Common Triggers
A bite or scratch from a dog, often a stray or unfamiliar animal. Bacteria from the dog’s mouth and the skin can enter the wound, and rabies can be passed on through saliva.

Typical Symptoms

- Pain, swelling and bruising
- Fever or swollen glands if infected
- Redness, warmth or pus a day or two later
