Domestic pomalion dog causes rabies through touches the shoes by his nails? if i am received full vaccination course of anti rabies vaccine last month
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rabies from a dog is: not caused by the nails touching your shoes. the saliva is the carrier, so a bite that breaks the skin or comes in contact to an open sore, would be cause for worry.
