The animal had known contact with a dog in the area, though no human exposures have been reported.
Interim Health Director Dr. David Rose says the case underscores the serious public health risk rabies poses and the need to keep pets vaccinated. The Health Deartment urges anyone who may have had contact with a wild or stray animal through a bite, scratch, or saliva exposure to contact the health district or local animal control immediately.
Health officials say rabies is a deadly virus if not treated promptly.
