rabies & what you need to know...

Over 5,000 cases of Rabies were reported to the CDC in 2015, and although that number is fairly high, the prevalence continues to decrease. This is majorly due to Rabies vaccination laws for domesticated animals.

The most common carriers of Rabies are raccoons, bats, skunks, and foxes; all mammals are susceptible to rabies virus which is spread through saliva. Once symptoms have developed, the disease is always fatal. Some symptoms of rabies are anxiety, "raging" or irrational behavior, and muscle paralysis. The local government in each state manage the administration of rabies vaccines and they're required by law. 

During the month of November Village Veterinary Service will be offering rabies vaccines at $10.00 with a physical exam for $5.00 (a $12 savings).
