News Brief: Rabid raccoon attack

Jun 12, 2008 News Jump to Comments

Orange County Animal Services received their 10th report this year of a rabies case on Tuesday. A rabid raccoon attacked a pet dog in the area of Efland Cedar Grove and McDade Store roads in Cedar Grove and was killed by local residents.

The dog in this case was not vaccinated against rabies and so, by state law, must either be destroyed or quarantined for six months at the owner’s expense. If you suspect that your pet is exposed to rabies, contact Animal Control.
