No. We test animals for rabies if they act uncharacteristically. For many wild animals, biting humans is an uncharacteristic behavior. The test for rabies requires removing the brain. This kills the test subject and so cannot be used on babies.

When can a rabies cat infect you. i heard it was only a couple of days. would it be obvious if the cat had it. and also can it be detected with an eye test?
Rabies is transmitted through the salvia. If a cat has rabies, he can infect you with it. If a person is bitten or scratched by a cat with rabies, they have the possibility of getting rabies. An animal with rabies can show several symptoms. It can be disoriented, dumb looking, vicious, tired, foaming at the mouth, and/or unable to swallow. The only way to check for rabies is to send the head of the animal off for brain biopsy. For humans there is no test. If you are bitten or scratched by a rabies animal, go get rabies shots immediately.
How do vet check for rabies on dog?
The only available test to determine for sure if a dog has rabies is to send the brain to a lab for testing.
Why are vaccinations important for pets?
First, you need to specify what vaccine? For example if you are referring for example to Rabies Vaccine, treated with Rabies vaccine well in advance of an encounter with a rabid (or possibly rabid, or rabies carrying) animal renders the dog virtually immune to rabies as long as the vaccinations are kept up to date. If your dog encounters a skunk (which may or may not be rabid, but can carry rabies), or gets into a fight with another dog (which may or may not be rabid) the vaccine effectively eliminates the need to worry whether the dog has become infected by rabies, which would eventually drive the dog to madness, out of character aggression, and then death. Likewise, in many municipalities, if your dog were to bite someone, proof that it has had its rabies vaccinations up to date will prevent the need to kill your dog to find out if it WAS rabid. Generally there are two ways to identify a rabid dog once suspected. 1 - isolate it an watch for it to go mad and die, or 2 - test the brain tissue of the dog, which generally involves decapitation (removal of the dog's head), which in the case of a dog biting someone else, regardless of the circumstances, generally means the dog will be killed and tested, not simply observed without vaccinations.
Why is the tuberculosis vaccine not routinely offered to patients?
There isn't a vaccine for TB. There's a TB test. And I agree, patients should be tested. Permission has to be given by the patients to conduct the test.
