Show Notes
Bobcat in New Mexico tests positive for rabies, first case of 2026. Officials euthanize the animal after it attacks dogs, which receive booster shots and monitoring. Two people with possible exposure start post-exposure vaccines. Health experts stress the importance of vaccinating pets, as state rules require it. Rabies cases primarily occur in wild animals, with New Mexico seeing thirteen cases in 2025 and twelve the year before. Rabid animals may act aggressive or overly tame. Report any contact to local authorities and the health department helpline at 1-833-796-8773.
