The Republican and The Times-News both report this week on rabies cases in Garrett County. The following in an excerpt from The Republican:
So far this year, Garrett County has experienced rabies in three raccoons and one skunk.
"Because no part of our county is untouched by rabies, it is very important to be vigilant of all wildlife," said the spokesperson. "It is especially important to keep your pets' anti-rabies vaccinations current and up-to-date. If your dog or cat comes in contact with a wild animal, be careful not to directly handle the pet without protective gloves within two hours of the exposure."
Residents are asked to report any incidents to the Environmental Health Services at 301-334-7760, or 301-334-1929 after business hours or weekends.
