FOX WITH RABIES FOUND IN WOODCREEK
A fox found in Woodcreek following an encounter with person was found to have rabies.

According to the city of Woodcreek, the fox approached a resident on Westwood Drive on the morning of Oct. 28. The resident was bitten by the fox that had been hiding under her vehicle.

“Please be aware of your surroundings and use extra caution while outside walking or playing golf,” the city said in a news release. “Do not feed or touch any wildlife.”

When officers arrived at the scene, the fox attempted to bite them and was killed. Further testing confirmed that the fox had rabies.

“If someone sees a fox acting strangely do not go up to it,” Jay Leivdal, Program Specialist for the Department of State Health Services, said. “…Odd behaviors are seeing a fox during the day time, it being overly friendly or overly aggressive, showing any neurological symptoms like it can’t walk or just not acting like a normal fox.”
