If the dog's vaccinations are current, then there is no recorded case of a human contracting the rabies virus from the dog. But, a booster shot is recommended.
Yes. Dogs are one of the most common sources of a rabies infection.
Yes. For sure. You need to take full course of anti-rabies treatment. You may be given a shot of immunoglobulin.
no I personally was bitten by a java monkey and I did not have to get a rabies shot, but I did need a tetanus shot.. and that's a pretty big needle!
It can. Opossums can carry Rabies. If your dog was bitten by any wild animal, it should receive a Rabies booster shot.
A rabies shot is only necessary if the rat is wild, otherwise a rabies shot isn't required. If you're bitten by a rat you might want to get that wound treated right away, even if it is domestic, they still carry gems.
Because the rabies shot is a live virus, no. This could increase the rate of your dog getting sick from rabies. Get your dog tested, then if it has rabies, get it rabies injections.
Yes, if a person is bitten by an animal with rabies then they can get the disease.
That is very serious thing. You need to have rabies immunoglobulin shot also along with course of anti rabies vaccine.
If a cat has a rabies shot after it has already become infected with rabies, the shot will be ineffective and the cat can infect people despite having been vaccinated. If the cat receives its rabies shot while it is healthy, and if the shot is effective (which it is nearly all the time), then the cat cannot catch rabies and cannot infect a human. However, a very small number of rabies shots (about one in 100,000) is not effective. Note that the rabies vaccine can lose effectiveness if it is mishandled. In almost all cases, if the original shot is ineffective, the booster shot corrects it.
atlantis existed BUT vampires are sooo fake and this will never happen If you're talking about the bat then he will need both a rabies shot (series of 6) and a tetnus shot. And quickly because once rabies is onset it is incurable and fatal.
Yes. If the animal is bitten by an infected animal. There is a great chance of it being infected.
Well, you can get your yorkie shots, so they dont have rabiesA bit more:It's not likely the yorkie had rabies, but you need to check with the dog's owner to make sure it has had all of it's shots. And you probably need a tetanus shot; when I got bitten by my own pug my doctor made me get one.
Tetanus is caused by a bacteria in the soil. Tetanus shots are thought to be good for at least 10 years. Although rabies are very rare in ferrets, if you were bitten, make sure it had it's rabies vaccinations.
