Index of Subjects 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.

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?

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. Heather D.
