Rabies

No, rabies is one of the oldest diseases known and recorded by man (first recording thought to have been 4000 years ago and man didn't know about viruses 4000 years ago!)

People bitten by healthy, immunized animals are unlikely to need post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP).

Man to man spread is very rare with rabies. Never the less, one case is reported in 1984 in with the child with rabies had bitten his father. Child died and after few days the father also died of rabies.

today i gave rabies shot to my 3mth old puppy but i m not sure that it went 100% can i give one more shot of rabies vaccine.....

Louis Pasteur discovered the preventive treatment for rabies in 1885.

It would be hardly likely. You must get bitten. Very few cases have been cause by less than a bite. If bitten by an animal, washing the wound with soap and water for 10 to 15 minutes
and contacting a healthcare provider to determine if post-exposure prophylaxis is required.

If you had your dog vaccinated against rabies - and you should have - it does not have rabies.

If not, and you really suspect that, close it into a room and call animal control. That is a serious situation, and you must turn it over to them. There is no cure; once the dog has contracted it, it will have to be destroyed - that is the law.

They're not. Newest treatment is 4 shots in the arm or butt over two weeks.

Some people are afraid to seek treatment for rabies exposure because they've read or heard about 23 painful shots in the stomach. That is not true anymore.

"Post-exposure" treatment is called for after a bite or lick from a suspected rabid animal. Since the 1980s, in the United States, it has consisted of a series of only five fairly painless shots in the arm. A shot of specific anti-rabies globulin is also administered in the buttocks once at the start of treatment.

Normally not. But to be on safer side, she should be given three shots of rabies vaccine on day 0, 7, and 28.

It is said to be hydro (water) phobic (fearful of) because rabies prevents the animal from swallowing. This behavior makes it look like it is fearful but it will try to drink and can not even though it needs the water. Fluid naturally made by the mouth can not be swallowed and it will drool.

Absolutely not.

There is no rabies in Australia, and platypuses are found only in Australia.

Furthermore, although it is believed that any warm blooded mammal can get rabies, platypuses' body temperatures are too low to harbour rabies. They have an average body temperature of 32 degrees Celsius, compared to most mammals' body temperature of 37-38 degrees Celsius.

Yes. The virus is killed by bleach of enough strength. Bleach does not work with organic material.

They would be a carrier.

Yes; it is very unlikely, but any cat can carry rabies. Your kitten may have become infected if his mother became infected before he was born, or if he was bitten by an infected animal after he was born.

It is unlikely. Rabies is caught by the transfer of bodily fluids, and if an infected cat bites you, you may get rabies from his saliva. In order to catch rabies from a cat scratch, the cat must have bodily fluids on his claws, which is unlikely unless his feet are bleeding for some reason. If a cat gets into a fight with a rabid cat, and then scratches you when you try to separate them, it is possible that the rabid cat's blood can get into the scratch.

If the animal is infected with the rabies virus, yes, a person can get rabies. The animal should be placed in quarantine and the person may have to undergo a series of rabies shots.

you can only get rabies if the dog penetraes your skin by biting you unless the dog has tampled in its saliva recenttly, so the answer is most likely no

Yes. Rabies can be transmitted by such means. So always get the pet dog vaccinated for rabies. In developing countries, where stray dogs are abundant around, government should give anti-rabies vaccine to all kids. It is recommended that vaccine should be given 6 months or 1 year onwards. First dose one day one next on day 28 and booster after one year. Then every five years. (Child do not walk till 12 months and mothers immunity wanes by six months.)

no ppl who eat dogs will not get rabies i blve if someone eat dog get rabies because no one cant eat dog oh my god

No. Only mammals can carry rabies.

zoonoses are a group of diseases that are naturally transmitted from animals to man. They are over 200 in number and the list is increasing. MAD DOG DISEASE CALLED RABIES, PIG BORN BRAIN FEVER, GOAT BORN BRUCELLOSIS, SHEEP BORN Q FEVER, BIRD FLU. SWINE FLU, PLAGUE ARE FEW EXAMPLES. There is very little awareness among doctors and public about these diseases . These diseases have to be controlled in the veterinary profession and treated in medical profession.

1. the objective of zoonoses day is to create awareness among all sectors.

2. lt was on 6th July the first global vaccine against rabies was administered

to a 9 year old boy bitten by a mad dog by Louis Pasteur. To organize free rabies vaccination to dogs.

3. it was Louis Pasteur who made this vaccine.

I just got my dogs shots updated the other day and the vet said that its not uncommon to not give dogs a rabies vaccine. The only reason this is allowed is if you ar living in a non rural area that hasn't had many reports or outbreaks of rabies. However, it is always best to check with your vet.

The bite of a mad dog can cause Rabies (or Hydrophobia) followed by death.
