Answer 1

bring the rat to a vet to have it tested for rabbis and maybe u'll have to bring in ur dog to be quarantined but if ur dog didnt bite threw the skin it should be ok anyway

Answer 2

your pug with have rat babbies.....i have have seen it before. im so sorry

Answer 3

Take her in to the vet, and have her vaccines done - a quick rabies shot will protect her, and you can discuss if there might be others that would be appropriate, as well.  Leptospirosis might be one to repeat, as well.

Answer 4

Well, take her to the vet.

Answer 5

The dog bit the rat not visa versa..I doubt your dog got rabies. I would assume your dog has had a rabies shot anyway so if she was bit, she should be fine..It might be a little gross and traumatic for the rat, but thats what dogs do..They chase and catch things..Dont worry..

Answer 6

rats with rabies are extremely rare calm down nao

Answer 7

If she's up to date on all her shots, she should be just fine. Might want to take her to the vet though, just in case.

Also, dogs don't have periods. They don't have a menstrual cycle. If you didn't know that, I suggest you have her spayed.

Answer 8

wait did the dog bite the rat or did the rat bite the dog??????

I don't think a dog can get rabies from biting a rabid animal tho.

Answer 9

Well, your dog should be UTD on everything and if that's the case then you have nothing to worry about.  If you haven't vaccinated your dog then guess what... You just put her life in jeopardy because you were irresponsible.

Oh, and get her spayed!  She doesn't have her "period", she is in HEAT.

Answer 10

keep a look out for any changes in her behavior.  is she up to date on her rabies shots? have you called a vet? of course foaming at the mouth is a clear sign that something is wrong, but definitely call a vet.

Answer 11

The dog should have shots

Rabies is transmitted if the rat bit her. No blood on her, she is fine.

Get her her shots anyway

Answer 12

Rabies is transmitted through the saliva of an effected animal. Biting the animal shouldnt do anything. Take your dog to the vet just to be safe. He could have picked up something from the rats blood.
