Do domestic puppies have rabies virus, do dogs in general have rabies virus

It is possible for a domestic puppy to carry the rabies virus. However, if a domestic dog has not been in contact with other animals, then it can usually be assumed that it does not carry the rabies virus. In addition, puppies can carry the rabies virus if they are not vaccinated against rabies in time after three months.

It is advisable to vaccinate puppies regularly to prevent rabies.

Please note that rabies is a fatal acute disease that poses a significant threat to both humans and animals, so it is important to take precautions promptly. If you have any concerns or concerns, it is advisable to consult a medical professional or veterinarian.

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.

Hello in reply, domestic dogs can also have rabies. Normally, rabies virus is parasitic in the wild in the original host animal, but it can be transmitted to an intermediate host such as a domestic dog, which can carry the rabies virus.

Ask your dog what it would look like if he had rabies.

1. Unconsciousness.

If a dog has rabies, their routine will change. The dog's appetite is reduced or abolished, the desire to drink is significantly increased, the dog drinks wildly, walks deviated or stiff, or turns in circles, walks out of the house and does not recognize the home, wanders around aimlessly, and is unconscious.

Second, the temperament has changed greatly.

Because dogs nowadays have been domesticated, most of their personalities are relatively docile. But if you find that your dog, which was originally docile, suddenly becomes irritable, and his spirit has become very excited, he actively attacks people and other animals when he is not provoked, his consciousness is disordered, and his laryngeal muscles are paralyzed. Then you have to pay attention, this is most likely infected with the rabies virus.

3. The mouth is not closed.

When the dog has rabies, its jaw will also sag, the dog's saliva will increase, breathing will be accelerated and even difficult, and the dog's barking will become hoarse. After this condition, the dog will become more and more severe, and may have general paralysis, difficulty walking until death!

4. Fear of light and water.

There are also dogs with rabies, they are very afraid of light and water, they will shiver when they hear the sound of water, and they often like to hide in the shadows and not come out, and after a day or two, they will be excited.

5. Self-harm.

If they have wounds on their bodies, they will rub the wounds with their teeth and claws, and some will rub their mouths and faces with objects around them, which is a feeling of self-harm that makes matters worse.

Not necessarily, domestic dogs are generally vaccinated, but it is better to be careful.

A bunch of dogs don't have rabies.

Those who have not been vaccinated may have them.

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 definitely not 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 does not spread through childbirth, because the rabies virus does not spread vertically, so the 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.
