The Vector Control Program routinely collects and tests fleas and blood samples from squirrels in our local mountains and campgrounds. If tests come back positive for plague, park rangers are notified, squirrel burrows may be treated for fleas, and warning signs are posted to inform the public on how to avoid fleas and protect themselves and their pets from this serious disease.
Symptoms include chills, fever, headache, muscle aches, weakness, and most commonly swollen and tender lymph nodes called buboes. This stage is called the bubonic plague. Plague symptoms usually appear 2 to 6 days after infection. Plague is treatable when found early.
An animal with plague will become very ill, may stop eating and will have a fever. Swollen lymph glands may occur, generally in the neck area. Inform your veterinarian if a pet becomes sick following a visit to a plague area. Squirrels Test Positive for Plague in Plague Activity Map through Report a Dead Bird.
