Do I have to put my dog down if she has rabies

how could i get vac. so I could inject my dog I'm scared to go to vet. because of the civid 19. Please Help with any advice.

If my dog has not received his rabies booster (and won't be due to health complications), are veterinarians still able to provide medical services? What about emergency services? Or would it jeopardize the vet's license.

Can I give injection at home I have phlebotomy training

My 2+ year old outdoor cat is due for his yearly Rabies vaccine, our vet cannot see him for 3 weeks. Will he be ok going outside since he will be overdue for his booster?

My cat was found in my house with a rabid (was sent and tested) bat on Sept 15, 2020. He was 11 months old (roughly he is a rescue) at the time and had his first rabies shot on Jan 21, 2020 at the rescue. I am unsure if he bit the bat or the bat bit him but he was revaccinated on Sept 19, 2020. We kept him in quarantine for 45 days after the exposure. My question is how long do I worry about him developing rabies? I’ve read they can still develop it up to a year later. I have a daughter who he has playfully bitten 12/21/20 and scratched 1/12/21. Could he transmit her rabies? This is becoming so consuming and worrisome to me I don’t know if I am overreacting. The cat appears healthy and fine. If he does scratch or bite and is still alive 10 days later are we safe from rabies?

Hello. I recently rescued a dog and we don't know if she's had her Rabies vaccine. She is 4 yrs old. Is there a way of knowing if she did? Would it be safe to give her one if she already had it? We don't know anything about her other than her age. Will her age run a higher risk of side effects? Thank you

My little yorkie got her rabies today. I'm a little worried about her. She has been throwing up and has some diarrhea as well. I know in the past she has definitely thrown up after shots. She sounds like she is breathing a little heavier than usual and kind of wheezy. She was running around and acting normal earlier. Now she just wants to lay around and is acting strange. I have her in bed with me now and keeping an eye on her. She is also shaking as well. Is this all normal?

What if a 1month old puppy without vaccination accidentally bites you while feeding them, it's like a scratch but the puppy was not showing signs that it has rabies and the puppy was not an stray dog, and the wound that happens was not deep, it bleeds super little just like it bleeds for just 2seconds and there was no mark that left on finger, And you wash it asap and pour some alcohol on it and it doesn't feel that it has wounds, does it has rabies?

How often do the dogs have to get shot for rabies

My five pound Cocapoo needs a rabies vaccination. He also needs vaccinated for a regular visit. Thank you,, Augusta Collins. 812-777-9169

This is a follow up question. You said the vaccine might not be on boarded in 3 days to protect him and transmission is possible. My understanding is once transmission is possible he is in a 10 day 'quarantine' window and will be dead within 10dys so I would know he transmitted to me. The vaccine would not stop the window would it?

There was a clerical error and my dog was out of date with rabies vaccine. He received the 1st shot good for a year on Thursday. He licked an open wound on my hand Sunday 3 days later. For sake of argument if he did have the rabies virus would the initial vaccine 3 days earlier prevent him from developing symptoms when he licked my wound? If so nothing to worry about. If not and he could have transmitted the virus to me the day he licked my wound could the vaccine prevent him from dying during the final 10 days and I not know he gave me the virus?
