It's merely saliva, coming from the agitated salivary glands. So, a technical description might be "rabies salivary foam" or something, but really, the foam is just foam.

How do you tell if a raccoon is rabid?
All Raccoons carry rabies in their feces (poo), but not all of them are actually infected with the disease and not all that have the disease are foaming at the mouth. So, if a Raccoon is acting strangely, back away slowly and call your local "Animal Hospital." All raccoons do not carry rabies, this is complete myth. You can suspect rabies if a raccoon seems unafraid of humans, is stumbling around, maybe walking in circles, or even falling over having seizures. They may be foaming at the mouth, or out in the daytime, but not all animals with rabies foam at the mouth, and not every raccoon you see in the daylight has rabies. Your best bet is to call your local wildlife control or even your local police station, and report your sighting, they will know who to call for the problem. Never try to approach a wild animal. Do not call an animal hospital, they have nothing to do with rabid wildlife
What to give a dog after a rabies shot?
If a dog actually has rabies, there is nothing you can do for it. You need to call the pound as soon as possible before he transfers the virus to people or other animals. A dog with rabies is incredibly dangerous. There is a rabies vaccine, but if a dog does not have the vaccine and catches the virus, there is no cure at that point.
How do you know if a cat has rabies?
When you own a dog you should keep the rabies shots up. I do believe that in the U.S. this shot is given every year whereas in Canada one shot lasts three years. If your dog isn't left to roam and you've had the dog at home with you for sometime then it's highly unlikely you have rabies. However, if worried, please take your dog to the vets so a test can be done for rabies. You can only get rabies if a dog with rabies bites you. Signs of rabies in a dog are: * Acting strange, with tail between legs (if long tailed.) * Growling * Hyper * Afraid of everything including people * Doesn't like loud noises and will become frantic and may bite the first person they see. * Foaming at the mouth * Attacking other animals or humans

How can you tell if a stray animal has rabies?
Rabies is a viral infection that affects the nervous system of mammals. The virus resides in the brain and is shed through the saliva of an infected animal. Any mammal (animal with hair; other characteristics are warm-blooded, vertebrate, and females have milk producing glands for their babies) is capable of contracting and carrying rabies. There are some mammals that are at a higher risk than others, such as raccoons, skunks, stray cats and dogs, foxes, coyotes, and bats. There are traditional symptoms of the last stages of rabies, such as foaming at the mouth, fear of water, biting behavior etc...but those symptoms do not always appear OR a rabid animal might not be at that stage yet. If you see an animal that is acting strangely, such as a raccoon that is out in broad daylight or a skunk that doesn't have any fear of people, it's a good idea to stay away from the animal and also get to a phone and call your local animal control officer. If you see any mammal that appears to be hurt, injured, orphaned etc...it's always good to air on the side of caution. As hard as it is, it's best to leave the animal and call animal control or a wildlife rehabilitator (a simple internet search can help you find wildlife rehabilitators that are in your area.)
