It is possible, but not likely. If the dog has rabies, and you have cuts in your mouth, it could be possible to be infected.
Yes. For sure. You need to take full course of anti-rabies treatment. You may be given a shot of immunoglobulin.
No. A dog can only get rabies from contact with a rabies-infected animal.
If a dog becomes infected with rabies, the other dogs in the pack will know this and kill said infected dog for fear that others in the pack will become infected, that is if the dog stays withing the pack. when a dog gets infected with rabies it becomes disoriented and will usually leave the pack and starve to death.
In my opinion no, because puppies get rabies only if an infected dog bites them; so if anything a dog has more rabies then a puppy.
No. However, if the dog has rabies, it probably isn't going to sit there and not bite you if you do so.
yes but only from a rabies infected dog. if you are from the UK don't worry because rabies doesn't exist in this country anymore.
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
The answer is NO, unless the dog is infected with it and it bites or scratches you. You can't get rabies with swallowing it.
if you get bitten by a dog with rabies you might get them
No, not all dog saliva contains the rabies virus. Rabies is a viral disease that is transmitted primarily through the bite of an infected animal. Only dogs that are infected with the rabies virus can transmit it through their saliva. Most dogs are vaccinated against rabies, so the majority do not carry the virus.
Hypothetically, yes - ''if'' the dog was infected with rabies and ''if'' the virus has already traveled into the saliva and ''if'' the utensils were used to make raw or ready-to-eat food and ''if'' the virus was not destroyed by the enzymes and acid in your mouth and stomach, you ''might'' become infected with rabies this way. However, the much more common pathway is to simply be bitten by the dog who is infected with rabies. This is why it is extremely important to never try to pet an unknown or stray dog, and why you must keep your dog's vaccination against rabies current - it protects him, and it protects you as well.
Yes, prairie dogs can get rabies. They can contract the virus through the bite of an infected animal, such as a rabid bat or coyote. If you suspect a prairie dog may have rabies, contact animal control for assistance.
