Pulaski Police Department
Press Release
February 9, 2012
Pulaski Police Department would like to warn the public of an outbreak of distemper, threatening the lives of dogs in our county. Distemper is a highly contagious airborne virus that kills nearly 50% of adult dogs, and 80% of puppies. There have been several confirmed cases of canine distemper in Pulaski County. It is believed that this outbreak is possibly coming from infected raccoons. The symptoms include high fever, coughing, and vomiting. If your pet has these symptoms, it is recommended to have it checked out by a veterinarian. However, the only way to protect your dog is to have its vaccinations. On March 10th and March 24th, between noon and 4:00 PM, The Pulaski County Animal Shelter will be hosting Rocky’s Clinic, where distemper shots will be offered for only $5, rabies vaccinations for $5, (required by state law), and bordatella (kennel cough) for $10. Animal Control will be present, selling county dog tags, which is required by law. Appointments for these free vaccinations are preferred, but they will also accept walk-ins. To schedule an appointment, call (540) 674-0089. |
