Here's the latest update on positive Rabies cases in our area....these are in areas I frequent with my own dogs....please remember to keep your Rabies vaccinations for your pets current:

Thus far in 2015 Travis County has reported two laboratory-confirmed terrestrial mammal rabies cases from the southwestern part of the county. The first case occurred in February in a skunk that died of the South Central Skunk strain. The skunk was located south of the intersection of Mopac Expressway and Highway 290.

A second case occurred in early May in a RACCOON in the Hamilton Pool Road area. Tests are ongoing to determine the rabies strain that infected the RACCOON.

Drugs and Law Breaking Veterinary Doctors | petMD Veterinarians need your help; many of them are currently on the lam from the DEA. They’re breaking the law but have decided that it is in their patients’ best interests to continue to do so.
