Officials Tuesday confirmed Catawba County's first case of rabies this year after a dog was exposed to a rabid skunk in the Vale community.
Authorities were not sure if the dog killed the skunk or if the animal was already dead when the dog found it, according to the Catawba County's Animal Care and Control Division.
The dog had not been vaccinated and was euthanized, officials said. State health technicians in Raleigh confirmed Tuesday that the skunk was rabid.
