NO you cannot get rabies from a scratch even if the animal has rabies. That was a good question. Rabies is transmitted through saliva. This means the animal must bite you in order to transmit the disease.

YES!!! you can get rabies from a scratch. If the animal is licking its paws the saliva is transmitted to the claws as well. It may be a little more difficult however it is still just as dangerous.
