"Rabid otter attack leaves Florida man injured and dog in danger"
A Jupiter man was attacked by a rabid otter while feeding ducks in his backyard. The otter, which tested positive for rabies, has been euthanized. This is the first case of a rabid otter in Palm Beach County since 2010. The man suffered multiple bites but is recovering and being treated for rabies. Palm Beach County Animal Care and Control captured the otter after it attacked a dog in the same neighborhood. Officials believe the otter contracted rabies from an infected raccoon and are urging the public to be cautious when feeding wildlife, especially raccoons, and ensure their animals are vaccinated.
