Rabies

With the arrival of spring, this is the perfect time to make sure your pets are protected

What a scary situation. Have you ever seen a rabid animal around Western New York? Do you know how to tell if an animal is rabid or not? One woman encountered a rabid animal and it ran up and bit her. It was all caught on tape.

Erie County is offering three free rabies clinics to pet owners to help them protect their fur babies.

As the temperatures increase this summer in Western New York, so will the risk of rabies exposure.

The Erie County Department of Health has announced that there will be two upcoming Rabies vaccination clinics for dogs, indoor and outdoor cats, and ferrets.

A rabid bat was found in the City of Lockport

The first case of rabies in 2020 has been found in Western New York.

The fourth positive rabies case has been reported in Niagara County.

The Erie County Health Department with support from Niagara Frontier Veterinary Society are happy to announce a free rabies clinic today.

If you see things falling from the sky you're not crazy. Erie and Niagara County will be participating in the Wildlife Oral Rabies Vaccination Program.

It's something the SPCA of Erie County has to do on a regular basis because of well-meaning people who do more harm because of the actions they take.  The SPCA again is warning people not to touch injured or abandoned wild animals because they could have rabies.

A rabies positive bat was found in a house in East Aurora last week. While that might not be shocking in itself, it should cause some concern for pet owners in the area. Aurora Pet Hospital posted about the finding and encouraged residents in the area who own pets to make sure they are up to date on their rabies vaccinations...
