can a vaccinated dog still acquire rabies? my friend has a lab around 20 mths old and he got bitten by it on his tummy. he said the dog didnt eat his food so he took it because there are now ants all over it. the dog snarled and tried to bite his arm. so he put the food down and scolded the dog. then he patted the dog and the dog complied. but when he started moving towards the door his dog leapt and bit him.
he was wearing a shirt but the tooth sank through. he said he felt the tooth but there was no apparent break through the skin. no blood came out, he said maybe it was just a scratch. he said he didnt want to go see the doctor for nothing because it would be a waste of money if he wasnt infected.
