Pennsylvania vet warns against cleaning rabies wounds

A Pennsylvania veterinarian has noted that cleaning a pet’s bite wound inflicted by an unfamiliar animal before taking the pet to the veterinarian is a bad idea “because rabies is transmitted by saliva so there is the possibility there could be saliva in the wound and you could infect yourself. Leave it alone and bring your dog straight to a veterinarian.” NBC.com
