There appears to be an abundance of skunks in the Morden area.

Greg Douglas is a veterinarian with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.


He says some signs you should watch for that would indicate the animal is rabid include excessive salivation, problems walking, aggression, or abnormal behavior.


If you notice an animal in this condition it's important to stay away from it and contact the Carman CFIA district office.


Douglas adds it's also important to keep your pet's vaccines up to date.


He says that way, if they come in contact with an animal with rabies, they are preventing it from spreading to other animals or even humans.
