What are the chances of getting rabies from a rabbit scratch?

The chances of getting rabies from being scratched by a rabbit are small, but you need to treat the wound in time and get a rabies vaccination if necessary. Rabies is an acute infectious disease caused by the rabies virus, for which there is currently no effective treatment, and is most commonly seen in bites from cats, dogs and other animals. The probability of rabbit spreading rabies virus is very small in the clinic. After being scratched, the wound should be treated in time, and can be washed repeatedly with soap and water, and then sterilized with iodophor to prevent bacterial infection, and it is recommended to inject rabies vaccine if it is scratched by wild rabbits. After being infected with rabies virus, people can have symptoms such as fear of water, irritability, convulsions, etc., which is lethal. Therefore, after being bitten by an animal, it is recommended to inject rabies vaccine within 24 hours as a precautionary measure, and if the wound is more serious, rabies immune globulin is also required to be injected.
