Sfemartsfom 4-H M to sponsor clinic
STEWARTSTOWN - Four more
confirmed cases of rabies were
found in York County last week
and a local 4-H Club plans to do its
part to help combat the threat.
For the third year the Stewart
stown 4-H Community Club will
hold an annual Rabies Clinic,
where pet owners can bring their
animals for protective vac
cinations against the deadly
disease.
The clinic is scheduled for
Friday, April 25, from 5 to 8 p.m. at
the Eureka Fire Hall, north of
Stewartstown on Route 24. Vac
cinations are $4 per animal, and all
animals brought to the clinic must
be restrained in some way.
“Seven dogs in the Stewartstown
area have been put down in the last
three months due to the rabies
problem,” says Norma Warner.
organizational leader of the
Stewartstown Club.
Dr. Elizabeth Preston will
represent the York-Adams
Veterinary Association at the
clinic, and perform the vac
cinations. Club representatives are
in charge of handling the forms,
with proceeds of the clinic to
benefit the Stewartstown 4-H Club.
According to Dr. Preston,
raccoons continue to be the most
prominent carriers of the rabies
epidemic that has swept up the
East Coast over the past few years.
“Animals exposed to rabies
must be destroyed, or quarantined
for six months,” says the
Stewartstown veterinarian.
“That’s why we recommend that
rabies shots be given.”
