Wow - its so rare for a dog to get rabies in this country that I don't even know if I'd recognize the symptoms!

In 2009 there were 14 confirmed dog rabies cases in Texas. The TX Dept of Health has annual summaries. You can search by your county.

wowwwwww, wonder how old that puppy was....rabies vaccines aren't generally given until at least 14-16 weeks old.

Yikes! Thank goodness they thought to test the puppy before it was too late!

Round these parts, it's probably the first thing anyone thinks of actually.
