Can a normal dog get rabies virus, and how can a dog get rabies virus

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.

1. Dogs are born without poison, and there is no need to suspect that all dogs have rabies virus!

2. The rabies virus in dogs is transmitted by other animals in the onset stage of rabies, including sick dogs, wolves, foxes, cats, bats, etc.

3. Only dogs are infected with rabies virus through fighting and biting with animals, and generally will not be infected with rabies virus.

4. To sum up, under normal circumstances, the probability of domestic dogs getting rabies is very small. However, the relative probability of free-range breeding is higher.

5. Remind everyone that regardless of whether the biting dog is healthy or not, you must get the rabies vaccine in time after being bitten, and you can check the rabies antibody to ensure 100% safety.

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.
