Rabies Alert: Fox Confirmed in New Mexico

A fox in New Mexico tested positive for rabies—marking the eighth animal case this year—and serves as a stark warning: rabies is still active and deadly. Health officials urge pet owners to vaccinate their dogs and cats, as it’s the only sure way to prevent infection and stop the spread. Unvaccinated pets exposed to rabies face euthanasia or a grueling four-month quarantine. Rabies commonly affects wildlife like bats, foxes, and skunks, but any mammal is at risk. With 13 confirmed cases last year and 12 the year before, this is a persistent public health threat. If you spot wildlife behaving oddly, stay away and report it.
