If there is no bleeding when scratching the surface of a dog's teeth, can he get rabies?

No bleeding when scratching the epidermis with dog teeth

No bleeding when scraping the epidermis with dog teeth does not mean that the skin is not damaged. You can wipe it with alcohol to check. If there is pain, it means the skin is damaged and should be disinfected immediately; wash the wound with soap and water for 20 Minutes or more, and then repeatedly apply iodine and medicinal alcohol to disinfect 2-3 times. If it is a domestic dog, has been vaccinated on time, and is in good health, there is no need to worry.
