There is no single shot of rabies vaccination. Three shots of preventive vaccination are given on day 0, 7, 28. Alternately on day 0,28 and after six months. But I will advice to go for five does of anti-rabies vaccine, even if you are protected. The sixth shot may not be taken. But you will take it out of immense fear generated by people around you. Your physician will be forced to give you that shot. You can go for it.
yes
I would Definitely NOT eat a chicken that has been bitten by an animal with rabies. Unless you want rabies, too.
A buzzard won't eat any animal that died of Rabies!
Rabies is fairly uncommon on groundhogs but it has happened and Is definitely possible. Almost any mammal can get rabies. Animals like mice, rats, squirrels and groundhogs, are not very common to get rabies but can and does happen. Dogs, cats, foxes, cows and other mammals can all get rabies but birds fish and snakes can not.
No. Contact with the dead animal is necessary, usually with its saliva. (And, of course, the animal has to have been already infected with rabies. Contact with a non-infected dead animal will not give you rabies.)
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.
