Two more foxes have tested positive for rabies in Bexar County, bringing the total to at least five reported cases involving these animals this year. Health officials are urging residents to remain vigilant and take precautions to protect both themselves and their pets.

Rabies is a viral disease that is often fatal if left untreated, and it is primarily transmitted through the bite of an infected animal. The recent cases highlight the ongoing risk of rabies in wildlife populations, particularly among foxes, which are known carriers of the virus.

Authorities recommend that residents avoid contact with wild animals and ensure that pets are vaccinated against rabies. If anyone encounters a sick or unusual animal, they are advised to report it to local animal control or health officials immediately. Community awareness and proactive measures are essential in preventing the spread of rabies and ensuring public safety.
