Does the puppy have rabies virus

Because the rabies virus will not spread vertically, the newborn puppy will never carry the virus. The dog will get rabies in about 15 days, and the longest is 6 months (rarely), so the probability of that puppy getting rabies is very small, almost zero. And healthy cats and dogs will not be infected with rabies. This is the authoritative statement of the World Health Organization.

Rabies is an acute infectious disease caused by rabies virus, which is common in carnivores such as dogs, wolves and cats. People are infected by being bitten by sick animals. The clinical manifestations are peculiar fear of water, wind, pharyngeal muscle spasm and progressive paralysis.

Rabies virus belongs to rabies virus genus of Rhabdoviridae. Animals spread viruses by biting each other.

Rabies is mainly transmitted by dogs in China. There is still a lack of effective means for rabies. People suffering from rabies are basically hopeless, and patients generally die of respiratory or circulatory failure within 3 ~ 6 days.

We must strengthen prevention and give rabies vaccine to dogs regularly.
