WICHITA FALLS, Texas (TNN) - Skunks, coyotes and bats are the top carriers of rabies in Wichita County and can transmit it to both people and pets.
“You don’t hear people talking about rabies and rabies is just as important because it is zoonotic. We can get rabies. We can’t get parvo. We can’t get distemper, panoleukemia, or some of these other viruses that attack cats and dogs,” said Leslie Harrelson, founder and CEO of P.E.T.S.
