(Photo by Gibb) Pets get rabies shots Attendance was far lower than expected at a rabies clinic held at the Seaforth Arena on Wednesday, Dec. 10. Dr. Bruce Raithby, of the Health of Animals office in Seaforth, said he expected between 400 to 500 animals at the daylong clinic. However. only 205 dogs and 152 cats were brought in for. their annual shots. Dr. Raithby said the local clinic wasn't as busy as clinics had been in other centres around the county, perhaps due to the day's unsettled weather. Both Dr. Raithby and Dr. Brian Nuhn of the Seaforth Vet Clinic agreed there has been an increase in the reported cases of rabies this .year: The vets said they had seen an increase in the Seaforth area, mainly in wild animals like foxes and skunks. Dr. Raithby added there'd also been an increase in the incidence of the disease in cattle in the county. The provincial government pays a subsidy of up to 5500 per cattlebcast for cattle who die with rabies. Ontario is the only province which has this subsidy, according to Dr. Raithby. • The vet said there was also a case of rabies in a domestic pet- a cat - in Wingham a few weeks ago. He said most pet owners, however. are- con- scientious about keeping dogs and cats vaccinated. USE EXPOSITOR WANT - ADS Phone 527.0240 CHANGE IN NAME Independent Shipper to United .
