Rabies

if the dog is infected with rabies, it is best to seek medical attention immediately after the biting happened. but if unsure of the dog's state, you are given a 10 day grace period to observe the dog and the victim.

There is many reasons for getting a rabies shot for your dog. Getting a rabies shot for your dog will protect if from diseases such as rabies. Getting the shot will also protect people bitten be your pet from getting the illness. In many states it is also required.

Just like all animals. Bitten from bugs that carry diseases. Usually those pesky mosquitoes. Give all the crises and spiders... so make sure your dog is in a clean area and away from bug zones.

Rabies vaccinations in cats need to be renewed every 1 to 3 years. Your cat shouldn't contract rabies if they've been recently vaccinated. If you think your cat has been exposed to rabies, or can't remember when your cat was last vaccinated, call your vet ASAP. There is no cure or treatment for rabies in cats once symptoms occur, it's a fatal disease. It's also a disease that humans can contract.

Unfortunately, there are no tests that definitively show if an animal has rabies except for a test that is performed on samples of the brain after the animal has died. This is why it's extremely important to keep up with your cat's rabies vaccinations.

Each state may have different laws on how often a dog needs to get a rabies shot. Typically, the dog should have the first rabies shot between 12 months and 16 months of age. They will need a booster every one to three years after, depending on state laws.

Yes, Ferrets need canine distemper shots, only one vaccine is approved for ferrets. Canine distemper is fatal in ferrets (they die a horrible death) and is an airborne disease, being easily transmitted or brought in on your shoes or clothing.

Vaccination recommendations for horses depend on their location. The recommended vaccines in the US are different than in the UK, for example. When to start vaccination programs for foals and how often to booster against each disease is also variable. This is why it is important to contact your veterinarian to discuss what is appropriate for your area.

Commonly administered vaccinations for foals in the US include: Eastern Equine Encephalitis, Western Equine Encephalitis, Tetanus, Rabies, West Nile Virus, Strangles, Equine Influenza and Equine Herpes Virus.

The rabies tag should have the veterinary clinic's address and phone number on it. Call the clinic number and give them the tag number also located on the tag. They should be able to do a search in their computer system by number. The tough part is, each clinic is responsible for their own rabies tags. So, no other clinic would have access to these numbers or know who the dog belongs to. If the dog has a microchip tag on their collar, you can call that number and give them the number on the microchip tag. They will have the information 24/7. Otherwise, if its in the evening, weekend, or holiday, the veterinary clinic you are looking for will be closed and there is no way of locating an owner. Another reason to have your dog microchipped.

A double dose of any dead vaccine should not harm a cat. Many cats in rescue organizations are sometimes vaccinated due to an unknown past and there are no ill effects.

if they wont be injected with an anti-rabies ...

sadly only three days. my little poodle died withing two and a half but studies show three days for the average dog.

The signs of rabies in dog includes excessive salivation,restlessness and unresponsiveness,barking and biting tendency without provocation and aversion to water and spasm of respiratory muscle.

When you own a dog you should keep the rabies shots up. I do believe that in the U.S. this shot is given every year whereas in Canada one shot lasts three years. If your dog isn't left to roam and you've had the dog at home with you for sometime then it's highly unlikely you have rabies. However, if worried, please take your dog to the vets so a test can be done for rabies. You can only get rabies if a dog with rabies bites you. Signs of rabies in a dog are: * Acting strange, with tail between legs (if long tailed.) * Growling * Hyper * Afraid of everything including people * Doesn't like loud noises and will become frantic and may bite the first person they see. * Foaming at the mouth * Attacking other animals or humans

Only if the cat had just licked it's paw. Rabies is transmitted through the saliva. I'm pretty sure the skin has to be broken, though. But be careful!! You could get cat scratch disease from it. Oh and keep in mind that the cat must have rabies to transfer it. It will be foaming from the mouth and be acting very hostile towards you.

of course! its a virus so it can be transmitted to anyone.

No, unsually it means that it is a young raccoon and he is working hard at finding food and territorty. He has been run away from his home and family and now out on his own. He has to work extra hard to find enough food and stay on the move because he hasn't marked out his own territorty yet. So, he isn't really safe anywhere yet. If you look closely they are usually smaller and have thinner hair. They are the teenager group and it's a hard time for them. The adults will attack them and run them off their territorty, so they come out early and then go into hiding when it gets dark and the grown ups come out.
it means it has the rabies usually or has a mind sickness

This would be extremely uncommon, as the virus localizes in the brain and the nerves of the head and wouldn't be transmitted to the uterus. However, a puppy could be infected post-partum by the mother through her licking and coating it in rabies-laden saliva.

Yes you can. If the dog is in the early stages there are very few if any symptoms and the Rabies virus can be passed through the saliva. The only way to tell for sure is to either kill the animal and test the brain or keep in isolation to see if any symptoms develop but then it is too late for anyone who has been bitten or infected in any other way. The best thing to do is to vaccinate all dogs. They can be vaccinated as early as 4 months of age.

There are no specific weight qualifications for a kitten to receive a rabies shot. All cats, regardless or weight, breed, or age, are given the same vaccination dose.

They aren't scary to people (unless in an area where rabies is common). They are beautiful-looking animals, but are a problem when it comes to small domestic animals and wildlife. Sometimes children can be afraid of the noises they make at night in rural areas. Their barking and calls in the breeding season can sound a bit creepy, but are just their way of communicating. Sometimes children may be afraid if their pet has been taken by a fox. _______________________ Pets and other small domestic animals in rural areas should be secured at night; marauding dogs and cats are more of a threat - though less noisy - than foxes, and there's no excuse for leaving a child's pet at risk during the night. Dogs are a real problem when it comes to domestic animals such as sheep, and these dogs are frequently unsecured pets. It works both ways.

• A cat can get rabies from any animal with rabies, either by being bitten or saliva. even eating an animal that has rabies. WARNING: IF you have come into contact with any animal that has rabies even before it was showing "signs" please please please go to your doctor and let them know so you don't die or transmit it to anyone else. Most warmblooded mammals that are not vaccinated, including cats, bats, skunks and ferrets, can contract rabies. Like dogs, cats should be vaccinated regularly according to local laws.

While theoretically possible, insects have never been known to carry or transmit the disease
