minnesota Board of Animal Health publishes rabies alerts when a domestic animal tests positive for rabies in Minnesota. If you have questions about a suspected or confirmed rabies exposure to domestic animals, call 651-201-6808.

“A kitten is the most irresistible comedian in the world. Its wide-open eyes gleam with wonder and mirth. It darts madly at nothing at all, and then, as though suddenly checked in the pursuit, prances sideways on its hind legs with ridiculous agility and zeal.”
