SUMMARY: Beaufort County Animal Services warned residents of recent threats of rabies and distemper outbreaks. Both diseases are deadly; distemper spreads rapidly among animals, while rabies is zoonotic and nearly always fatal once symptoms appear. Rabies is common in local wildlife like bats, raccoons, and foxes, and occasionally in stray cats and dogs. Vaccination is crucial to protect pets, as unvaccinated animals exposed to rabies face a six-month quarantine, while vaccinated pets have a ten-day quarantine. If a pet is bitten or a rabid/distempered animal is spotted, report it to the health department and Department of Natural Resources immediately.
