Skunks can cause more than smelly problems for pet owners

STILLWATER – The nose knows. Even the slightest hint of a skunk’s presence can send pet owners scrambling to find a way to get rid of the scent.
But it isn’t just the odor that is cause for concern. Skunks are the primary reservoirs of rabies in Oklahoma, followed by bats, said Dr. Barry Whitworth, Oklahoma State University Extension veterinarian.
When it comes to rabies, Whitworth said, “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”
“Economically, it’s much cheaper to prevent disease than to treat it, and disease prevention is better for the animal. Some diseases, including rabies and canine distemper, usually are fatal,” he said.
