Well, obviously, worst case scenario is that you develop rabies and die. Probably a little less serious is that you develop a wound infection and possibly have to have a part of your body amputated.
Going on down the line of less serious would be that you have a little scar and a bad memory...
Seriously, though, if you are bitten by a dog that potentially has rabies, you should be seen immediately and evaluated. If the dog is yours, or someone you know owns the dog, you may need nothing more than to have the dog watched for a couple weeks. If all is well, and the dog remains healthy, you are probably safe from having rabies. If the dog is a stray and cannot be found to be tested, you need to have rabies immune globulin and start the rabies vaccination series. Go sooner, rather than later. Rabies will kill you if the full disease develops.
Mad dogs (rabies) were shot.
Rabies is a completely different disease from Distemper. Please read the related source links below for more details.
It can. Opossums can carry Rabies. If your dog was bitten by any wild animal, it should receive a Rabies booster shot.
If the dog's vaccinations are current, then there is no recorded case of a human contracting the rabies virus from the dog. But, a booster shot is recommended.
The rabies vaccine is the only injection legally required for dogs in many jurisdictions.
Yes. That is true for all the developed countries.
Well it depends on if the owner of that dog has taken it to the vet to have his rabies shot to protect him from it! You should ask the dogs owner!
THEY WOULD NEED A RABIES SHOT AND A COUPLE CONTROL SHOTS Type your answer here...
Go to the Vet (you normally go to) but first call and book a shot for the dogs once they get the shot it'll be good
Sometimes a Rabies shot will, being I believe gets injected into the muscle instead of sub q
sg
it depends o if the dog has rabies if it does have rabies than you need to get a shot for the rabies as soon as possible if it doesnt have rabies than just put ice on it and if its swollen the swellness should go down after a little while hope this helped
