So far this year, a total of five skunks have come out positive. Residents are advised not to approach any wild animals, including those that appear to be in danger. The Ministry of Natural Resources and the SPCA are conducting increased surveillance activities for rabid animals. Public Health advises residents to ensure that dogs and cats have current rabies vaccines. It is also recommended to prevent roaming dogs and cats without a leash or without supervision. You are asked to report wild animals that behave abnormally (especially raccoons) to your local animal control services.
