Rabies

Yes, but you might not want to go through the hassle of transport, etc. with a female in heat in a vets. office. A confined area with other dogs, on leashes (You don't know what their manners are?) could cause quite a stir! But I think most things can be done with a female in heat that can be done with her not. Unless you plan to bred her you might want to consider having her spayed, there are lots of good reasons to do so, and if money is a problem, most vets. will work with you on the costs. It's just really hard to keep unwanted affections from her when she is in heat, especially if you live in a busy area.

You should see your Doctor IMMEDIATELY for shots to prevent you from getting the disease! If I am correct Rabies is a disease that affects the brain.

Rabies is a completely different disease from Distemper. Please read the related source links below for more details.

Yes. In countries where rabies is endemic, dogs should be vaccinated to prevent infection, which exposes humans to rabies infection. In countries where rabies is absent, various laws may apply, but usually imported dogs must have evidence of rabies vaccination prior to being allowed in.

It's the same in all states. Every year unless the dog had a three year shot ,but usually the vet will send a notice in the mail when your animal is due for shots or you can go to the vet office and have them look up records.

According to Omaha Vaccine Company, no. Some states require that rabies vaccines be administered by a licensed veterinarian. In addition, most local laws require that the vaccination include a certificate of vaccination and tag, which are only available through your veterinarian. ... THE FOLLOWING STATES WILL NOT ALLOW US TO SHIP RABIES VACCINES INTO THEIR STATES: AK, AL, CA, CT, GA, IA, IL, IN, KS, MA, MD, ME, MI, MN, MT, NC, ND, NE, NJ, NM, NV, NY, OR, RI, SC, TN, TX, UT, WA, WV, WY, PUERTO RICO.

Rabbits are mammals and any mammal can catch rabies. Rabies is a viral disease occurring in warm-blooded animals, which causes inflammation of the brain. It is most commonly transmitted by a bite from an infected animal.

It is more prevalent in carnivores and omnivores such as foxes, coyotes, mice, and squirrels, as well as domestic cats and dogs, although extensive immunization programs have largely eradicated it in the US and Canada. It is not as common in herbivores such as rabbits; while wild rabbits may become infected through contact with a predator, your domestic rabbit most likely will never come in contact with it.

Dogs foam at the mouth when they have rabies because the virus travels through the body and into the saliva glands. Once there the virus infects the cells and begins to replicate, the excess of saliva producing cells causes the dog to salivate more than usual, thus the dog foams at the mouth. The virus is also secreted in the saliva, thereby successfully spreading it.

NO! dogs can only get rabies if they fall in a hole and then hump a worm

The answer is NO, unless the dog is infected with it and it bites or scratches you. You can't get rabies with swallowing it.

Yes, A mother Dog cannot be trusted around anyone or anything when she has contracted Rabies, Just like any other animal, once they have the disease anything that comes into their path is a free attack as far as they're concerned.

Never. Rabies or hydrophobia is purely a mammal's disease.Well this is what I read anyway.

Rabies is passed by bodily fluid contact from an infected animal to another warm blooded animal.

Any animal that is infected with Rabies could pass it on to your dog if it is bit or scratched.

This is why it is so important to have your dog vaccinated against Rabies. You should get the first vaccine at 4 months of age then booster in one year, then every 3 years thereafter. Check with your Veterinarian about this too.

there is a chance he could get rabies because not all vaccines are successful. Vaccines are medicine that contain a dead cell of the disease. Now it depends on the immune system. If the immune system cannot find a way to kill this cell the vaccine will fail.

SO GL ON YOUR DOG

Yes. The most common carriers and transmitters of rabies are the carnivorous animals, however, horses like people, can be bitten by a dog, raccoon, fox or other animal with rabies and develop this viral disease. A preventive vaccine for horses is available , one initial vaccination must be followed by yearly boosts.

it starts singing random one hit wonders from the 80's.

A nursing mother cat cannot get a rabies shot or any type of vaccine in particular. Vaccines contain live components that can cross the placenta and may cause defects or even death in the fetus.

Good question. This one goes both ways. If your dog got the rabies shot for the first time, the immune system might not be immune to it yet, so yes, possible. If your dog has had the rabies vaccine and it's booster, yes, dogs need booster's too, well then his immune system recognizes it, and fights it off!

the virus goes to the brain and has complete control over the dog...all they have is the instinct to bite

sg

It really depends on age and what shots you're talking about.

A cat needs an examination before it can be given a shot. This will probably run you around 100$. Rabies shots are REQUIRED and are around 50$.

Total: 150$

However, as I said, it depends on how many shots and which ones you get. I don't buy the others since they ARE known to actually get cats sick.

ALSO, please make sure your vet delivers them in a limb, not the torso. Usually, it's the right hind leg. (Shots have been proven to cause cancer and require amputation of the limb. Be wary and informed when getting your cats shots)

only if it is less than a month from expiration if they still got more than a month to go before it expires don't do it.

you can but it just depends on how old the dog is and if it has had rabies befoe

or if it has health problems or alot of different things that could effect the dogs

health(trust me i am a vet for the Texas aggies vet clinic)

It is extremely unlikely, the virus is present in the saliva so if the cat was licking it's wound (very common) there could be some virus in the wet saliva but you would have to get that into your body and your skin (unless you too have a cut where you touched the saliva) is a good barrier...

Be very careful: untreated rabies is fatal in 99% of cases...

No, rabies can only be transmitted by the exchange of critical bodily fluids, such as an infected dog's saliva mixing with human blood after a bite. Licking will not transmit the disease unless the dog licks a wound you may have.
