NO you cannot get rabies from a scratch even if the animal has rabies. That was a good question. Rabies is transmitted through saliva. This means the animal must bite you in order to transmit the disease.
YES!!! you can get rabies from a scratch. If the animal is licking its paws the saliva is transmitted to the claws as well. It may be a little more difficult however it is still just as dangerous.

∙ 12y agoFirst you have to find out if it has rabies then you can take it away.
AnswerYes. If it has rabies on your property it will have them other places to and can be dangerous. But first seek advice from a veterinarian as to the correct symptons of the sickness in a raccoon. Don't take chances, raccoons can be mean by nature but this one may just be ill.IDLE
Raccoon rabies is dangerous to the human body. That's why it's better to remove the raccoon as soon as possible. If you're from Ontario, contact The Critter Guy to Remove it.
