More than 250 pets vaccinated during clinic

By Jessica Goode
The Bandera Prophet

More than 250 pets were vaccinated within four hours Saturday during a vaccination clinic in Bandera. Hosted by Hill Country Veterinary Hospital, Drs. Conrad Nightingale and Heather Bullard administered rabies vaccines under the big tent in the True Value parking lot in an effort to protect the animals from the deadly virus.
The clinic was planned in response to six confirmed rabies cases, and a seventh just over the county line, thus far this year. The wild animals, two foxes and five raccoons, were found within close proximity to homes throughout the county.
Pet owners are advised against handling any animal that has not been vaccinated. Authorities also recommend against feeding animals outside.
“This is a big concern from our standpoint,” Nightingale said.
Representatives of the Hill Country Veterinary Hospital said another vaccination clinic may be planned, however nothing is confirmed at this time.
The Bandera County Sheriffi’s Office urges anyone who sees a stray animal, or suspects an animal may be rabid to keep their distance and call the Sheriff’s Office at 830-796-3771.
