Kerr County Animal Control Director Regan Givens said a report came in that an officer was seen in a yard that had family pets.
The post said this was located in the Bumble Bee neighborhood, near Texas 39, by the Guadalupe River, between Ingram and Hunt.
An animal control officer visited on Oct. 31 to collect the specimen.
It was sent for testing at a zoological lab on Monday, Nov. 3, the post said. KCAC was informed on Wednesday, Nov. 5, that the skunk was positive for rabies.
This is the eighth positive rabies case in Kerr County for 2025, the post said.
“Please never attempt to touch or feed any unfamiliar animal, including stray cats and dogs,” Givens said. “They may seem friendly or tame, but if the animal is infected, it may be the disease causing it to behave that way.”
If you see an animal acting strange or appearing ill, make a note of its physical description, the exact location and where it’s heading, if you can.
Then, call that information into your local animal control office or sheriff’s office, if it’s after regular business hours.
