you should first go to the hospital to get it confirmed and if you have been bitten they can treat you by giving you around 30 shots in your stomach
Yes, rabies causes dimensia and confusion. In most cases of rabies that the disease lasts long enough the victim starts to loose there mind due to fever and its likely they can get violent as do the animals that are always violent when infected
How many people die of rabies every year?
There is definite statistic for this but less than 5,000 people a year.
According to the CDC website only one or two people die each year in the USA of rabies. It is usually because they were unaware they were exposed. Most animals in the US that carry rabies are wild. i.e racoons, foxes and bats. Domestic dogs and cats hardly ever have rabies.
Can a tetanus shot prevent rabies?
No...a tetanus shot will not prevent rabies. Tetanus is a bacterial infection spread by manure and soil entering a cut. Rabies is a virus. It is spread by blood or saliva from an infected animal. There are rabies prevention vaccines for people if you work in a high risk environment.
How do vet check for rabies on dog?
The only available test to determine for sure if a dog has rabies is to send the brain to a lab for testing.
Could a dog born in the middle of the nineteenth century have had a rabies immunization?
The rabies vaccine wasn't discovered/invented until 1885, so the answer would be "no" if asking whether it was available in the mid-1800's.
Your dog had a rabies shot in its hip and is sore to touch today is this normal?
Very normal. It should be fine by tomorrow. Yes, just as when we receive a shot in our hip. Hurts just as bad for them too.
Clinical name for rabies vaccine in dogs?
Since there is more than one type of vaccine, there is more than one clinical name for rabies vaccines in dogs. These include Rabvac, Defensor, Rabdomun, Prorab and Imrab.
What animals do not contract rabies?
Rabies is a disease that affects mammals. Non mammals such as reptiles, birds, fish, insects etc. do not contract rabies.
Core vaccines for all horses in the US include: Eastern and Western Equine Encephalitis, Tetanus, Rabies and West Nile Virus. These vaccines are recommended generally once a year though in some areas WNV vaccines are boostered every 6 months. All other vaccines are considered risk-based and recommended based upon the horse's age, use and management (stabling situation). For example, Strangles is not recommended simply for boarding situations. That vaccine carries more risk than other vaccines and is only recommended for horses in high risk situations such as breeding stables.
You should ALWAYS contact your veterinarian to discuss your specific situation and determine what vaccinations are appropriate for your horse. Core vaccinations (just vaccinations, not the exam or Coggins test) will average around $100-125. If risk based vaccinations are administered, the price will increase as will the yearly cost if boosters of risk-based or core vaccinations are recommended.
How do you tell if a 4 month old pug puppy has rabies?
Your veterinarian can test for this. If you are concerned make an appointment and have the puppy checked.
A vet cannot test for rabies until after the animal is deceased, then a test is performed on the brain of the animal for conformation of the virus. If rabies is suspected the animal is quarentined and watched over a period of timed for signs of progression of the disease. If the animal appears to be fine he/she is released from quarentine, if rabies is apparent, he/she is put down and then as I said before the test for conformation is performed on the brain. The only way your puppy could have rabies is if he was bitten by another animal with the disease, and most breeders and pet stores give the first round of puppy shots, which should have included his CRV (rabies) you would have just needed to get him his adult shot at 12 weeks. Rabies has 3 stages, though the dog may or may not show all 3. The first sign is a change in behavior, and he may have a fever. He will eventually get very angry, restless, and irritable, and then later have salvitary issues (hence the foaming of the mouth), trouble swollowing, labored breathing, and paralyzed face muscles and eventually go into respitory failure. I worked for a vet and we had a lot of concerned people about rabies, but I've never seen a case. Vaccinate your pet.
What is the failure rate in rabies vaccines?
Seems to me no one knows the answer to this question. Even the CDC doesn't go into detail on this question. I'm starting to smell "The Emperor wears no clothes effect." It would be easy to test. Simply give someone the rabies vaccine shots, then inject them with rabies. It will either work or not.... Every city should randomly do the testing themselves. It would be inexpensive and easy to do. I have a hunch there would be a significant failure rate. Don't believe me ask a pathologist. I did. I even asked many vets and doctors. Everyone of them told me there is no known amount of vaccine which creates immunity. In other words, the effectiveness is unproven and yet, it's hyped to us as a proven science.....
Take your shots!
Apparently dumb rabies is simply one form of rabies, also known as paralytic rabies, and according to the online dictionary, is "... marked by sluggishness and by early paralysis especially of the muscles of jaw and throat ..." as compared with furious rabies, which is the more visibly agitated form of the disease.

Why is there no cure for rabies?
These is only a vaccine for prevention. Once in the central nervous system, there is nothing we can do to stop it. The immune system doesn't have enough time to mount an attack. A few cases have been reported in which a person was put into an induced coma for along time. 1-2 came out of it OK.
