Once the saliva dries up, it's inactivated. Salt is a powerful desiccant, it destroys the virus almost instantly, so does soap and most antiseptics. It survives freezing though. Some viruses are "naked" and don't have the lipid shell, and their shell, calles a capsid, is all proteins, very resistant to drying and exposure to the elements overall. Parvoviruses are a good example. Good to know! Thanks, Tatiana!

They were able to get the skunk out. They didn't find out it carried rabies until days later, when the goats started getting sick. Keith

Yep my gosts stayed in electric net fence I moved arounfd the farn as they ate the brush down. One could get in if it wanted or it would be easy for me to have fenced one in when moving the fence. Would be hard to see in th thick areas I was moving them to.

Maybe the goats are smart enough to steer clear, I'm not sure. In some respects they are skiddish, but sometimes overly curious. I worry more about 1 sneaking in their hutch.
