How to judge whether to vaccinate rabies? It is best to vaccinate against rabies if bitten by a dog.
Check whether the dog is vaccinated
If the dog has been vaccinated, it can greatly reduce the risk of infection, but it cannot be 100% guaranteed not to be infected. Because animal immunity failure or incubation period must be considered.
Depending on the severity of the wound
Wounds are generally divided into three levels: first-level exposure, the skin is intact and there is no injury and no treatment is required. Secondary exposure, skin damage without bleeding, requires wound treatment and vaccination. Level three exposure, accompanied by bleeding or licking of broken skin, requires wound treatment and injection of passive immune preparations, followed by vaccination.
Adopt the ten-day observation method
If you find it troublesome, you can also adopt the "ten-day observation method" to vaccinate. The ten-day observation method is to observe the animal's performance within ten days while administering the vaccine. There is no morbidity or death. If there is no death, the rabies vaccine after ten days does not need to be given again. It is best to get vaccinated in time
Cats and dogs that are not sick do not mean that they are not contagious. Some wild dogs carry rabies virus and become natural hosts for the virus, but do not get sick. Random articles
