Rabies is alive and well in Ohio. We killed a raccoon last year with rabies.
Having a horse that died of rabies after being bitten by a neighbors cat, I vaccinate everything warmblooded on the place.

Hi Sarah,
If rabies isn't around then imaybe its a sign that the laws and requirements have worked. If people stopped getting their dogs and cats rabies shots done then maybe more outbreaks would occur. Alison

Has anyone here heard of this new neutering method?

http://www.snapus.org/site/PageServer?pagename=Neutersol

Apparantly Austin is in contest with Houston, LA and Altanta to get some dogs neutered by this method for free.

I'd be interested to hear what people's take on this is. It doesn't sound as though the dog is actually neutered but rather sterilized permanantly. Which
means the hormones will still be churning.

Its a large problem in the Carolinas. I can't find statewide, yearly figures that are very recent but. I have found where one county alone had
27 confirmed rabies cases in animals between January & June of 2003. . Thethree months of Jan-Mar 2003, SC already had 52 documented cases of rabies in animals. Imagine how many of them actually have it if 52 had been found in only 3 months. In that same period there were 36 infected racoons, 1 dog, 1 cat, 2 cows, 10 skunk and 2 fox. I think our biggest threat is racoons first and bats second. Racoons are really good at sending many dogs to the vet each year.

Here is some more links. It sounds like a promising alternative or product.

Although it appears it can only be used in puppies from 3-10 months old. I wonder why it can't be
used for older dogs?

[nq:1]At any rate, he has just proclaimed that the requirements and laws on rabies shots etc. are "too conservative", because "When's the last time you heard of an animal with rabies?"[/nq]
Well, by "too conservative" he might mean that we over-vaccinate pets? That's an issue with cats, although I haven't heard of it with dogs cats can get a sarcoma at the rabies vaccination site. And basically we don't know how often animals need to be vaccinated unless the vet does titers to check for immunity levels. I personally would rather see that done than automatically vaccinating on a one to three year schedule. I'm wondering if this issue is what the guy is referring to?

Forgot to mention - according to the local health
department, if your dog or cat is not current on its rabies vaccinations and gets into a scrap with a rabid animal, it is the county law that your animal must be destroyed.

Same with most parts of NC, it actually may be statewide legislation, and some parts of SC.
A friend who is a rescuer had a bad time earlier this year. She lives next door to her mother and heard alot of noise outside one evening.

She went out to find that her mother's dog (who Jenn was in charge of during her mother's absence) had gone outside via the doggy door and encountered a racoon. Jenn killed the racoon and called AC.
AC confiscated the mother's dog and quarantined Jenn's entire house. Now the dog didn't live with Jenn and neither did it come into contact with Jenn's 2 Boxers or her 2 foster Boxers but verdict was passed that the house & all its animals were under 6 month quarantine. See, Jenn was the one who had the dog vaccinated so the rabies registrationw as in her name, not her mother's, therefore she was considered the legal owner.

They were going to destroy her mother's dog because it hadn't had a booster two weeks prior. The dog had always been kept up to date on shots but the vet never told her that a booster every 6 months was required (NC moved to the 3yr vaccine). She managed, with the help of several county officials who knew her & her vet via her rescue work, to get the dog off death row but only after AC held the dog for 2 weeks in a cat cage and allowed it to eliminate all over itself.
That was a mess and all over a racoon who didn't even bite the dog. I never did find out if the racoon tested positive for rabies but the dog was going to be pts regardless, before the racoon was even tested.
