You must go to your Dr. asap, if you know the animal has rabies. You will then start a series of shots, that used to be injected in the stomach area, and I believe you had to have 3 series. This process may have changed by now and become easier. The main thing here is to go to your Dr. as soon as possible, rabies in humans can be deadly if left untreated.
It can. Opossums can carry Rabies. If your dog was bitten by any wild animal, it should receive a Rabies booster shot.
by getting bitten by a rodent
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.
In theory, a dog could get rabies at birth. If the mother had rabies or if it was bitten right after birth.
No. You cannot have rabies. Even the dog did not die of rabies.
I have the same problem my dog bit and killed an outside rat.. I don't know if the rat had rabies but i want to know if my dog can get rabies from biting it
On July 6th they first used it on a boy who was bitten by a dog with rabies.
You would have to be bitten by a rabid animal e.g a dog.
Unless proved otherwise, every dog bite should be taken as threat of rabies. You need to consult your physician.
if you get bitten by a dog with rabies you might get them
i don't think you will get rabies because its been for 4 years since you have been bitten by a dog.
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.
