If dogs have rabies shots do they still have to be quarinteened if biten by raccoon?
shots dont do any good it depends on what animal there bitten by some could be more infected than others and rabies and poisonus snakes and spiders is why i think dogs should be in the house most of the time
How did the animal that bit the dog get rabies in the first place?
Well,sometimes the animal's as a raccoon are born with it its a disease out in the wild -apv (:
The cat is foaming from being exposed to the gaseous spray from the skunk (sort of like if you had been sprayed in the face with mustard gas), foaming and drooling from the mouth, as well as watery eyes and nose are some side affects a sprayed victim is going to exhibit. This is how the body naturally responds in trying to get rid of/wash away the skunk spray. If an animal or person had been infected by rabies they would not instantly show symptoms of the infection (this only happens in movies such as, "Twenty Eight Days Later"). It usually takes 20 to 60 days for the infected victim to show the classic rabies symptoms; such as violent behavior, foaming of the mouth (due to painful swallowing and the inability to drink water), excessive physical sensitivity (sight, sound, touch), etc... In order for the victim to have the rabies virus it would have had to have been bitten by the infected animal or been sprayed in the eyes, mouth, or open wound by the virus infested saliva. Of corse two of the main urban area carries of rabies are usually skunks and raccoons, so unless you live on a rabies free island it would be best to make sure that all of your outdoor pets are up to date on all of their shots (even a cow can become infected with rabies).
Maybe at one point, the virus which causes Rabies could affect more than mammals. But it could of evolved and mutated causing it to specifically adapt to mammals. In the past: Perhaps, In the Future: Perhaps, In the Present: No.
I hope I helped.
Do wild baby rabbits have rabies?
It would be highly unlikely. Rabies is not a disease an animal is born with. It is transmitted from one animal to another, usually through a bite. It is just as deadly to them as it is to us.
Can you get rabies from breathing bat feces?
No, you cannot get rabies from breathing bat feces. Rabies is primarily transmitted through bites from an infected animal, as the virus is present in their saliva. While bat droppings can carry other diseases, the rabies virus does not spread through feces or through the air. It's important to handle bat droppings with caution due to the potential risk of other pathogens.
Can the rabies vaccine cause your dog to run a fever?
Yes, any vaccination can cause a mild temp in any animal. If the temp persists (longer than a day or so) and is over 3 degrees above your animals normal temp, take it back to the Vet.
Do cat rabies shots make cats moody and aggressive?

The answer depends on the risk factors for exposure and how long the vaccine to be used provides protection against the disease. Some vaccines are effective for a year while others are effective for 3 years.
How can you tell if a gerbil has rabies?
Gerbils are born in captivity. They are then kept in a cage. There is never an opportunity for them to contract rabies.
Can rabies be trasmitted through a scab?

Do adult dogs need rabies shot?
It all depends on where or who you got it from. If you got it as a puppy from a friend or family member, call them and ask them if they ever got the dog their rabie shot as a puppy. If you found it, or you adopted it from the pound or found it near your home, it would be safe to take the dog to get a shot just to be safe.
How does the doctor or nurse know you have rabies?
Patient may come to you with difficulty in swallowing. He may have tingling and numbness at the site of dog bite. Shortly afterwards he gets hydrophobia. By seeing the water, he gets severe spasm in throat. Such spasm can be induced later on with the sound or even mention of water.
What is more likely to get rabies a possum or a fox?
Neither, if the animals are in Australia or New Zealand, where there is no rabies.
Most possum species are found only in Australia and nearby countries. The possum is a completely different animal to the opossum, even though the term "possum" is often used in reference to opossums. Australia and New Zealand do not have rabies, so therefore it is quite safe to say that possums and foxes from either of these two countries cannot have rabies.
As for North America: whilst it is believed that any warm blooded mammal can get rabies, opossums' body temperatures are too low to harbour rabies. However, the fox could certainly get rabies.
No they don't. Only mammals can contract rabies. Birds, fish, reptiles, and amphibians (frogs and others) don't get rabies.
No, it can`t. The virus is transmitted with saliva into blood. The only domestic birds who can get rabies are hens bitten by rabid foxes. And anyway it happens very very rare.
