First of all, if the dog has rabies, death will be imminent. The crazy behavior would be the result of the infection of the nervous system.If you are trying to say that the dog bit someone and was given a rabies shot because of that. . . Normally, a dog is quarantined for 10 days after a bite to see if he shows signs of the disease and to determine if the victim should undergo the rabies treatment. Giving an uninfected dog a rabies shot might be conditional to release. Some people feel that the rabies vaccines do affect the temperament of their pets, though it should not make them crazy.
You got bit by yorkie dog do they have rabies?

Can a dog who has bitten a person and not transmitted rabies infect another person they bite later?
This question is rather confusing. However, if a dog is biting people this much, the dog needs attention of some kind. If a dog bites someone, there is probably a law in your area (if you are from the US) that it needs to be reported and then quarantined for ten days. That's the law in NYS where I live. This is to be certain the dog doesn't have rabies. My dog bit someone and even though we had proof that she had rabies vaccinations, we had to quarantine her for ten days. If your dog does not have rabies and is not vaccinated it will not catch rabies by biting a person unless the person the dog bit was carrying rabies, which is very, very unlikely. An animal catches rabies from other infected animals, from either getting scratched or bitten by that animal, or from eating a dead animal that had rabies. That's why it is so important to get your dog vaccinated every year.
