GASTON COUNTY, N.C. — Rabies cases are climbing across two of our counties, and in one of them, a puppy was exposed due to a rabid bat.
The 10th case in Gaston County happened in a Mount Holly neighborhood last week.
The dog was so young that it hadn’t received its rabies vaccine yet, so it will have to be quarantined for four months.
In Lincolnton, a skunk sprayed a group of family dogs and followed them into the home through a doggy door.
