Solution
The correct option is C All of the above Most rabies cases are found in domestic animals, such as the dog or cat. But with the rabies vaccine now required for pets and livestock, most rabies animal cases today are found in wild animals and stray dogs. It is found most often in raccoons, skunks, bats, foxes, and coyotes. Rarely it is found in rabbits, squirrels, rats, and opossums, although it is becoming more common in groundhogs. Raccoons are a concern because they often interact with household pets.
