Cleveland County raccoon tests positive for rabies A raccoon that fought with a dog at 408 Pineview Drive on Aug. 5 has tested positive for rabies. Dorothea Wyant, Cleveland County Health Director, said this is the third rabid animal iden- tified in the county this year. The dog was a Australian shepherd mix and was four months old. Any person bitten or ex- posed to potentially infec- tious saliva from this dog or raccoon should contact their healthcare provider or the local health department at 704-669-3134 of 704-484- 5154 for a rabies risk assess- ment. Rabies is a fatal yet pre- ventable disease if post ex- posure prophylaxis is administered. Rabies is transmitted by the bite of an infected animal or via con- tamination of open wounds or mucus membranes with potentially infectious mate- rial such as saliva. Wyant listed these pre- cautions: -Vaccinate pets. In accor- dance with state law all dogs, cats and ferrets must be kept currently vaccinated against rabies and must wear a rabies tag. Cats are the most commonly identified 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 vac- cine if they are currently vaccinated at the time of ex- posure. If pets are not cur- rently vaccinated at the time of exposure, the animals will be euthanized or quaran- tined for six months in ac- cordance with state law. -Control measures for persons exposed to rabies. Seek medical guidance from your health care provider of the local health department if you believe you have been exposed to rabies. ? -Limit stray and feral an- imals. In the cities of Shelby, Kings Mountain, Boiling Springs and Grover all dogs must be kept on a leash. Per- sons should not approach stray or feral dogs or cats. Feral cat colonies should be intensively monitored and their location reported to Cleveland County Animal Control. -Leave wildlife: alone. Raccoons and other wildlife serve as the reservoir for ra- bies in North Carolina. Anyone who sees an ani- mal demonstrating unusual behavior needs to call the Cleveland ‘County Animal Control Department at 704- 481-9884.
