When can a rabies cat infect you. i heard it was only a couple of days. would it be obvious if the cat had it. and also can it be detected with an eye test?
Rabies is transmitted through the salvia. If a cat has rabies, he can infect you with it. If a person is bitten or scratched by a cat with rabies, they have the possibility of getting rabies. An animal with rabies can show several symptoms. It can be disoriented, dumb looking, vicious, tired, foaming at the mouth, and/or unable to swallow. The only way to check for rabies is to send the head of the animal off for brain biopsy. For humans there is no test. If you are bitten or scratched by a rabies animal, go get rabies shots immediately.

All dogs that bite someone are removed from that home and tested for rabies, which can take a few days. More often than not, if the rabies test is negative, the dog will be returned to the home.

Any animal with rabies will die. There is no treatment or cure. There is no way to test a live animal for rabies.

What are symptoms of rabies if you get bitten from a mice?
There is no test for rabies. You would have to take the shots for rabies if you thought that you did have rabies and would be concerned about the possibility. However, statistically, it is unlikely that you would have contracted rabies. The mouse would have had to have been bitten by an animal with rabies and survived the bite in order to become infected. If you have captured the mouse, you could take it to the local health department to be tested for rabies.
Can older dogs get Parvovirus?
as long as a dog is alive it can get Parvo. Get its shots including parvo to keep it from possibly getting it. I have had a few dogs we were caring for (that had been strays) die of it. It is the most tragic thing to watch. Get your dog it's shorts, the parvo and rabies shots aren't that expensive. Also, heartworm test and preventative is well worth the money.
