A county-wide quarantine is currently in place for all unvaccinated dogs, cats, and ferrets in Yellowstone County, after a positive case of rabies was confirmed.

A landowner in Yellowstone County reported the dead rabbits to the Fish, Wildlife and Parks staff, who said that the rabbits appear to have been domesticated.

Montana law requires CWD-positive game farm herds to be quarantined for five years or for all the animals to be killed and tested for the disease.
