BOULDER COUNTY, Colo. (CBS4) – A skunk tested positive for rabies after spraying a dog last week in Lafayette. Residents found the skunk dead in their backyard and contacted animal control officers who notified Boulder County Public Health.
The resident reported their dog was sprayed by the skunk before the skunk died. Health officials say the dog was already vaccinated against rabies and is currently under a 45-day home observation.
BCPH says rabid skunks have become a “significant source” of rabies across eastern Colorado and the Front Range. Raccoons and foxes can also carry the disease, which can spread to pets.

COLORADO, USA It s never been easier to get a COVID-19 test in Colorado. That s because not as many people are going to testing sites. As demand goes down, counties are scaling back by closing some of those testing sites.
Boulder County Public Health began ramping down COVID-19 testing locations. The department said the need for ongoing testing sites has diminished as vaccinations go up.
