the +county since 1957 an,
n "we've never
really gotten rid of it sine then."
He said the disease sometimes almost
disappears, and then breaks out again.
,Dr. Thompson said skunks and foxes are
the main -spreaders ofthe disease.
The veterinarian said one warning sign for
farmers might be if they see a fox close. rn_
' days after this period had elapsed, the
farmer lost four dairy cattle and a fifth cow4
died a, week. later.
Dr W.J. Thompson saidtwo other farmer's
inthe north of the county have lost a total of
three cattle, 'whd also died front rabies.

"we have to resign ourselves. . ..to the
constant existenced of a low.grade level of

Residents in the north` of Huron County
have requested a series of free vaccination

Dr. Thompson- said vaccinations for pets
