Rabies is an animal infectious disease, and many animals such as wolves, foxes, dogs and cats may suffer from it. However, cats and dogs are most closely related to human beings. More than 90% of human rabies is transmitted by dogs, followed by cats. The saliva of mad dogs or other crazy animals already contains a lot of viruses. When biting, the virus in saliva will pollute the wound and invade the human body to cause infection, which is the most common way for people to suffer from rabies. But rabies is not only caused by dog bites, rabies virus can also cause infection through mucous membranes. If the child licks the anus after defecation, although there is no bite, if the dog's saliva contains virus, the child can get rabies. A farmer accidentally cut his finger while skinning a mad dog and died of rabies afterwards. In addition, rabies virus can survive in dead animals for a long time. Therefore, you must never skin a mad dog, let alone eat meat, let alone sell it in the market. You must burn it or dig a hole to bury it deep to avoid being bitten by other animals.
Do pet cats and dogs that have been injected with rabies vaccine need to be injected with rabies vaccine if they are bitten or scratched?
A: Yes, because it can only protect cats and dogs from getting sick, but it may still carry viruses.
