What? 25%? Isn't rabies in dogs lethal in fairly short order (like in humans)?
I'm pretty sure the rural county in which I work hasn't seen rabies in a dog since like 1986.
I work in an emergency room (frequently caring for dog bites) in an area with numerous packs of strays. Dog rabies is always a concern, but I've never seen a confirmed case.
