This is the first rabid animal identified in the county this year. The animal was found at Camp School Road, Shelby, NC. Any person bitten or exposed to po- tentially infectious saliva from this fox should contact their healthcare pro- vider or the local health department for a rabies risk assessment. You may contact the Cleveland County Health Department at 980-484-5169. Cleve- land County Animal Services will be conducting a rabies vaccination can- vass in the area. Rabies vaccinations and boosters are available for cats and dogs at the Animal Services center located at 1601 Airport Rd Shelby, NC 28150 Monday – Friday 10 am – 4 pm. Rabies initial vaccines and boosters are $10 per pet. Rabies is a fatal yet preventable disease if post exposure prophylaxis (PEP) is administered. Rabies is trans- mitted by the bite of an infected animal or via contamination of open wounds or mucus membranes with potentially in- fectious material such as saliva. Prevention of rabies is based on protection of susceptible animals and people and appropriate management of persons and animals exposed to ra- bies: • Vaccinate pets. In accordance with NC State Law, all dogs, cats, and fer- rets must be kept currently vaccinated against rabies and must wear a rabies tag. Cats are the most commonly iden- tified domestic animal with rabies. • Control measures for pets exposed to rabies: If pets are exposed to rabies they should • receive a booster dose of rabies vaccine if they are currently vaccinated at the time of exposure. If pets are not currently vaccinated against rabies when exposed, the animals will be eu- thanized or quarantined for six months in accordance with state law. • Control measures for persons ex- posed to rabies: Seek medical guid- ance from your healthcare provider or the local health department if you be- lieve you have been exposed to rabies. • Limit stray and feral animals. In the cities of Shelby, Kings Mountain, Boil- ing Springs, and Grover all dogs must be kept on a leash. Persons should not approach stray or feral dogs or cats. Feral cat colonies should be intensively monitored, and their location reported to Cleveland County Animal Services. • Leave wildlife alone. Raccoons and other wildlife serve as the reservoir for rabies in North Carolina. Rabies occurs throughout North Carolina. Anyone that sees an animal demonstrating unusual behavior should call the Cleveland County Animal Ser- vices Department at (704) 481-9884 or visit their website at www.cleveland- countypets.org/contact-us and com- plete the Contact Us form.
