                        YES!  Even though no actual bite occurred, it is still possible for the virus to be transmitted.  If the dog had licked its paws a short time before the scratch occurred, the virus would have been injected into the nerves of the skin.  Consult your family physician/pediatrician for his/her medical opinion on any necessary treatment.
