Carolina Arbors Residents,
Freedom Wildlife Solutions has received confirmation from the Health Department that the fox recently found deceased on Bloomsbury Manor tested positive for rabies. At this time, we believe this is the same fox that had been displaying aggressive behavior. There is currently no indication of other rabid animals in the area.
The fox does not appear to have been consumed by a carnivore such as a coyote. However, residents are urged to remain vigilant and report any unusual animal behavior to both community management and Joe Folta, Wildlife Biologist with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission, at 336-212-7550.
Important:
Anyone who was bitten or had direct contact with the fox should seek medical attention and begin the rabies vaccination series immediately, if they have not already done so.
Thank you for your attention to this important matter and for helping keep our community safe.
