Of course. You can't catch rabies from grass or pavement. As long as the dog dosent recive a bite from a wild animal or a strange dog it should be fine.
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.
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.
Getting a rabies shot will have no effect on a dog's grooming, which can be done whenever the dog needs it.
If a dog actually has rabies, there is nothing you can do for it. You need to call the pound as soon as possible before he transfers the virus to people or other animals. A dog with rabies is incredibly dangerous. There is a rabies vaccine, but if a dog does not have the vaccine and catches the virus, there is no cure at that point.
Rabies can only occur if your dog is not vaccinated against rabies and if the dog that bit your dog has rabies. If it does not have rabies then your dog will not have rabies. But if you're still in doubt, see your Veterinarian.
No. However, if the dog has rabies, it probably isn't going to sit there and not bite you if you do so.
today i gave rabies shot to my 3mth old puppy but i m not sure that it went 100% can i give one more shot of rabies vaccine.....
No. A dog can only get rabies from contact with a rabies-infected animal.
Atticus shot the dog because he was rabid, and Atticus was the best shot in town.
No. Rabies vaccine is just that-a vaccine for rabies. To protect your dog against distemper,parvo and other diseases the dog must also be vaccinated agaist those. Frequently these are given in a combination shot,so your dog only has to get poked once to be protected from up to 7 diseases. Rabies vaccine,however,is always just for rabies.
The dog is shot because he contracted rabies.
Why not? North Carolina is in the U.S., and rabies can be a problem in many states.
