  • A rabid animal would be drinking from a water bowl? They tend to have trouble swallowing and will sometimes freak out if they see liquids. I think that's why they used to call rabies "hydrophobia". I would make sure that your dog was up-to-date on shots and might observe it for a while for odd behavior. Are you sure that the opossum was rabid?
  • If your dog has been vaccinated against Rabies...there should be no problem. I wouldn't take any chances with my peace of mind or my dog's health...check with your vet...there could be other diseases that could be transfered via the contact of a water or food bowl. As far as I know the introduction has to be through blood borne contact...but I am not a vet.
