🚨 RABIES ALERT – MELBOURNE AREA 🚨

The Florida Department of Health in Brevard County has issued a 60-day rabies alert after a raccoon captured near Andrews Avenue in Melbourne on August 27 tested positive for rabies.

The affected area is bordered by:
• West Eau Gallie Boulevard to the north
• Sarno Road to the south
• Croton Road to the east
• North Wickham Road to the west

Rabies is currently present in the local wild animal population, so please use extra caution with wildlife and stray animals.

🐾 Keep your pets current on their rabies vaccinations.
🐾 Keep dogs on a leash when outside.
🐾 Secure livestock and outdoor animals.
🐾 Avoid contact with raccoons, bats, foxes, skunks, otters, bobcats, coyotes and stray animals.
🐾 Do not leave pet food or unsecured garbage outside where it may attract wildlife.

If you or your pet is bitten or scratched by a wild or stray animal, seek medical or veterinary attention immediately.

📞 Report human exposures to DOH-Brevard: 321-634-6337, option 3
📞 Report stray animals to Brevard County Sheriff’s Office Animal Services: 321-633-2024

And one more reminder from your veterinary team: even indoor pets should remain current on their rabies vaccines. Bats and other wildlife can occasionally find their way inside homes, and rabies is nearly always fatal once symptoms develop.

Please share so our Melbourne and Eau Gallie neighbors are aware. ❤️🐾
