    Usually, only people who bite a dog with rabies will get rabies. This is because the rabies virus is mainly found in the saliva of sick animals and is transmitted to other animals or humans through bites or contact with the saliva of sick animals.

    However, sometimes even if a dog appears healthy, it can carry the rabies virus. While the chances of this happening are low, there is still a certain risk. Therefore, in case of a bite, the following measures should be taken immediately:

    1.Rinse the wound: Rinse the wound thoroughly with running water to remove any virus that may remain.

    2.Seek medical help: Seek medical help as soon as possible, especially if the bite is severe or close to nerve tissue.

    3.Get vaccinated against rabies: If the bite occurs in a high-risk area or if the bite is severe, your doctor may recommend a rabies vaccine to prevent infection.

    4.Consider rabies immune globulin: If the bite is severe and the vaccination has been for a long time, your doctor may recommend rabies immune globulin to boost your immunity.

    In conclusion, even if a dog appears healthy, there is still a certain risk after being bitten. Therefore, we should take proper precautions and seek medical help as soon as possible to reduce the risk of contracting rabies.

    Normally, it should be, people who are not bitten by dogs will not get rabies, not necessarily have to have rabies after a dog bites people, before they will get rabies, normal dogs, if they bite people, they will also get rabies, so whether it is a pet dog or a wild dog, they should be bitten immediately, and the rabies vaccine should be injected, because the incubation period of rabies is particularly long, in case of accidents.

    1. The cause of death of the dog explained by the landlord is unknown, and simply saying that anemia, parasites, diarrhea and fever does not mean that the dog died due to a rabies attack.

    2. It is necessary to correct a misunderstanding that "dogs can only be infected after biting", which is definitely a wrong concept, as long as the dog carries the rabies virus, regardless of whether it is sick or not, there is a chance of infection. This folk saying kills people, and the mortality rate after the onset of rabies is 100%.

    3. If the dog said by the landlord, no matter what the reason is, it dies, as long as it carries the rabies virus, there is a 30% probability that it will be transmitted to people.

    4. The child's foot is bitten, which is a blessing in misfortune, because after the foot is bitten, if the child is infected, the foot is also the part with the lowest complication rate.

    5. If a child is infected, generally speaking, it is rare to have an incubation period of more than one year. Although it is said on the Internet that some of them are more than 20 years old, I believe that doctors in major hospitals rarely see them for more than a year.

    According to the 10-day observation method, the neighbor's child cannot be infected. According to the symptoms, the death of the puppy is almost impossible to rabies, but it cannot be ruled out that the puppy is infected with rabies (unvaccinated), in the incubation period, or even in the early stage of the disease. Rabies infection in dogs is not related to their age, and because of the young age of dogs, the onset of infection is rapid.

    Therefore, for the sake of safety, it is recommended to vaccinate children against rabies, people, can not afford to be infected with rabies!

The rabies virus is usually found in the saliva of cats, dogs, and other animals, so it is usually very dangerous to bleed from a bite. But the landlord, this question still needs to have a "classification discussion idea" (I can't find the right word).
