A little skin scratched by a pet dog is not significantly less likely to get rabies than a non-domestic dog. The rabies virus enters the body through the mucous membranes on the surface of the body or through a break in the surface of the skin, eventually causing the injured person to have a rabies attack. When a person is scratched by a dog, there is still a break in the skin, even if there is no visible bleeding. Although a pet dog receives regular rabies vaccinations, it is not possible to determine whether it carries the virus, simply because there are fewer bacteria on the paws than dogs in the wild, and there will be less infection at the wound after a scratch. The injured person can first rinse the wound repeatedly with plenty of water and soapy water, and preferably go to the hospital for rabies vaccination within 24 hours. In daily life, pet dog owners should also pay attention to their dogs’ hygiene and health issues.
