Does a US service dog entering Taiwan need to be quarantined or can it accompany its owner into the country with valid rabies shot documentation?

Taiwan has adopted policies similar to those of the European Union. An animal being imported from a rabies infected country, such as the United States, must not only have a rabies certificate, but must also be microchipped and have a rabies titer. It usually takes about six months of preparation for the titer and other paperwork to be able to import an animal from a rabies infected country to a rabies-free country (like Taiwan) without quarantine. Failure to have all the paperwork in order before arrival can result in lengthy and expensive quarantines, refusal of entry to the animal, or euthanasia.

Will a dog get sick if he has 2 rabies shots within a year?

No he should not, as it is a very safe and killed vaccine. He could probably be vaccinated for Rabies many many times in one year and have no reaction. Don't worry, better to be safe and know he has his Rabies vaccine than not.

How long after rabid animal bite before a human dies?

The time frame usually cited is ten days from exposure.

However, this is not something to procrastinate about; it's far better to get the treatment and not need it than to wait until symptoms develop, because in all of history, despite medical care, fewer than ten people have survived rabies once the symptoms become apparent. (In one study, the best currently known treatment had a survival rate of under ten percent, and brain damage is a distinct possibility even for those who do survive.)

In contrast, post-exposure prophylaxis (the usual "treatment" for cases where rabies exposure MAY have occurred) is 100% effective if begun immediately, but the effectiveness declines with the length of time since exposure.

Well, rabies goes straight to the brain then downwards through body. Though it does also go by the name of hydrophobia resulting in the painfulness of swallowing water or anything due to the swollen throat muscles and thus the victim fearing even the site of water. Hypersensitivity to touch and other stimulations are another symptom. High levels of aggressiveness, resulting in combativeness, inability to rationalize and extreme agitation. Weakness, lethargy, paralyzation, respitory failure, loss of appetite, delusions, hallucinations, confusion, seizures and death.

Is it normal for small dogs to have reactions to rabie and distemper shots?

Any size dog can have a reaction to vaccines. It is rare to see it with a Rabies vaccine as that is a killed vaccine. With the DHLP/Parvo vaccine sometimes, but rarely, the dog will react to the Lepto part of this combination vaccine, Distemper, Hepatitis, Lepto, Parainfluenza & Parvo. If your pet had a true reaction such as swelling up within 5-10 minutes of receiving the vaccination, then just leave out the lepto part of the vaccine the next time your pet is due for the next vaccination. Just ask your Vet about this or if you give your own vaccinations, get a vaccine without the lepto in it.

Can a cat get and infect to people rabies if they have a rabies shotAsk us anything?

If a cat has a rabies shot after it has already become infected with rabies, the shot will be ineffective and the cat can infect people despite having been vaccinated.

If the cat receives its rabies shot while it is healthy, and if the shot is effective (which it is nearly all the time), then the cat cannot catch rabies and cannot infect a human. However, a very small number of rabies shots (about one in 100,000) is not effective. Note that the rabies vaccine can lose effectiveness if it is mishandled.

In almost all cases, if the original shot is ineffective, the booster shot corrects it.

Do you need rabies shots after bitten by a pet like dog?

If you are in a country with rabies, it would be far safer to get the injections after you are bitten by a dog, especially a dog whose vaccination status is unknown, a particularly aggressive dog, or a stray dog.

The rabies incubation period is 1 - 3 months, therefore a dog can be infected with rabies (and infect you), without showing ANY external clinical signs of being infected with rabies. Chances are, during this incubation period, the virus will NOT have entered the saliva glands. It is only after the dog is affected with neurological signs that the virus tends to be excreted in the dogs saliva. However, this is not a risk worth taking.

I would, of course, consult as quickly as possible with your local doctor if you have been bitten for the best advice.

What will you do your dog has diarrhea and vomits after having anti rabies vaccine?

You should contact your veterinarian immediately to let him/her know that your dog had a reaction to the rabies vaccine. This way, the next time your dog needs to be vaccinated, your vet will know to watch the dog for 24 hours after vaccinating to ensure your dog doesn't have a more severe reaction. There are some pets that develop allergies against vaccines and they can no longer be vaccinated - your dog may be one of them.

Can a chinchilla give you rabies?

The answer is yes, but the likelihood is extremely low. Any warm blooded animal can potentially contract the rabies virus from another warm blooded animal. A Chinchilla stays inside and is most likely caged. If it was outside and a rabid animal bit it it would probably die from its wounds. The only possibility would come from a rabid bat entering the home and coming in direct contact with the pet. I would say you have much better odds of being hit on the crapper by meteorite while talking on the phone with Osama.

Can people be carriers of rabies and not know?

Generally speaking, no. Humans infected with the rabies virus may take up to several months before becoming symptomatic, but rabies is always symptomatic in humans. Moreover, humans do not appear to be able to transmit rabies, except in the very unusual case of a human in the active stage of the disease biting something else. That is, there is no passive transmission possible.

In fact, all species (except possibly bats, but even that is uncertain) will always develop an active case of rabies once infected. The onset time varies, as does the speed of death, but the disease is not transmittable during its non-active stage.

Did you ever manage to go collect the rabies vaccine for me?
