Hi all, just heard about this myself yesterday and from what I have heard it
was a bat strain. Still scary nonetheless. It's something we always have to
consider in any neurological animal, but rabies is usually low down on the
list of ruleouts. Guess it will have to move up now. Time to check and see
if my personal rabies innoculations are protective.

Check out that Herald article from today.  Rabies remains extremely rare in
Nova Scotia, and speculation has it that this was the strain from bats, to
the fox, although this remains to be proven, I guess.  I wonder if Andrew
Hebda or Helene can find out more about this case?

Cheers from Jim

A friend of mine was listening to French CBC and said that
down in Mulgrave there was a confirmed report of a rabid
fox. Seems , as told to me, the fox attacked a family dog.
The family came out and ultimately the fox ended up dead
and sent away for checking. Has anyone else heard this
story.
If it is true, this can be huge concern for us who love the
northern end of the province.
