Dr. Raym >nd C. 1- lam said that these pets al >ng with countless f xes and racc""ns have never peen immunized and they need sh ts as much as dogs do. “Perhaps skunks need im munizations the m ist Krause they can be rabid w ithout havinr any of the sympt ms,’ Dr. Elam c mmented. ' Pers nail'. I recommend that the\ U- inoculated -very six m nths.* Dr. Elam said th*.r*- max D: more than 2, '0 skunk wt. have been ad pte 1 t y s uth Carolinians. '$ m ,. i n ,. n farms, but many are in cities and suburbs. “South Car limans ar- ac customed t" having their a-gs vaccinated every year, tut few people think about their >ther pets. At three doj^arsper sh t for eacti pet. Rabies immuniza tions are the least expensive insurance pr 'gram f any kind.’ Dr. Elam said. The S. C. Veterinary Medical Association and State B urd of Health are prom'tingpassage of som^ amendments t the State’s Rabies Control Act. Changes to the law would require pe pie to have all ttieir pets--rather than dogs only- immunized once a year. According to Dr. Arthur F. DISalvo of the Board >f Health, South Carolina has not had any Laboratory confirmed cases among domestic animals since 1963. “And there hasn't been any evidence f infection in the wildlife of the State in recent years,’ said Dr. DiSalvowliois Chief f the Bureau f La- b->rat tv Services and Re search. But compare this with G-'Tgiu whirl, rep rted 118 r nfirni*' i ' uses in 1969: 103 Harr uis, ' Bats, 3 F oXCS, and 5 Skunks.

"We can make sure all >ur [iets get a shot, and we can examine ur wildlife on a systematic basis.’ F r m 1999 t 1959, at least 79 South C ar linians died from ttie "Mad D >g’ disease. Al though there lias not been a human case in the state since 1959, m Te than 800 persons were gnen anti-rabies vaccine last year. These figures prove that ra bies is still a seriousproblem. Dr. DiSalvo and Dr. Elam are calling on all pet owners to join the fight against rabies and they urge people to call their doctor immediately if they are bitten by an animal. ♦ * * Mountville News BY MRS.
