Are there only two types of rabies?

Answer 1

Yes.

The two types are furious rabies and paralytic rabies.

In furious rabies, the animal starts being restless, then becomes highly excitable and will snap at anything in reach. Even humans with this type of rabies have been known to bite others. Eventually paralysis sets in. As paralysis begins to set in, salivation increases and swallowing becomes more difficult causing the well known sign of "foam around the mouth".

In paralytic rabies, the animal has minimal excitability and often remains relatively quiet and may even seem unaware of it's surroundings. The animal may become irritable and bite if handled. Paralytic rabies is especially common in cats.

Rabies is a viral infection of the central nervous system and attacks the brain. Without treatment, rabies is always fatal within just a few days.

Answer 2

It's probably the best-known of all animal diseases and--luckily for dog owners--now among the most rare in the Western world. But rabies is still a deadly and highly contagious disease, and it's only held in check by careful health practices, an aggressive vaccination program, and quick action when a case crosses over from the wild animal population to pets.

While rabies may be more rare among domestic dogs in the Western world, it is not rare. Rabies is still infects wild mammals regularly and is spread from animal-to-animal or animal-to-human most commonly through a bite. Vaccinations are available. For those who have not been vaccinated once rabies symptoms appear, there is little in the way of effective treatment and only a handful of those who have received treatment have survived.
