YOU AND YOUR PET

RABIES IN EXOTIC PETS
The World Health Organi
zation suggests -and most
veterinarians agree -- that
“the taking of animals from
the wild should be discourag
ed.”
However, many animals
are being domesticated to
day, and it is important to
keep in mind that they have
definite health needs. Like
other pets, these animals
need proper food, shelter and
regular veterinary care.
Vaccination against rabies
is an important part of
medical care for exotic pets.
Rabies is a viral disease
capable of infecting any
warm-blooded animal, and
almost all warm-blooded
pets should, as a preventive
measure, be vaccinated.
Vaccination of exotic pets
should be done with caution
since they do not always
respond uniformly to vac
cines designed for use on
domesticated animals. Your
veterinarian will explain why
only inactivated forms of
rabies vaccine should be
used.
Some owners of exotic pets
argue that a quarantine
period proves their pet is
rabies-free and that indoor
living will prevent the pet
from ever being infected.
This is not true. Rabies has
an uncertain and sometimes
lengthy incubation period.
Studies have shown that the
virus may take anywhere
from 15 to 285 days before it
reaches the brain and causes
recognizable symptoms. A
bite on a pet’s back leg by a
rabid animal would intro
duce the virus at a great
distance from the brain,
causing a lengthy incubation
period.
Even certified capture of a
very young animal cannot
guarantee a rabies-free pet.
Wild animals as young as six
weeks of age have been
known to contract the disease
from an infected mother
You should note that the
term “exotic pet” is not
limited to animals imported
from abroad. A number of
native American animals
including the skunk, fox and
-accoon are included in this
category because they have
not been domesticated
through long association with
man, and because they are
never really at home in
captivity.
For any pet, the most
common sign of rabies is not
the generally assumed foam
ing of the mouth, but a
radical change in behavior.
Pets that are normally quiet
and timid may spring out to
attack family members and
strangers alike. Afflicted
animals also develop strange
eating habits and try to
swallow sticks, stones and
other small foreign objects.
Sometimes rabies causes a
type of paralysis of the
throat, and the pet will
appear to be choking on a bit
of food. A cat in this condition
may lose its voice and cry in
a rather hoarse tone.
Since it is almost impos
sible to keep an animal
indoors all the time, any pet
that hunts or stalks other
animals should have a
current rabies vaccination.
The vaccination will safe
guard the pet, should it
encounter a rabid animal and
get bitten in the process.
Rural Americans
One of every three Amer
icans lives in a rural area. In
addition, rural counties are
home for about one-half of
the nation’s poor. More than
2.5 million rural families
have incomes below the
poverty level and another 1
million exist near poverty.
The median income of rural
workers is 20 per cent less
than that of their urban
counterparts.

CAVE SPRINGS
COUNTRY FESTIVAL
JUNE 11 & 12
Under the magnificent old
oaks in Cave Springs historic
park, the 3rd Country
Festival will take place June
11th and 12th. The main
attraction will be the work of
80 craftsmen. Creators of a
wide range of old and
contemporary crafts, excel
lence of design is stressed.
Demonstrations by the
craftsmen include spinning,
weaving, woodcarving, bas
ketry, and pottery. Consider
this an opportune time to add
to or begin a collection of fine
art pieces.
Also in the park is one of
the largest swimming pools
in Georgia as well as the cave
and spring for which the town
is named. Picnics on the
grounds near a spring fed
pond complete the picture.
The show is sponsored by
the Cave Spring Historical
Society and proceeds go to
finance the restoration of the
Hearn classroom building
located in the park.
