Rabies

The rabies virus travels to the brain and spinal cord cells, their main hosts, and enters the cell. Then, it 'orders' the host to produce the rabies cell parts. After that, the parts assemble and when the host is overfilled with the virus, it bursts and the new cells go off to attack more cells. How cheerful! (sarcasm here)

Between 1-3 people die each year in the United States from rabies, as reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Rabies is a rare but serious viral disease that is almost always fatal once symptoms appear.

The rabies infected many throughout Europe.

In the "Little House on the Prairie" book series by Laura Ingalls Wilder, Laura's dog, Jack, does get rabies and sadly has to be put down to prevent the spread of the disease.

rofl..attitude?

gosh.

and thanks.

No, vampire bats can also transmit other diseases such as rabies, Bartonellosis, and other blood-borne pathogens. It is important to take precautions if you suspect contact with a vampire bat to prevent the transmission of these diseases.

No. Not all cats have rabies. In fact, in the UK rabies is practically non-existent in pets. The only way a cat can have rabies is if it has not had vaccinations and is infected with a cat that has rabies.

Take the cat to the vet immediately. If the cat has been exposed but is not showing symptoms, then the vet will likely recommend vaccination. If the cat is symptomatic then the only option is euthanasia.

In the United States, the first rabies vaccine can be given to a puppy or kitten at 16 weeks of age. This vaccine is considered effective for one year, after which the dog or cat can be given a multi-year rabies vaccine.

A dog with rabies should be destroyed, as rabies is not curable, is almost always fatal, and causes great suffering to the animal in addition to being dangerous to people and other animals near the infected one. In short: yes, you should be worried, and you should immediately have the dog put down in addition to receiving prophylactic treatment yourself.

Dogs can eat mushroom soup, but it should not be given to them very often. The soup contains a lot of salt and a dog can gain too much weight.

Rabies is fairly uncommon on groundhogs but it has happened and Is definitely possible. Almost any mammal can get rabies. Animals like mice, rats, squirrels and groundhogs, are not very common to get rabies but can and does happen. Dogs, cats, foxes, cows and other mammals can all get rabies but birds fish and snakes can not.

Never vaccinate a puppy before 6 months of age because they are still developing and could conceive and are put at risk of a illness because of youth.

No. However, if the dog has rabies, it probably isn't going to sit there and not bite you if you do so.

After the incubation stage (average 3-8 weeks) the dog would typically be contagious and live for up to 14 days. (http://www.peteducation.com/article.cfm?c=2+1556&aid=347)
within 1 or 3 weeks

i dont think you can but a sure way to find out is to call the vet first..

As with any vaccine, there is the risk of an adverse reaction to a rabies vaccination but the risk is very small and most reactions are minor. The risk associated with not vaccinating and possibly contracting the disease is generally higher than the risks associated with vaccinating.

Potentially.

In their native habitat of Australia, sugar gliders do not carry rabies, as rabies is not present in Australia. Where they have been introduced to other countries as exotic pets, they naturally become susceptible to diseases such as rabies in that country.

It should be noted that members of the possum family are less likely to carry rabies than placental mammals.

The vaccine is adminstered subcutaneously, which is under the skin. However, in the United States, only an accredited veterinarian can administer a rabies vaccination - if you do this at home, your dog is presumed to be unvaccinated and could be impounded or euthanized if it bites someone.

Some vets will give it in the muscle (IM) but it is debatable which is best. Most still prefer the subcutaneous injection.

If the dog's vaccinations are current, then there is no recorded case of a human contracting the rabies virus from the dog. But, a booster shot is recommended.

Not all stray cats have rabies, but some can if they have gotten bit by a different animal, like a squirrel, with rabies and if they haven't gotten their rabies vaccination. If you notice the cat is foaming from the mouth, going up to you unafraid or has unusual behaviors it could mean they have rabies. I hope I helped answer your question!

Whales are mammals of the third degree....

This means that it is able to get pontographinia.

Pontographinia is a immune system that only third degree mammals can get.

Now the rabies part...

Rabies has a special compound of the neurons....

It is called the Ragnay compound

Now the whales.... basically i don't know anything about what i just said.... SUBWOLFER!!

please ring me on DOH MEI HOTLINE!

Think about it. How would Whales ever get rabies in the first place. Would a dog who had rabies ever bite a whale? I don't think so. How could he even do it? He would have to dive in the water and swim like hell just to catch the whale. I don't think even a mad dog is going to try that. Have you ever seen a dog try to swim? They dog paddle.

in the United States and Canada, averaging one or two a year (down from over 100 cases annually in 1900), but the worldwide incidence is estimated to be between 30,000 and 50,000 cases each year.
