Yes, horses can become infected with rabies. This is why your horse should be vaccinated against rabies every year, since your horse can become infected with and die from rabies.
Rabies is passed by bodily fluid contact from an infected animal to another warm blooded animal. Any animal that is infected with Rabies could pass it on to your dog if it is bit or scratched. This is why it is so important to have your dog vaccinated against Rabies. You should get the first vaccine at 4 months of age then booster in one year, then every 3 years thereafter. Check with your Veterinarian about this too.
There is no cure for rabies in an animal. The animal must be destroyed (killed).
Animals get rabies by being bitten by another animal that has rabies.
Any mammal can have rabies, but no animal inhenerntly has it. A wild animal that contracts rabies will die within a few weeks.
No. Rabies is caused by the rabies virus (it is therfore an infection), which is carried in the saliva of an infected animal. To become infected an animal needs to be bitten by an infected animal.
a dog can get rabies by another animal that has rabies biting him.
Rabies is a parasite) organism,"bug" that infiltrates the blood stream from an animal bite from an infected animal or even contact with saliva from an infected animal. Rabies attacks brain tissue and destroys the "synapse" between nerves in the brain. Untreated it is usually always fatal.
if you get bitten by a dog with rabies you might get them
Rabies virus is found in the saliva of an infected animal. A bite will transmit it. It is passed from one animal to another this way.
I would Definitely NOT eat a chicken that has been bitten by an animal with rabies. Unless you want rabies, too.
What you do is go to any animal shelter and ask your question.
