State of Colorado Rabies Prevention 

The Animal you are taking home has not had Rabies Vaccination

Rabies is a deadly virus that attacks the nervous system and is usually spread through the bite of an infected animal. Less commonly, rabies can spread when saliva from an infected animal comes into contact with an open wound or the eyes, nose, or mouth. Once symptoms appear, rabies is almost always fatal.

In Colorado, skunks and bats are the most common carriers of rabies. Raccoons, foxes, coyotes, dogs, cats, horses, livestock, and other wildlife can also become infected.

Signs of Rabies

Animals with rabies may show:

• Aggression or fearfulness 
• Excessive drooling 
• Difficulty swallowing 
• Staggering or seizures 
• Unusual behavior, such as wild      animals appearing tame or active during daylight
