Scratches from rabbits generally do not require a vaccination. Any mammal is capable of contracting rabies and can transmit rabies. However, the main transmitting animal is still the dog, which accounts for 99%, with a few being transmitted by cats, and domestic animals such as cows, sheep, pigs and donkeys. The reason that rabies vaccination is generally not required after being scratched by pets such as rabbits and rats at home is that the probability of these animals contracting rabies is low, and the probability of the infection then going on to infect people is also low. Although it can theoretically be transmitted, no cases of rabies transmission from rats and rabbits have been reported worldwide. Rabies vaccination is not required for scratches by domestic rabbits if there is no specific reason. After being scratched by a rabbit, it is recommended that the wound be washed with water and then the skin be cleaned with iodophor or alcohol.
