Question regarding dog with health condition and rabies laws?

areias asked:


I recently moved to a small town in MA. I have already been visited by the AC officer asking me to register my dogs (I have quite a few) with the town…of course as required by law they must be vaccinated for rabies and licensed. One of my dogs was vaccinated a year ago, but I’ve since found out he has chronic renal failure…I am not in anyway comfortable with giving him anymore vaccines. I can’t seem to find if there are any ordinances regarding dogs being exempt for a health condition?

   Almost anywhere a rabies titer is sufficient to prove the dog has adequate immunity. It’s just a blood test to make sure the dog has enough antibodies against the rabies virus to prove he’s already immune and doesn’t need a booster shot. I’m really sorry about your dog having renal failure. There’s a lot of research on managing it through diet here at the Texas A&M vet school.
