How Do I Know That My Puppy Is Infected By Rabies?

It is required by law to have dogs vaccinated for rabies.  This is a serious, fatal disease that can affect humans.  Once a dog is infected with rabies it will progress through a series of stages and end with death.  This typically occurs within 10 days of exposure.  It is highly unlikely that your dog has rabies but until it is vaccinated has the potential to contract this disease.  In most communities there are low cost vaccine clinics or shelters that will vaccinate pets. 
Biting is an unacceptable behavior and you need to be proactive and take steps to stop this.  Tell the puppy "no bites" give it an appropriate toy then leave it alone.  Too much negative attention can become a game and will not help.  Reprimand once and do not continue to give more attention.  Other method is to make biting uncomfortable for the puppy.  Place your thumb under the tongue and hold the lower jaw for 10 seconds.  Do not hurt this puppy just make it uncomfortable and the biting behavior will stop.

You don't have to worry about your puppy because your puppy don't have rabies.  If your puppy had rabbies then he would be very aggressive.  He would be scared of water.  You will see he won't drink any water and there would be white foam coming out of his mouth and within three to four weeks he would be dead even sooner.  If any animal with rabies scratch or bite you then you need to get to a doctor immediately because after a period of 4 days then nobody can do anything for you but you don't have to worry about your puppy.  You must take the puppy for vaccination and puppies got worms and because they always lick and bite you then you can get them to so you must have the puppy de-wormed and at the pharmacy you can by pills for the whole family to drink so you don't get the worms.
