NO as rabies germs are present in its saliva only not the nails.As if there is a case that the dog has dirty nails due to which it gets bacterial and also the dog licks his own claw and nails due to which the saliva gets transmit into claw or nails they get virus .As rabies virus is in saliva of animals.Also there must be precaution from licking of animal which contain rabies on cut or wound surface of body as then the virus through saliva gets transmitted into body.
