Rabies in Northern Part of County

Just a quick notice for those of you in Lawsonville, Sandy Ridge areas.
A pony was diagnosed with Rabies in Patrick co. right at the NC/Stokes line.
Please remember that horses and cattle are the two species of animals that can expose more humans to rabies than any other species.
We normally assume that they have choke, or something in their mouths, or....
Just remember: if any of your livestock is acting unusual, has any wounds on it, take the precaution of ensuring that it gets its RABIES vaccination.
The cost is a lot less than having to deal with Post exposure rabies vaccinations and quarrantining your remaining livestock.
