Clayton Will Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Keep your Hunting dog's safe as well as your family. Our Animal Control Admin. told me only 10% of dogs and cats in Webster County are vaccinated. Here is some expert information I received. Rabies is possible in all fur bearing mammals. And can be contracted through touch as well a bites. A lick on an open wound can result in contracting rabies. Racoon's, skunks and Possum are the most frequent carriers. It is also deadly and cannot be cured. The only possible treatment if given within the first 24 hours is the vaccination. It isn't given preemptively because it is given in a series of three shots per day for ten days and they are given into the abdominal cavity.
