It has to do with the required six-month quarantine.
Having a dog sentenced to a six-month post-exposure quarantine is both financial and emotional disaster. And for many dogs, a death sentence.
The light at the end of the tunnel?
New research done at Kansas State University found that dogs with out-of-date vaccines respond to rabies booster shot the same way as dogs current on their vaccines.
This could mean only a 45 day at-home observation instead of six-month quarantine.
This might lead to changes in the veterinary industry and save lives.
