Kerr County officials confirmed a fourth case of rabies in just two weeks.

– The latest case was reported on Monday when a resident on Antler Drive called authorities and said a skunk in their yard was acting abnormally, Reagan Givens, the director of Kerr County Animal Services, said in the release.

“Please, if you see an animal acting strangely or sick, note its description, exact location, which direction it might be headed and call our office at 830-257-3100 to report it,” Givens said. “Stay vigilant, make sure your pets’ vaccinations are up to date against this deadly viral disease, do not feed wild animals and avoid touching any unknown animal, even stray dogs or cats.

Someone infected with rabies will feel flu-like symptoms such as weakness or discomfort, fever or headache, and discomfort at the site of the bite.
