Rabies Alert in Polk County | Tampa News
Description
Rabies is hitting Polk County hard — a rabid cat last month attacked five people and a dog after exposure to a raccoon. Animal Control and SPCA Florida are sounding the alarm: if your pet shows signs like drooling, confusion, or erratic behavior, get them to a vet immediately — rabies is almost always fatal once symptoms appear. But there’s hope: this Saturday at 8 AM, the first 500 Polk County pets can get free rabies vaccines and microchips — crucial for reunification during hurricane season. Don’t wait — your pet’s life could depend on it.
