A member asked:

Her thin short was licked by her puppy in her crotch when she was asleep. could she get rabies?she had underwear also

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: You can't catch rabies from an animal unless it is also affected. Licking is unlikely to transmit the virus in any case. It would be a sad world indeed for pet owners if being licked put their owners in danger. House animals don't just carry rabies, but must acquire it (say, being bitten by a wild animal); most are immunized in any case.
