A rabies outbreak has led to the tragic euthanasia of 11 puppies after one of them tested positive following an adoption event.
The infected puppy, originally from Texas , was part of a litter cared for by Moms and Mutts Colorado, a rescue specializing in pregnant and nursing dogs.
The delayed discovery of the rabies case, due to lost test results from the skunk's remains, triggered a chain of events that culminated in the heartbreaking decision to euthanize the exposed puppies. 'When we found out that the puppy was positive for rabies, I made a list of every person. We did contact tracing, so every person that I knew had come in contact with that puppy,' Jones said.
'The rescue contacted us and said that"Hey, we just got word that one of the puppies potentially has some exposure. We need you to come in. We're going to have a vet check him out and give him his first vaccination that day as well,"' Eden said. 'They said that since we had him for two weeks and he had been like kind of quarantined for a month, that it would go down to 90 days,' Eden said.
The couple spent their last day with Musubi at the Foothills Animal Shelter so they could have some peace and privacy.
