[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1394250, member: 12607"] D-lab where I work does official rabies testing for the western half of KY. We have had positive Rabies diagnoses on two cows within the last month. Most common Rabies virus variants in this part of the country are North Central Skunk and Bat. Jan/Feb is mating season here for skunks - that's when I see the most killed on the highway... and also when I get a pretty significant number of submissions - because folks' dogs are tangling with them - and a significant number of positive test results. Have your vet out to look at her. By all means, if she dies or you put her down (don't shoot her in the head! Neck or heart shot preferred...), have the brain tested at the nearest state veterinary or public health laboratory that does rabies testing. [/QUOTE]
