overdue rabies vaccine

STORY AT-A-GLANCE

  • Thankfully, the veterinary community has issued new guidelines for the handling of pets overdue for a rabies booster who are exposed to the virus
  • The revised guidelines recommend that cats and dogs exposed to rabies who are overdue for a vaccine be given a booster shot followed by an observation period
  • Currently, the law in many states requires rabies-exposed pets to be quarantined for several months at great financial expense to the owner, or euthanized
  • The new guidelines will hopefully be adopted by states and counties across the U.S., and sooner rather than later
