vaccination series) protects for 1 year. Any rabies vaccination given
afterwards protects for 3 years.

the brain. At this point, other nerve pathways to muscles and organs
become affected.
In Idaho, bats have been the most common carrier of the rabies
virus. This is dangerous for cats because they are more likely to find a
debilitated bat. For specific information regarding rabies in Idaho, go
