If the skin is scratched by a one-month-old puppy, an injection is generally not required, because the transmission route of the rabies virus is through blood and saliva, that is, a bite, so if there is no bleeding from the scratch, you will not be infected with the rabies virus. Moreover, the puppies raised at home hardly carry rabies virus, so don’t worry, you just need to wash the wound repeatedly with soapy water, and then apply iodophor for disinfection.
