Tests have confirmed a skunk found in the South Bruce area had rabies.
The Grey Bruce Health Unit says the test results were done yesterday.
But there was no human involvement.
It is the second rabid animal report in Grey Bruce this year.
A rabid fox was confirmed in the Brockton area last month.
Rabies is fatal to animals and can cause death in humans, without timely treatment.
Health officials recommend you do not feed or touch wild or unknown animals and keep children away from them.
