Licks to wounds, grazes, broken skin, or to the lining of the mouth and nose, can also transmit the virus. Dogs are responsible for up to 99% of human rabies cases, however the virus can be transmitted from the bite of any rabid animal. Let's discuss your problem in detail for better advice and medication plan.
