Can dogs live with rabies and if so, what are the potential risks and implications for both the dog and its human companions?
Dogs can survive with rabies, but it is rare. If a dog has rabies, it can spread the virus to humans through bites or scratches. This can lead to serious illness or even death in humans. It is important to vaccinate pets against rabies and seek immediate medical attention if bitten by a potentially rabid animal.
Can you give your dog the dhpp vaccine at the same time as the rabie shot?
Yes you can but the Rabies vaccination has to be given by a Veterinarian. It is a killed virus and the DHLP/Parvo are from killed or modified live viruses. Perfectly safe but have your Veterinarian do the vaccinations.
Should a dog have a rabies booster shot when bitten by a coyote?
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.

How long can the rabies virus live outside the host?
When it comes to the rabies virus, it cannot live outside the body of the vector host for more than a few seconds. The moment the virus is put out of the salivary glands of the animal, the virus will die. Rabies is affected by temperature and moisture similar to other viruses. Aerosol transmission is exceptionally rare, though possible. Contamination of this type is almost exclusive to laboratory workers and people who handle infected animals. Rabies can not live independently in an aerosolized state and must be passed through contaminated fluids ejected into the air. An infected person or animal would have to spray a susceptible area (eyes, nose, open wound, etc.) with contaminated fluid thus passing the virus. However, in cases where an animal has succumbed to the rabies virus, the virus can continue to live in the animal for nearly 48 hours after death. That is why it is prudent not to touch dead animals that you find in the wild. Common animals that carry this virus include raccoons, groundhogs, opossums, bats and skunks.
How are dogs effected from rabies?

Rabies has a wide range of symptoms-from extreme aggression to near catatonia. Make sure your dog is vaccinated and you will not have to worry.
Can stray cats have rabies?
YES! There are very few animals that are not carriers of rabies. Raccoon's skunks, cats and dogs are all vectors for the rabies virus. Rabies can be passed from animal to animal through saliva, feces, and flesh wounds. People can also get rabies the same way. Animals often only live a few weeks at most when the contract rabies, so keep your distance from the stray cats until you are sure you have allowed a few weeks time to make sure they don't before interaction, quarantine works best during these few weeks.

Does bleach kill norovirus?
Several veternarians I have spoken with agree that a solution of bleach and hot water (1 to 3 ratio) will kill the virus. You have to remember that the virus can live 1/2 year in your home or yard so everything must be cleaned. It's a nasty, nasty virus so the preventative vaccination is extremely important for all dogs.
