Should my dog go to the vet??

Take it to the vet??
C'mon.....dogs eat shit.

Any animal including us can get rabies, all it takes is a bite from an or an animal biting an infected animal . However rabbits are less likely to tranmit it because whatever has it will pretty much kill it easily, as you witnessed.

The most common rabies carriers are dogs,(including foxes,yotes,and wolves) Raccoons,skunks including others in the same family(ferrets,weasels ect),cats, and Possums.I think the reason bats don't carry as much is because most of the bats that are not near south america eat insects or fruit. it is when you hit closer to south america you have to worry because of the vampire bats. that is probably the entire 1% spaz was talking about,all vampire bats.

Glad to hear the dog is doing good so far, hope he continues to do so. Buy him a chew toy to wear him out.Those Jack Russels can be a handfull.

The only thing I would be worried about with the rabbits is the GI parasites they can pass in their stool to your dogs.

Not only that but fleas and ticks,nasty little blood suckers. more likely fleas because they can just jump from one host to another, literaly.
