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.

Who developed the first rabies vaccine in 1885?
Louis Pasteur developed the vaccine for rabies in 1885.
Why antirabies injection given subcutaneous earlier and now intramascularly?
The new protocol for post-exposure rabies vaccination is because the vaccine itself has been updated and modified. Before, persons who are suspected of being exposed to rabies received numerous subcutaneous shots (usually over the stomach area) because that was the most effective route of administration for the vaccine. The new vaccine takes only five shots and can be given in the muscle while still working just fine.
Do you need to get a rabies vaccine if you are bitten by a cat that yo have at home and can observe?
Rabies is fatal once symptoms appear. Even with the best medical treatment, the number of people in all of recorded history that have recovered from rabies after becoming symptomatic is in the single digits, and all of the ones I'm aware of had moderate to severe brain damage as a result, so surviving may not even be the best case scenario depending on how you feel about intangibles like "quality of life."
If you're willing to let doctors dissect the cat and examine its brain tissue, you might be able to get away with not taking the prophylactic vaccination.
If it's your pet cat, though, maybe you should just go ahead and get the shots, because if you start showing symptoms before the cat does, you will die.

If a dog bites and has rabies and the dog got injected because he bit someone will the dog be crazy?
First of all, if the dog has rabies, death will be imminent. The crazy behavior would be the result of the infection of the nervous system.
If you are trying to say that the dog bit someone and was given a rabies shot because of that. . . Normally, a dog is quarantined for 10 days after a bite to see if he shows signs of the disease and to determine if the victim should undergo the rabies treatment. Giving an uninfected dog a rabies shot might be conditional to release. Some people feel that the rabies vaccines do affect the temperament of their pets, though it should not make them crazy.
you should take your cat to the vet immediately!!!! if your mom absolutely refuses to take it to the vet then take it to the local shelter to see the shelter vet
