    Need. Dogs are the main source of rabies infection, but they are not the only ones, in addition to dogs, cats, mice, rabbits, wolves, squirrels, foxes, raccoons, etc. However, human mortality from contact with foxes, raccoons, skunks, jackals, mongooses, and other carnivorous wild hosts is extremely rare.

    Of course, for rabbits, herbivores, the probability of contracting rabies itself is very low, so the probability of transmission is also very low. According to a national epidemiological survey of human rabies, 91% of the 711 cases observed in areas with high rabies incidence in China were attacked by dogs.

    If a rabbit bites a child, it is generally not necessary to inject because rabies transmission is not obviously considered. Rabbits belong to the order of rabbits, and it is generally not believed that it can cause rabies transmission, because in nature, rabbits rarely carry rabies virus, and there are no cases of rabbits transmitting rabies to humans. After the rabbit bites the child, it is necessary to look at the severity of the wound, if the wound is relatively shallow, it can be disinfected or bandaged, if it is deep, it needs to be cleaned, and even debridement and suturing are required, then it is necessary to go to the hospital for treatment.

    If the bite is particularly deep, even tetanus antitoxin or tetanus immune globulin may be injected. Therefore, after a rabbit bites a child, although rabies vaccination is not required, it may be necessary to have a tetanus antitoxin because the wound is relatively deep.

    There is no need to vaccinate if you are bitten by a rabbit. Rabbits are rodents, whether they are domestic rabbits or hares, they are not the hosts of rabies virus and do not carry rabies virus. A rabbit bite does not require a rabies vaccine.

    Large-scale testing of wild and domesticated rodents by the World Health Organization (WHO) has shown that rabies infection is rare.

    The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also noted that no evidence of rabies caused by unformed animals has been found. After being bitten by a rabbit, the wound can be debrided to avoid infection. If the wound is too large or too deep, tetanus prophylaxis is needed.

    Introduction:

    In 2004, the first report of the WHO Expert Consultation on Rabies, which contained guidelines on rabies post-exposure prophylaxis, clearly stated that specific anti-rabies post-exposure prophylaxis was rarely required after exposure to rabbits and hares. That said, rabies vaccination is usually not required after a rabbit bite.

    Based on the data and research I have collected over the years, I believe that the above views of the WHO are also applicable to China. The risk of rabies transmission in rabbits is small, especially if bitten by rabbits in non-endemic areas, and the likelihood of developing rabies is extremely small. In fact, to date, there has not been a single case of rabies in the world, including in China, with conclusive evidence of rabies caused by rabbit bites.

    If you are bitten by a rabbit, you do not need to be vaccinated, and if the wound is deep, you need to have tetanus.

    In reality, rabbits have very little chance of contracting rabies, and even less chance of transmitting rabies to humans. Therefore, whether it is the official recommendation of the World Health Organization or the guidelines of China in 2016, it is believed that rabbits, rats and other animal bites do not need to be vaccinated against rabies.

    After being bitten by a rabbit, the wound needs to be immediately rinsed with soap and water, and the soapy water rinse time is at least 30 minutes or more, and then the wound can be disinfected and debrided. The bite of any animal, if the wound is deep, can be infected with tetanus, and tetanus immunoglobulin is required.

    Rabbits need to be noted:

    Rabbits have a very thick coat and their sweat glands are not very developed, so they emit very little heat on their own. Therefore, rabbits are very resistant to cold, but they are never suitable for growing in a relatively humid and hot environment. Especially in the hot and sultry summer, if the temperature is not well controlled, then the rabbit is very susceptible to illness, and in severe cases, it will lead to death.

    Therefore, we should pay attention to control the temperature, the appropriate temperature for raising rabbits is generally about 20 degrees, if the temperature is too high, then it will lead to a decrease in the amount of rabbit food, thereby malnutrition, reduce production capacity, etc.

    Rabbits are very easy to grow during growth, and they are also very poor in disease resistance. If it is diseased, it will have a very big impact on the growth of rabbits. Especially in places that are too humid, it is easy to produce various microorganisms and bacteria.

    Therefore, we should pay attention to controlling the humidity of the cage and pay attention to drinking water. The water in the sink should not be too full, it is easy to spill out if it is too full, pay attention to keep the rabbit house clean and hygienic, and the cage should not be too wet to ensure the healthy growth of the rabbit.

    Rabies vaccine is required to be bitten by rabbits, and the rabies virus generally exists in the salivary glands of animals.

    All warm-blooded animals such as horses, pigs, rats, rabbits, cats and wild animals should be vaccinated against rabies in time, because all warm-blooded animals can be infected with rabies. Additional rabies immune globulin is required when exposure is reached. Rabies virus has central nervous toxicity, and is characterized by clinical manifestations such as acute encephalitis, hydrophobia, photophobia, dysphagia, and mania, and the case fatality rate is as high as 100%.

    Being bitten by a rabbit requires an injection.

    Out of love for pets. We usually like to have pets in our lives, such as cats, dogs, and rabbits as good life companions for people.

    In the usual contact with pets, it is sometimes inevitable to be scratched or bitten by them. When we are bitten by pets, we should be vaccinated against rabies in time, which can effectively prevent the onset of the disease.

    The following points should be noted when using the rabies vaccine:

    Treat the wound properly. Proper wound management is the key to preventing the onset of the disease, and the sooner the better.

    It is best to get the help of a doctor, of course, you can also deal with it yourself, the method is to squeeze the wound and bleed, rinse the wound repeatedly with strong soapy water, then rinse with plenty of water, dry it and cauterize the wound with 5% iodine wine to remove or kill the rabies virus that contaminates the wound.

    As long as the large vessels are not injured, bandaging or suturing is generally not necessary. If available, rabies serum and tetanus antimycin may be injected around the wound.

    Get a rabies vaccine as soon as possible. Rabies vaccination should be given as soon as possible after an animal bite, the sooner the better.

    The best time to get the first shot of the vaccine is within 48 hours of the bite. The specific injection time is as follows: 1 (2 ml) vaccine is injected intramuscularly on the first day"0"Refers to the day on which the first vial is injected (and so on).

    If you are unable to get vaccinated in time due to many factors, you should do so"Early injections are better than late injections, and late injections are better than no injections"The principle of using rabies vaccine.

    Animal bites from suspected rabies virus infection should also be vaccinated. Animals can transmit the rabies virus to each other due to fighting and biting each other, so humans can also be infected with rabies after being bitten.

    Therefore, for the sake of insurance, all those who are bitten by dogs or other animals must be treated as rabies bites and injected with rabies vaccine in time.

    No, you don't!

    There have never been cases of rabies infection from rabbit bites. The first rabbit has no chance to be bitten by other mad animals (if it is really bitten by a mad dog and a mad wolf, it will be torn apart at the time, and it will not survive to infect people), and the second rabbit (through artificial infection of the virus in a laboratory environment) If it is really sick, it is paralyzed, unable to scratch and bite, and usually dies within 4 days.

    A child bitten by a rabbit does not need a rabies vaccine, but a severe bite requires tetanus antitoxin or immune globulin.

    Although mammals are theoretically at risk of contracting and transmitting rabies, in reality rabbits are rarely infected with the rabies virus, and there have been no reported cases of rabies infection from rabbits scratched or bitten worldwide. Therefore, professional medical guidelines, including the World Health Organization, believe that rodents, especially small rodents, such as chipmunks, squirrels, mice, rats, guinea pigs, gerbils, hamsters, etc., as well as rabbits, hares and other rabbits, have a low risk of rabies infection and generally do not need to be vaccinated against rabies.

    If you are bitten by a rabbit, you do not need to be vaccinated. Vaccines are generally not given after being bitten by rabbits, because the disease commonly transmitted by rabbits is tularemia, on the one hand, there is currently no vaccine for tularemia, and on the other hand, rabbit-borne tularemia is mainly transmitted through arthropod bloodsuckers such as ticks and lice, or aerosols, droplets, etc. Bite is not the main route of transmission, so the chance of contracting tularemia through bites is relatively small, and there is currently no vaccine to be injected, so there is no need for vaccination.

    Pet Keeping ConsiderationsWhen keeping pets, it is recommended that breeders buy healthy pets from regular channels, which can make it live longer, and pets with diseases may not survive for too long, which can easily cause harm to the breeder. Pets usually accompany the keeper for a long time, and the long-lived turtle can even accompany the keeper for decades, which is a long process, and the keeper should not abandon the pet because of the three-minute heat, which is a harm to it.

    Pay attention to its safety, get vaccinated in time, clean your home frequently, and feed the food that needs to be clean and hygienic. In order for it to grow happily, the keeper also needs to interact with it.
