USDA Launches Rabies Vaccine Drops Across Multiple States to Protect Pets and Wildlife
The USDA is distributing rabies vaccine bait packets in Alabama, and while some pets, like a puppy in Vestavia Hills, have ingested them, the packets are generally not harmful to dogs or cats if consumed, though they may cause gastrointestinal issues. Pet owners are advised to supervise their animals and report any concerns, but the vaccine is safe and does not cause rabies or protect unvaccinated pets.
