Rabies

no you cannot but if he bites you then yes

The anti rabies vaccines for humans is long lasting. It appears as if it will last for a lifetime. As a precaution, if bit by a suspect rabid animal, a course of treatment should still be followed.

It may be that those animals bodies just dont provide the right environment for it to express and carry out its life cycle.

In the matter of birds, it could screw up their metabolisms rapidly enough that they die before exhibiting any outward signs. Since they tend to burn a lot of energy, the addition of the rabies virus might simply starve them to death in short order.

Also they might just be immune by virtue of incompatible cellular metabolism.

It will not do an good. Confine the dog for two weeks. It they are rabid, you'll know it.

No, but it is possible for them to have it, especially if they get bit by a rabid animal like a dog, fox, cat, coyote, bat, raccoon, etc. Most horses are not vaccinated for rabies unless there's been known cases of rabid animals around the area.

The vaccine was developed in 1885 by Louis Pasteur

Typically, the rabies vaccine your vet gives to your cat/dog/other animal lasts one year the first time given, and the following rabies shot is usually for three years. Your vet probably sends out reminders to get pets vaccinated, but if your animal gets bitten by a raccoon/skunk/something known to have rabies, you can always take it in to get a booster shot to prevent any chance of your pet getting rabies.

In most cases, untreated rabies is fatal; but if an animal is treated in the early stage of the disease then they can recover. Some animals can be carriers of the disease and not become sick themselves but can spread the disease to others.

Any bat can be infected with rabies, but most bats are not infected.

Like all mammals, bats can become infected with the rabies virus, but only a small portion of animals are infected. In the North and South America, the most common cause of rabies in humans over the past twenty years is believed to be from bats.

Animals infected with rabies act irregularly and may be uncharacteristically aggressive. Most rabies cases are transmitted from a rabid animal to humans through a bite, however, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has evidence to suggest some cases have been caused by exposure to airborne particles from bats, these cases seem limited to individuals entering caves with high bat populations.

SAFeTY NOTE: Never hand a wild animal. Seek immediate medical attention for all animal bites. Rabies is virtually always lethal in humans unless treated immediately. If possible to do so safely, collect any animal that has attacked a human to have it tested for the rabies virus. If available, contact animal control to collect the animal. 0.05 bats have rabies.Just to let you know

ADDITION: Doctors become concerned with bat bites not because bats commonly get rabies (they don't, as the above answer states) but because bat bites are so minor that people will a) ignore them, since there is not enough damage to go into the hospital for, or b) not realize there's a bite in the first place.

Rats very commonly eat the skin of sole of the sleeping person. It is extremely rare to get rabies from rat bite.

As far as I know...it's good to take precautions.

I think it attacks the brain & nervous system. I'm not sure.

It is because of the high amount of saliva and tears produced after the latter stages of the disease and the inability to speak this will probably lead to hydrophobia though the chances of getting it depends on the person oneself.

Yes, everything that is a mammal can get rabies.

Any living mammal is capable of being infected by rabies, including humans. A very small percentage of the human population has been vaccinated to protect against rabies infection, so they are at much lower risk. This population includes animal control officers, veterinarians and others who have a high exposure risk profession.

Yes! A rabid animal would mean that is has rabies

if not immediately treated, the person is not expected to live for more than a couple days of contracting rabies. it is almost always fatal if not treated.

Play a Barry Mannilow album outside. They just can't stand it, it's like a fox's kryptonite.

The common cold, rabies, and AIDS are all caused by different types of viral infection.

Well first you get bitten and then you have spastic outbursts and become afraid of water and then you spwy white stuff and then you die.

Rabies shots should be given in deltoids or triceps muscle. Vaccine must never be given in hip region. You may give the vaccine in fatty tissue, making it useless. Alternately the vaccine may be given, as intra-dermal injections, as about 8 doses of 0.1 ml, on day zero, to achieve rapid increase in antibody titre.

Age is no bar for rabies vaccination. Normally the child walks out of the home by one year of age. The vaccine is recommended in country like India, where stray dogs are free on the road. But the opinion may vary between the experts.
