BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WIAT) – With extra animals on the street, the risk of rabies is a concern and as part of Rabies Awareness Week, the State Department of Health has tips to prevent the spread of the disease.
All owners should make sure their pets have up to date rabies vaccinations.
Avoid petting or picking up stray animals, even if they appear to be injured and if you see a stray dog or cat call animal control.
Theyre better equipped to deal with them, so you can avoid an injury.
The health department investigates thousands of bites every year.
