Hello there....., Rabies is spread from an infected animal when the virus from its saliva enters the victim’s nervous system through a bite, scratch, or lick on open skin or mucous membranes .. dogs, cats, only shed the rabies virus in their saliva for a short period of time usually 4 to 5 days before they develop symptoms. If the animal has not developed symptoms by the tenth day after the exposure then the animal would not have been shedding the virus at the time of the exposure....observe the dog for 10 Days....
