Hello
I want to tell you that your daughter is on risk , as due to post exposure .
But your grand baby is not at risk because rabies don't spread through touching , inhalation because saliva , however contains rabies virus but person can't get rabies until and unless these virus don't ENTER into blood ,so you didn't worry about that.
I myself came into contact with so many patients having hydrophobia and even I tried to treat rabies patients , so I can assure you that your grand baby is not at risk .
But once thing I want to tell you that take full post exposure course anti rabies vaccination for your daughter.
Good luck.
