A skunk found in Hillsborough tested positive for rabies on Tuesday at the State Laboratory of Public Health.

The skunk was submitted after a resident in the vicinity of Larkspur Lane and Miller Road saw one of her two dogs with the skunk in its mouth.

Animals exposed to rabies who are not vaccinated must be either destroyed or quarantined for six months.

So far this year, Orange County Animal Services has received 11 positive rabies tests. If any possible exposure to a bat, raccoon or skunk is suspected, contact Animal Control at 245-2075 or call 911.
