A member asked:

Can you get rabies from animal;that is not droolin, is not aggressive and is lying in water? my dad got bit by that kind of dog, any chance of rabies

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes...: Just because a dog hasn't started to demonstrate symptoms of rabies does not mean that they are not infected. Your dad should seek medical care - his physician (possibly along with local health department) will determine if there is a need for rabies vaccination. He should not delay seeking this care. If the dog is known, it should be quarantined for observation for 10 days.
