Bexar County confirms first rabid pet dog in over a decade — a Husky mix that tangled with a skunk in July and later showed severe symptoms. While exposed humans and animals got treatment, officials warn this is a serious outbreak, with 22 wild rabies cases in just two months — far above the usual total. Skunks, bats, foxes, and raccoons are all carriers, and once symptoms appear, it’s almost always fatal. Keep pets vaccinated, avoid wildlife contact, and wash any bite or scratch immediately — then call a doctor or animal control. Report pet-wildlife encounters via 311 (San Antonio) or 210-359-0000 (Bexar County).
