Sick foxes sighted in and around Statesboro
Bulloch County Humane Enforcement: They could have mange, rabies
Animal Shelter logo
Bulloch County Humane Enforcement officers have fielded several calls recently about foxes that appear ill, and supervisor Joey Sanders reminds citizens that rabies has been documented in the area in the past. Citizens near the Merrywood subdivision have complained about a fox that appears to be suffering from mange, and residents around the Huntington subdivision have reported foxes eating pet food, he said. While no confirmed cases of rabies have been reported in Bulloch County this year, a fox with rabies attacked a woman last fall outside her home in the Flemington Woods subdivision in southeastern Bulloch County, near Ellabell.
