This year the Silver City area has been plagued with rabid foxes and attacks in addtion to foxes attacking humans in Catron County. Last week there was a rabid fox confirmed in Sierra County. There are also cases of rabid wildlife on the East Side and Texas has identified a problem. There has been some dropping of oral rabies vaccine in Texas and there is expected to be more.
