∙ 12y agoOnce infection occurs, the rabies virus grows in muscle tissue and may several days or months. During this period, the animal may appear healthy and show no signs of infection.
However within 1-3 months, the virus migrate to the animals nerve near the site of infection and this then spreads to the spinal cord and brain, for example the central nervous system.
The Virus then usually takes from 12 to 180 days to spread through the peripheral nerves (which resides or extends outside of the central nervous system. At this point, the disease progresses rapidly, and the animal begins to show the classic behavioral signs of rabies. The virus spreads to the saliva, tears, breast milk, and urine. The animal usually dies in 4 or 5 days.

Is Hydrophobia is the term of rabies?
No. Hydrophobia is one of the symptoms of rabies.
Which disease is associated with hydrophobia?
Hydrophobia is the old term for rabies. We prevent rabies before exposure with immunizations in high risk groups and after exposure with rabies immune globulin (basically antibodies against rabies) as well as with immunization. There is no treatment once symptoms of the disease start and it is considered universally fatal. There has been only one recorded case of a girl surviving after symptoms onset. She was treated at Johns Hopkins hospital in Baltimore with several weeks of in induced coma, neuroprotectant drugs and antivirals.
If a cat doesnt have symptoms of rabies yet but is in the incubation period can it spread rabies?
Only if that kitten was infected with rabies. (exception: if that kitten was a carrier of rabies, meaning it had it but didn't show symptoms of the disease.)
How many people have survived?
There is no cure for rabies once you start showing the symptoms. If you get rabies shots before you show symptoms but very soon after you get bit they can stop the rabies. There are 6 known cases of people surviving symtomatic rabies.
What are the symptoms that lets you know you have rabeis?
The first symptoms of rabies are flu-like symptoms. Other symptoms include paralysis, insomnia, anxiety, agitation, confusion, paranoia, terror, and hallucinations. People and animals with rabies may be afraid of water, or hydrophobic.

Can a person with the disease rabies control it by changing daily habits?

What are symptoms of rabies if you get bitten from a mice?
There is no test for rabies. You would have to take the shots for rabies if you thought that you did have rabies and would be concerned about the possibility. However, statistically, it is unlikely that you would have contracted rabies. The mouse would have had to have been bitten by an animal with rabies and survived the bite in order to become infected. If you have captured the mouse, you could take it to the local health department to be tested for rabies.
What virus which causes flu like symptoms can spread to the spinal cord and brain?
This Sounds like Rabies. Rabies Starts As a Flu like Symptoms. It Then Spreads to the Spinal Cord and Brain At THIS time it is almost always fatal.Meningitis.
