Do dogs have to exhibit signs of rabies before they can give rabies to someone?
No. Rabies is a tricky disease. Sometimes it can be transmitted right away, and sometimes it lays dormant. However, just like a cold, if a dog has it, the dog can transmit, sometimes sooner, and sometimes later. If your dog contracts rabies, it will most likely be able to transmit within the week. Fortunately, rabies is only transmitted if a fluid exchange takes place, such as an animal bite or the animal licking an open wound. Unfortunately, there is no cure, and the animal will most likely have to be put down for relief of suffering and the safety of all in the animal's life.

What animals can give a person rabies?
As rabies is a virus, any mammal can technically have and/or carry rabies. Certain species such as opossums, which have too low a body temperature to harbour the virus, are extremely low risk. The hyena is immune to it, but can still carry it.
Birds, insects, amphibians and reptiles cannot carry the virus. High risk carriers are mammals of the Carnivora group, e.g. cats and their relatives, dogs and their relatives, bears, otters, skunks, weasels, badgers, and raccoons, and bats.
As a general rule, smaller rodents can carry the virus but they are low risk carriers. According to the weblink below, "In North America rabies occurs primarily in skunks, raccoons, foxes and bats. In some areas these wild animals infect domestic cats, dogs, and livestock."
In countries which are completely free of rabies, such as Australia and New Zealand, the virus is no threat at all. There is currently no chance of contracting rabies from any animal in these countries.

Will rabies make you aggressive?
Rabies can cause a delirium (confusional episode) which may include disorientation, agitated behaviors, hallucinations (usually visual), along with physical manifestations. Therefore, yes, rabies can precipitate aggressive behaviors.
Animals with rabies often have an aggressive phase. Humans may experience alternating times of mania and lethargy among many other symptoms, as the disease begins to affect the central nervous system.
Note that once the central nervous system symptoms become severe, death is usually unavoidable and rapid.

Why warm blooded animals are affected by rabies?
Rabies is, as you could guess, a paricularly horrible disease. The scientific word for rabies is hydrophobia, or the fear of water. When the case is found in humans, they first fear the sight of water, including their own spit and worse. As the conditions worsen, the person/animal loses all of their appetite. They start to halucinate terrible things after this. Death folows soon after. The cases in humans are found from animal, (mostly dog,) bites.
What are some common reaction to rabies vaccine in horses?
As in most pets (and most people), horses may have mild reactions to vaccines such as the rabies vaccine. The most common reactions are slight swelling, some heat when touched, mild pain in the injection area including some muscle stiffness, and redness (if you can see the red skin through the fur). Less common but much more serious reactions include difficulty breathing, breaking out in hives across the body, etc.
Babies, like anyone else, will die from rabies when bitten by an animal with rabies. Put window screens in your windows and keep your baby away from bats. Dogs and other animals can have rabies, but bats are the most important carrier in many places. If your baby is bitten, treatment is available. It is important to get it started immediately. After breathing difficulties begin and especially after breathing stops, it could be too late.
There are many debates on the need for rabies vaccinations in cats. Read up on the vacine and ask your vet. If your cat is indoor only, rabies vaccinations are not necessary. If you do decide to get your cat this vaccine, it can be done with the others.

Is it legal to order and give your dog rabies vaccine in wv?
There are some states that may let you give your dog certain shots at home but rabies shots must be given by a professional vet. Because Rabies affects mammals (including humans) by attacking the brain and causing severe inflammation, the shot, if given incorrectly, can pass and without treatment it's fatal. When the rabies virus reaches the brain, it multiplies quickly and rabies symptoms begin. If this passes to anyone or if you're dog receives it because you did something wrong you can be charged with animal endangerment and even arrested for putting humans in danger.

viruses.
