🐴⚠️ Protecting Lives by Eliminating a Public Health Threat
Elnet Foundation’s Mobile Veterinary Clinic responded to a serious public health risk involving a horse reported to have bitten three people. The horse was euthanized to prevent further danger to the community.

This case is an important reminder that horses can also get rabies and transmit it to humans. Rabies is a deadly disease, but it can be prevented through timely medical treatment after exposure and through animal vaccination.

Please stay alert. If you see an animal showing unusual aggression, abnormal behavior, excessive salivation, or other concerning signs, keep your distance and report it immediately. Vaccination remains one of the most important ways to reduce the risk of rabies transmission in animals and people.

A rabid animal usually loses coordination of its limbs as the disease progresses in the animal. This video showcase this exact symptom. Be alert and always keep distance to such animals.
