Yes, rabies can kill humans. Rabies, in humans, causes a fear of water = dehydration, it can also give you a high fever and massive headaches. If yo die from Rabies, it is hard to figure out what killed you, it takes multiple tests and dissections to rule out that the cause is rabies. It can be treated though. You will need to get 100 shots (I'm not kidding either) an average of 4 people die each year from rabies.
No. The transmission of rabies is through saliva. It requires a bite, or infected saliva entering an open wound, eye, or nose.
Yes they could get rabies cause the animal that they ate could have fleas or rabies on it bye last pray it killed
yes.... they start to hiss and perhaps even bite.
Not unless the dog had rabies or the bite was to a fatal spot, such as the neck. Also be aware that a dog bite to a cat can cause an internal infection. The bite may not fester or abcess on the skin, but the infection could become systemic internally. I know this as my beloved cat died this morning after being diagnosed by a veterinarian that a healed bite punctured her lung and introduced bacteria. If your cat loses weight, is not as playful, and more lethargic following a dog bite--even weeks after the fact, there may be an internal infection that is deadly without early treatment.
Consult a vet immediately and get their advice Do not let it scratch or bite anyone Keep it away from other animals
cat bite
Take the bus there and then have kids with it
A cat can get rabies from any animal with rabies, either by being bitten or saliva. even eating an animal that has rabies. WARNING: IF you have come into contact with any animal that has rabies even before it was showing "signs" please please please go to your doctor and let them know so you don't die or transmit it to anyone else. Most warmblooded mammals that are not vaccinated, including cats, bats, skunks and ferrets, can contract rabies. Like dogs, cats should be vaccinated regularly according to local laws.
Only if the cat had just licked it's paw. Rabies is transmitted through the saliva. I'm pretty sure the skin has to be broken, though. But be careful!! You could get cat scratch disease from it. Oh and keep in mind that the cat must have rabies to transfer it. It will be foaming from the mouth and be acting very hostile towards you.
You need to make sure the cat had its rabies and distemper shots. These are the two you need to worry about. True possums live in Australia, a country free of rabies. So, if your cat in Australia is bitten by a possum, the most it will need is a checkup by the vet to clean up bites and scratches that can easily become infected. Australian possums do not carry diseases, but they are known carriers of ticks, and your cat will need to be checked that it has not picked up any ticks.
A nursing mother cat cannot get a rabies shot or any type of vaccine in particular. Vaccines contain live components that can cross the placenta and may cause defects or even death in the fetus.
