Rabies in baby goats at a mobile petting zoo means anybody who touched those animals needs to call AppHealthCare now, not later. The state confirmed multiple cases. Rabies after exposure is almost always fatal, and post-exposure treatment only works if you get it before symptoms start. If your kids petted goats at a petting zoo in the past weeks, don't wait. Call.
