Raccoon found dead on Six Nations tests positive for rabies
Six Nations Elected Council says a raccoon found at Six Nations has tested positive for rabies.
The ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry confirmed the test results on February 23. The deceased raccoon was collected as roadkill by Six Nations Animal Control Services in the area of Chiefswood Road and Third Line.
A statement from Elected Council says officials do not know if the infected racoon was in contact with other animals or people.
As a preventative measure council is scheduling a rabies clinic in March. Details for that clinic will be released soon.
Officials are warning the public to have their pets vaccinated as soon as possible before the March clinic if they are concerned about exposure. Other precautions should be taken by residents including avoiding contact with a dead or unknown animal and not to leave pet food outside at night.
