ACS: 2 Dead Foxes Sent For Testing
Written by Jeremy Zafran on 23 August 2022
Kahnawà:ke Animal Control Services recently picked up two dead foxes, on Tekakwitha Island and South Creek Road. Both animals presented with mange, but they’re still treating the cause of death as unknown at this time. Both foxes were sent for testing to rule out Distemper/Rabies. These viruses are preventable if vaccinated against them. There is no vaccine for mange, but it is treatable.
ACS says this is a good time to make sure your pets’ vaccinations are up to date. They’ve scheduled a vaccine clinic for Sunday, September 11th, by appointment only. They’ll talk to you about costs when you make your appointment.
