Do rabbits have rabies virus?

2023-07-07 20:03:44 170

Generally, rabbits do not carry or be infected with rabies virus. Rabies is mainly transmitted to other animals and humans through the bite or saliva of an infected animal (usually a wild animal such as a fox, raccoon, bat, etc.).


Although rabbits themselves rarely develop rabies, there is still some risk if they are bitten by an infected animal or exposed to an environment that may be contaminated with the virus. Therefore, if you suspect that your rabbit may have been exposed to a rabid animal, it is recommended to consult a veterinarian for evaluation and appropriate preventive measures as needed. Remember, timely vaccination is the best way to effectively prevent rabies.
