Can a normal dog carry rabies virus?

Generally, normal dogs rarely carry rabies virus, especially dogs that rarely go out to contact other animals. Rabies virus has a high mortality rate after infection and generally lurks in animals.

As long as the owner vaccinates the dog regularly, the dog will generally not be infected with rabies virus. Mainly because rabies virus can exist in dogs' teeth or saliva, rabies vaccine should be inoculated immediately after being bitten by dogs to avoid rabies virus infection.

But you can't rule out that you don't carry rabies virus, because carrying rabies virus doesn't necessarily lead to disease. I suggest you give your dog a regular check-up. The time to inject rabies vaccine can be after being bitten by a dog or under normal circumstances, but there may be side effects after injection, so you can rest more, pay attention to diet and relieve symptoms.
