A friend got scratched by an Alaskan, but the dog got a rabies shot, does he still need the serum?

So many immunization stations make you take a bunch of shots to make money! I'm telling you it's really not necessary! If you're not sure, you can get a vaccine, not a protein shot! You can get a tetanus shot that doesn't matter! I work in a pet store. If you get bitten or scratched, rinse with water and apply iodized povine! Don't wrap it! It'll be fine by the third day! Don't make such a big deal out of it, really!

Don't want to say much, hit !!!!

My dog has been vaccinated regularly every year, and so has the dog at the other door. These two dogs are naturally hostile, a meeting a relaxation of vigilance, the two dogs must start fighting, both parents often have been scratched and bitten, but each other understand each other's dogs, injured, parents at most look at each other with a smile, and never went to the vaccine. Both sides of the dog are eight or nine years old, eight or nine years between the dog is healthy, people are fine.

However, friends were bitten, people do not really understand your dog, coupled with public opinion demonized dog bite rabies, inner fear is inevitable. Therefore, as a friend, to eliminate his inner fear, just say no, only fight. My dog not long ago at a friend's party, because my friend was drunk on alcohol to hold it, I guess the dog that this person is not in the normal human condition, out of self-defense bit him, for which, although we explained the dog is very healthy, do not have to be anxious, but at the same time, also immediately sent him to the vaccination center to play the vaccine. My friend knows in his heart: I know, this fight is not to prevent rabies, but to heal the heart.

If you have the money to do it, it must be safer in theory! In reality, the serum is in advance of the vaccine's time of action! But according to the weight to play the price is not cheap! According to foreign experts say is bitten by the dog first shot on the first vaccine to observe the dog if in a week did not die other can give up! I personally feel that the serum should be divided into circumstances, such as the bite of the deep, or bite the important part of the precautionary or serum, the other general circumstances of the vaccine on the line!

Thanks for the invitation to answer! First of all, it is important to recognize that the chances of a healthy, active domestic dog in normal condition carrying the rabies virus are very small, especially if it is regularly vaccinated. Some people worry that the vaccine will not work because of the weather, and some owners are skeptical about the effectiveness of the rabies vaccine (there is a certain risk of vaccine failure), and are suspicious of their dog's bites and scratches, which makes them feel uneasy. In fact, there is no need.

However, the death rate of rabies is extremely high, coupled with the current propaganda on rabies are demonized, it is easy to cause people's psychological panic. Even the rumor that "healthy dogs also carry rabies virus", to understand rabies, first of all, we must take a scientific attitude to objectively understand the disease.

Dr. Ruprecht, Chief of the Rabies Section of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), had been in the process of dividing up healthy dogs from the appearance of Nigerian infected areas in the

away to the rabies virus, but he argues, "In endemic areas with a high prevalence of dog rabies, it is theoretically possible that dogs in a 'virulent state' may exist. Although the healthy carriage of virus in dogs is academically disputed, it is related to the persistence of rabies, pre

Prevention and control have little to do with it." A joint study by the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) Institute for Infectious Disease Prevention and Control, along with the U.S. CDC, Guizhou CDC, and the University of Georgia, concluded that no

The study, published recently in Vector-Borne and Zoonotic Diseases (Vector-Borne and Zoonotic Diseases), confirms that healthy dogs can transmit rabies virus. The study was recently published in the journal Vector-Borne and Zoonotic

Diseases) journal.

A doctor in charge of the Beijing Center for Disease Control answered a reader's question in Health News saying that you can get rabies from a bite from a healthy dog. Oxford, England.

MaryWarrell, an expert on rabies at the university, said of this "All the evidence, except for China, suggests that's very rare."

Rabies infects dogs with an incubation period of 3-20 days (rabies-infected dogs develop the disease quickly, or in less than 10 days. What 1 year, 5 years is pure rumor). Even if the dog is really in the incubation period, by the incubation period of the dog did not develop a bite scratch is not infected with rabies. So you don't have to get vaccinated. But if you still don't feel comfortable, then you may want to get vaccinated, I got vaccinated back in the day when I was scratched by my family's poodle, firstly, because I'm in constant contact with animals and often have a lot of scratches on my body; and secondly, to let go of the knot in my own mind.

The human rabies vaccine is different from the canine rabies vaccine. The canine rabies vaccine is a weakened vaccine, while the human rabies vaccine is a freeze-dried vaccine. Human rabies vaccine should be injected on the first day of the month, the third day, the seventh day, the fourteenth day and the twenty-eighth day of the month in the order of five injections to complete a three-year effective immunization. I hope the above answer can help you. The human rabies vaccine can be given at the local vaccination center.

Although infection is unlikely, because rabies has a 100% fatality rate, the slightest possibility of not getting infected should not be relaxed.

Fighting this puts everyone at ease mentally!
