Upper Peninsula Veterinarian Warns Of Rabies In The Area
7 months ago

An Upper Peninsula veterinarian is warning the public of possible rabies exposure after a pet skunk owned in Escanaba died and tested positive for the disease.
The Department of Natural Resources says more animals from the same dealer could be carrying the disease.
The skunk came from Lapeer County-area dealer Rose’s Skunks. The DNR says employees may have been mixing wild and bred skunks in captivity, which could have been the cause of the infection.
A clinic previously treated the animal which may have visited many places in the U.P. with its owners, and is concerned about the possibility of people who briefly interacted with it being infected.
