Rabies is passed by bodily fluid contact from an infected animal to another warm blooded animal. Any animal that is infected with Rabies could pass it on to your dog if it is bit or scratched. This is why it is so important to have your dog vaccinated against Rabies. You should get the first vaccine at 4 months of age then booster in one year, then every 3 years thereafter. Check with your Veterinarian about this too.

Can monkey bite causes rabies?
A monkey bite can infect a human with rabies just the same as any other animal infected with it can. Monkeys are NOT born with rabies. They need to be bit by another infected animal. If a monkey has never been exposed to rabies then no, its bite will not "cause" rabies. If however, the monkey has been around another rabid animal and it was bit, it can infect another animal or person if it bites them. Note, rabies is deadly in monkeys just as it is in humans, so a monkey with rabies would not live very long anyway.Rabies is a neurotropic virus that can cause fatal disease in humans, it is transmitted to them by infective animals who have themselves contracted Rabies. A common infection route is established by a bite, or by saliva from an infected animal entering through a skin wound or lesion.At the outset it should be made clear that there is NO established evidence that any monkey has ever transmitted a Rabies infection to a human.
Do Siamese cat have rabies?
Siamese cats do not inately have rabies, but it is possible for them to contract rabies as it is for any cat. It's best to have the animal vaccinated for rabies so it is protected from contracting the disease.
Can a dog who has bitten a person and not transmitted rabies infect another person they bite later?
This question is rather confusing. However, if a dog is biting people this much, the dog needs attention of some kind. If a dog bites someone, there is probably a law in your area (if you are from the US) that it needs to be reported and then quarantined for ten days. That's the law in NYS where I live. This is to be certain the dog doesn't have rabies. My dog bit someone and even though we had proof that she had rabies vaccinations, we had to quarantine her for ten days. If your dog does not have rabies and is not vaccinated it will not catch rabies by biting a person unless the person the dog bit was carrying rabies, which is very, very unlikely. An animal catches rabies from other infected animals, from either getting scratched or bitten by that animal, or from eating a dead animal that had rabies. That's why it is so important to get your dog vaccinated every year.
Can you get rabies from an animal scratching you?
The answer is no. If you are worried about a little scratch from a rat you shouldn't be. As long as you clean it out well and keep it unexposed you should be fine. The only way rabies can be transmitted is if the animal has rabies(this does not include pets)and it bites you and it draws blood. Do not worry and if it makes you feel better,see a doctor.
