Rabies, which is usually transferred through a bite, is a viral infection that results in acute encephalitis. There are many signs that can identify an animal that is infected by rabies. These symptoms include: partial or total paralysis; excessive drooling; consumption of unusual substances, such as dirt or rocks; and disorientation.

How do you cure fox rabies?

Do you mean to cure a fox with rabies or a person infected with rabies from a fox? In either case, any rabies infection is essentially the same. The person or animal must be vaccinated promptly before any symptoms show. One symptoms appear the subject is almost guaranteed to die with a survival rate well below 1%. At this point, if it is the fox that is infected, then it should be euthanized. The only treatment known to be effective on people once symptomatic is the Milwaukee protocol, in which the patient is put in an induced coma with a carefully selected group of medicines. With this treatment the survival rate is between 10-20%. Survivors face a long recovery.
