Rabies Question?


I was reading this paragraph on rabies. I guess you could say it sparked my interest.
So I was wondering, Say a person gets bit by an animal(only by the animals reflex), this said person then keeps the animal for examination, to make sure it doesn't get rabid or act comatose. They examine said animal for 10 days, and nothing changes in the animals behavior(not acting rabid nor comatose). Does this mean its in the all-clear for the person, and the animal is also clear to not be object to having rabies?

they dont "examine" it for ten days - they "watch" it.. simply put - an animal who had rabies at that stage would be dead by 10 days...

Rabies itself is very slow moving you can get bit in the arm but not be affected for some time - however once you (or an animal) becomes affected (and starts biting/spreading the diease) they dont live long.

yes after a 10 day hold and the animal showing no signs - the animal gets the "all clear"

Yeah, I'm pretty sure on both counts - but it's always the right thing to do to immediately get checked out after an animal bite. You pass a point of no return with rabies - if you wait too long, there's nothing they can do.
