Subject: Another confirmed case of rabies in a horse in SW Florida
This message is from: Robin Churchill <rbc...@yahoo.com>
We have had a second case of confirmed rabies in a horse in our area in
the
last 2 months.� There was no documented history of vaccination in the
horse
who became ill last Friday and died on Sunday. Approximately 8-10 people
were
exposed and are receiving post-exposure prophylaxis which apparently
costs
more than $2000 for people who are uninsured or whose insurance will not
pay
for it. The health department in our county no longer provides it due to
budget cuts. If you purchase or somehow acquire a new horse, ask for
documentation of the horse's vaccinations. It is unwise to take
someone's word
that the horse's vaccines are up-to-date as the owner of this horse did.
It is
also prudent to keep new horses separated and minimize exposure to
people and
other horses until you are sure that they are healthy and they have been
vaccinated.� Keep your horses and yourself safe and vaccinate them for
rabies
annually.
Robin in SW Florida
