Rabies can be prevented by vaccinating pets ( dogs, cats, rabbits, and ferrets) and educating people. If people would only understand that death is almost always the outcome, fewer people would get this disease. Do not handle wild animals or strays. Contact an animal control officer upon observing a wild animal or a stray. Beside pets, people can be vaccinated, too. This especially true for people who live in areas where the number of rabies cases is high. People who work with bats should be vaccinated as well.

How is Rabies Cured?
Rabies cannot be cured. It may only be prevented via vaccinations. If a human is bitten by a suspected rabies animal, the vaccination must be administered within 2 hours of the bite so as to produce inhibitory antibodies against the rabies virus. But once a person is infected with rabies, they will be dead within 2 weeks. Rabies has a 100% death rate in non-vaccinated individuals unfortunately...
Where is rabies not found?
Currently there are only three places rabies is not found: the Antarctic, the United Kingdom and Australia. The Antarctic is free of rabies because there are no competent mammalian hosts for the disease. The UK and Australia are free of rabies because they are island nations that have aggressively prevented any animal that could be infected with rabies from getting into the country. This is an on-going and expensive preventive measure, but it is much cheaper than dealing with rabies in the wildlife population.
How do you know if your dog have raibes?
...Do you mean; How do you know if your dog has rabies? If so, you would have to bring it to a vet to get it tested in order to know for sure, but foaming at the mouth is a big indicator that they may have rabies. Also a significant mood change, if they get angry and aren't usually angry, then they could have rabies. Be careful!! People can get rabies from animals!! Happens a lot, but can be prevented! Bring your dog to a vet and get it tested so you aren't hurt. ((Rabies is very deadly if not taken care of!)
