When a family from Titus County, TX brought their aggressive, disoriented dog to the animal clinic, veterinarians immediately diagnosed rabies and euthanized the pet. According to the
Daily Tribune,
Both Drs. Katy Dunn and Ronnie Robertson, who operates Robertson-Dunn Veterinary Services on Industrial Street, said they can’t recall the last time they saw a dog with active rabies. The dog was euthanized Monday, along with the other three family dogs who had been exposed, and the members of the family now must have post-exposure rabies vaccinations, said Dr. Robertson.
Once active, rabies is always fatal, said Dunn, “you die a slow, painful death."
