When an animal gets rabies it will most likely go through three stages, the prodomal stage, the excitative stage, and the paralytic stage. The prodomal stage is active for a one to three day period of time, the animal may experience various symptoms from a fever to refusing to eat. The exitative stage is when the animal is hypereactive and will bite at anything that is near it, lasts from three to four days. The paralytic stage is when the animal gets paralized in the rear limbs or drools and has trouble swallowing due to paralysis of the facial muscles. Then the animal usually dies because of respiritory arrest.
