Can normal dogs carry rabies virus, and can puppies carry rabies virus

Yes.

Healthy dogs can carry the rabies virus, but the probability of carrying the rabies virus varies from region to region. If you are in a city, most of them are pet dogs, and there are fewer opportunities for contact with wild animals in the outside world, so the possibility of getting rabies virus and carrying it is very small. Pets in many cities are vaccinated against rabies, which further reduces the probability of carrying the rabies virus.

According to some statistics, in larger cities, the probability of dogs carrying rabies virus can even be zero, that is, there are no pet dogs with rabies virus detected, which is safer.

If rabies vaccination can be widely used in dogs, the transmission of rabies from dogs to humans can be further reduced or even eliminated. In rural areas with a high incidence of rabies, the carrier rate of rabies virus in healthy dogs is relatively high, according to relevant statistics, some can even be as high as about 7%, because most of these dogs do not carry out rabies vaccination, and many are free-range, and have more contact with wild animals.

No, dogs can be naturally poisonous. (False, for rabies virus, a contagious virus, it cannot be carried congenitally, nor can it be transmitted from mother to child, nor can it fall out of thin air, it must be a mad dog nearby that bites your dog, and the dog may get sick).

This is what the International Health Organization says.

The authoritative statement of the rabies research center of the World Health Organization - abbreviated as "WHO" is this:

1. Healthy dogs (cats and other animals) are not poisonous. ("Toxic" is a medical term that means "infectious," and "non-toxic" means that even if a dog or cat carries the rabies virus, it is not contagious until they become ill.) No injections).

2. Rabies virus disease is caused by the virus invading animal brain cells to cause rabies attacks, and animals will have very obvious abnormalities at this time, which are easy to identify. At this time, the saliva of the animal is poisonous (there is a virus) and is infectious, and if you are bitten by such an animal, you must get a rabies vaccination.

For puppies purchased from kennels, the probability of getting rabies is relatively low. If you are accidentally scratched or bitten, it is still recommended to go to the hospital for rabies immunization. The state of the puppy can be observed, generally within 1 month, and if there is no abnormality, there is basically no problem of rabies infection.

Puppies do not carry the rabies virus.

Puppies will not have rabies, because rabies will not be transmitted through childbirth, so the newborn puppy will never carry the virus, and the general incubation period of dogs with rabies is about 15 days and will be sick for up to 6 months, so the chance of newborn puppies getting rabies is close to zero.

Newborn puppies do not have rabies, this is because the rabies virus is not transmitted through childbirth, because the rabies virus does not spread vertically, so newborn puppies will never carry the virus.

And healthy cats and dogs are not contagious to rabies. This is the authoritative statement of the World Health Organization. If licking your puppy and not dying of rabies within 10 days, you will never be able to get rabies, please rest assured.
