Any animal with rabies will die. There is no treatment or cure. There is no way to test a live animal for rabies. Rabies is an extremely contagious and dangerous virus that will also kill people-if you suspect an animal is rabid,do not handle it. Call your local animal control to come and get it. Rabies has a wide range of symptoms-from extreme aggression to near catatonia. Make sure your dog is vaccinated and you will not have to worry.

Dogs (and other animals) become diagnosed with rabies when they come in contact with other animals with the same issue. Rabies is a virus of the brain, causing the animal to act abnormally than he/she usually does.

If your pet has been in an area where a "rabie go-er" has, then see medical attention with a vet as soon as possible!

Rabies is a serious viral disease seen in mammals that adversely affects the central nervous system,which leads to death. Rabies is a zoonotic disease that is typically transmitted through bites from infected animals. The majority of reported cases involve wild animals like bats, raccoons and skunks, but domesticated animals like dogs and cats are also at risk. Humans are equally susceptible to the rabies virus if bitten by an infected animal. Once the symptoms have appeared, Rabies is nearly always fatal. Death usually occurs less than a week after the onset of signs.

I don't THINK so, but humans can if they don't get 12 shots in the stomach. Rabies I THINK might cause some infections in the dogs body, but I might be TOTALLY wrong so I hope I helped.
