The dog's claws are scratched and there is blood

Dogs with scratched paws that are bleeding are generally not infected with rabies virus, because rabies virus is transmitted through saliva and blood. There is no rabies virus on the dog’s paws, and the dogs raised at home are relatively healthy, so you only need to Just clean the wound in time and apply alcohol or iodine for disinfection. If you are scratched by a stray dog, it is best to go to the hospital for vaccination.
