I threw out old water, that possibly has rabid salvia in it. i put fresh water in it. if my vaccinated dog laps up the rabies virus, and nudged me in the lips 30 minutes later, can i indirectly get rabies? i think the virus would still be in the bowl?

: No indirect transmission of rabies virus to human as the way you described. Transmission of virus requires direct contact with rabid animal.
