I'm typing this to try and inform some of y'all of what is happening in everyone's hog hunting world right now! It is called Psuedo Rabies! This is different from the regular rabies, that we all give our dog a shot for yearly! There is not a shot for Psuedo Rabies! I'm not a veterinarian or a professional, but have been asking a lot of questions trying to learn about this and just wanted to share some information I have gathered, because this is serious! TWilbanks and his gang caught a boar Saturday night, and as of Monday evening, 48 hours later, 4 cur dogs and the cd have all died from it! One sick hog killed 5 dogs!

If your dog contracts the disease, it will die! The disease seems to attack their brain and make them go crazy!

I know personally of 10 dogs that have died in the last month from this disease here in Texas! It's not from just one geographical region either, the first I heard of was in Teague, Freestone County. Last week a friend was hunting between Huntsville and Trinity, Walker and Trinity Counties! This weekend it happened up in northeast Texas, near Dangerfield, in Morris County.

The hogs transferred the disease by simply cutting the dogs, not a severe cut by anyone's judgement, OR by the dogs catching/biting the hogs. So the disease is in the hogs blood and saliva.

The signs of the infected dogs start out with slobbering and really droopy bottom eye lids and then most dogs start severely scratching their skin around their head, eventually scratching through their skin. One dog started scratching behind its front shoulder until the hide was raw!

One of the dog owners in Teague got cut by the hog also, and he had to go through a round of 19 shots over a couple week period!

So if you have a dog mysteriously die a few days after catching hogs, or your dog starts showing these symptoms, be careful! It's not supposed to be able to transmit from dog to dog, according to the State man that came to Trinity, but if an infected hogs saliva can transmit it why can't an infected dogs saliva?

 I just wanted to try to spread the word so people have some knowledge of what is going on in the woods!

Thanks for sharing. I went to a feral hog seminar and got the spill about pseudo rabies and swine tebercullosis and they said that they ran a test on feral hogs in Louisiana and 80% of the hogs they tested had swine tebercullosis. If a human gets it then your supposedly going to have flu like symptoms for the rest of your life... What I gathered from it and there is no cute yet for it if a human catches it

Pseudo rabies is bad stuff... I wonder why the outbreak all of the sudden? You normally hear of one or two cases every year or so.

Erik, we figured out that they didnt get it from the hog the other night...

Last week we caught 6 hogs, nothing over 100 pounds and nothing with any teeth.. No dogs with any cuts/knicks...

The dogs didnt show any symptoms until last night... We hunted a few times between the time all those dogs were together and the time they started showing symptoms... All the dogs acted and hunted fine between that period...

Hunted Saturday night and dogs were fine... Went to feed Sunday evening and my bulldog had already scratched the skin off his head and was swollen... Eyes red and droppy, slobbering pretty bad.. Made a call to confirm what it was and put him down...

The curs looked fine that night.. Came home from work today and one was already dead and the other was bad off...

It must not take much to get it, because my curs would roll out once we got to them, and we were right on top of them each time we caught a hog...  This just adds another reason as to why I would rather my curs never put their mouth on a hog...

RIP Molly, Hawk, Lady, Big Mac, and Daisy...

Loosing Molly and Hawk sure put some hurt on me and my pack...
