Is there rabies in dog saliva?

Question 1: Does the saliva of healthy dogs contain rabies virus? Yes Rabies is latent. Healthy dogs may also have rabies virus, so don't take any chances. It's best to have a vaccination. It's big when you play with it. The incubation period of rabies is as long as ten years, and you can't see it in a short time, and there is no treatment.

Question 2: Is there rabies in the saliva of ordinary dogs? Most dogs don't have rabies, and only a few mad dogs have rabies when they are sick.

Question 3: Can dog saliva exposed to the air infect rabies? Let's see.

To judge whether there is the possibility of spreading rabies after being bitten by cats and dogs, we should first look at whether these animals have rabies and the possibility. In the past general problems, it was almost impossible.

If you live in a large and medium-sized city, where there is no rabies, the animals at home are well cared for and healthy, and you have never been exposed to suspected rabies, or have been bitten, and the dog has been vaccinated, then you don't have to worry about the possibility of rabies at all. If the bite wound is deep or wide, you must go to the hospital and treat the wound by surgery. The dog can be observed in isolation for 10 days. If there is no rabies death, it can be completely alleviated.

If you are bitten by a suspicious dog or cat in a rural area with a high incidence of rabies or a county or epidemic area in the south, it should be regarded as a serious problem. You should see a doctor immediately, treat the wound, inject immunoglobulin, and get the whole rabies vaccine at the same time. The dog should not be executed immediately, but should be isolated and observed in a conditional veterinary unit 10 day. If there is no rabies death, you can rest assured. Otherwise, it may become a mystery in the future, fearing exposure, sending it to a conditional laboratory for rabies testing during the incubation period (frequently asked) or after execution.

Therefore, the isolation observation of suspected rabies animals 10 day is not only applicable to cities, but also to rural areas. The reason is the same.

Now many people ask questions, mostly because of ignorance of rabies transmission, or anxiety, hypochondriasis and hysteria caused by hesitant and suspicious personality. For example, some people encounter sick dogs in the street, and may be exposed to saliva pollutants from cats and dogs, and may be licked or slightly scratched, while animals have no rabies at all; Some people are imagining that there may be rabies, which is a very unrealistic guess. Some people were bitten by cats and dogs in the countryside more than a year ago, and no animals were found to be rabies. And animals live for a period of time (as long as it is 10 days) or stay healthy, you can't get rabies at all, so you don't have to consider vaccination or incubation period.

Only when you are bitten by a real rabies animal (just like the person bitten by that dog has rabies) should you consider the possibility of onset, incubation period and vaccination in the future.

Question 4: Can you get rabies by eating dog saliva? Theoretically, it can be eaten directly (contact with oral mucosa). But indirect contact, such as bowls and chopsticks licked by dogs, will not!

There is no precedent of indirect contact with dog saliva in human history. Because rabies virus is an anaerobic virus, its toxicity drops rapidly after exposure to air, and it dies within 135 seconds.

Question 5: Can you get rabies if you accidentally eat the dog's saliva? If a person is bitten by a dog, but his skin is not broken, he only needs to wash the bitten part with soapy water without rabies vaccine, but after the bitten part is broken, he should get rabies vaccine, because rabies virus will be infected from the blood after the skin is broken. Similarly, he accidentally ate the dog's saliva. As long as his mouth doesn't break or bleed, he won't get rabies, but if his mouth is inflamed or his mucous membrane doesn't bleed, he will easily get infected and cause rabies. If there is such a situation, you should go to the epidemic prevention station or hospital to find relevant doctors to carry out epidemic prevention in this regard.

Question 6: Can you get rabies by touching the dog's saliva? No, only when an open wound comes into contact with the saliva of a mad dog can you get rabies.

Question 7: Is there rabies virus in the saliva of healthy dogs? No, the saliva of a healthy dog is just its body fluid.

Question 8: Will rabies spread from dog to dog through saliva? The answer is yes, mutual plague and rabies virus can spread through saliva and blood, and the virus can survive in urine for a long time.

Dogs still need injections, and they are not afraid after they have immunity! ! If there is no vaccination, we must hurry!
