Rabies dies in 2minutes when in contact with air?


I'm guessing this is true since i've called about it because my dog killed an animal with rabies. But did anyone know that the virus died within 2 minutes within contact with air? I sure as hell didn't. Also why after a rabies vaccine, if your dog is exposed to the virus he has to get another shot? Isn't that the point of the 1st shot?

hope this helps you and also yes! it is very good to have your dog up to date on its rabie vaccines !!
The after contact shot is just a precautionary one esp if your dog rabie vaccine was close to running out !

As far as the virus dieing in the air 2' mins after exposure I've never hear of that and im a vol animal rescuer !!

That's bull..there is only one animal on earth that kills in 2 minutes..that's the South American bush master snake ..period....all others take 24-48 HOURS
