Will a wound on a dog smell worst after its been cleaned with water?
No, but you should clean it with an anti-bacterial soap and water, and treat it with an antiseptic, same as you would a wound on yourself. If you are noticing a bad odor, it is likely the wound has become infected. I recommend taking it into a vet, or at least calling a vet and describing your dog's wound and smell. This is free if you are not brimming with finances at the moment.

If a dog has rabies how might it be transferred from the dog to us?
If the dog bites us or if the dogs saliva makes contact with any part of your body where there is an open wound, the rabies infection can get contracted to our body. If the dogs saliva touches your skin where you dont have a wound or a bruise, in most probabilities if you wash it with a good disinfectant soap you should be safe.
