Please seek treatment if you are bitten, licked or…[Read more]

With climate change, we are seeing more cases of certain diseases that we didn’t see before, the insects are able to survive and transmit.
Lyme disease is a great example of this. Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever is also tick-borne but in contrast to Lyme that sometimes has a chronic presentation, RMSF is an acute illness with obvious symptoms, high…[Read more]

Hi everyone, This is a great group to start. As we head into the winter months the reports of rabies usually decreases since animals are less active. Allegany County has had a very great year with no reported positive rabies encounters! However, please remember that indoor animals do have the chance to be exposed to rabies through bats getting to…[Read more]

So sad.
