Rabies is a potentially deadly disease that you can prevent with yearly checkups for your dog. Once the disease develops, rabies cannot be cured. The only way to be sure that a dog has rabies is by brain examination after the dog is dead.
- Difficulty:
- Moderate
Instructions
- 1
- 2Look for anxiety, solitude, fever and nervousness in dogs. Erratic behavior is also a sign. This will denote the first phase, the Prodromal phase of rabies. It lasts only 2 to 3 days. Pay particular attention if the dog is constantly licking any wounds.
- 3Notice any changes in temperament in dogs. Dogs can become angry and even vicious during the Furious stage. They will want to roam and can become overly sensitive to loud noises and bright light.
- 4Swallowing becomes more difficult for the animal during the Paralytic phase. This is the phase that you may think of when people refer to rabies. The inability to swallow leaves the dog constantly salivating. They make look like they are choking on something, and will soon die from respiratory failure.
- 5Take the dog immediately to a veterinarian if any symptoms occur after being in contact with other animals. They will keep the animal in quarantine.
- 6Go to the doctor immediately if you are bitten by an unvaccinated or stray animal. The animal should be quarantined and watched for any signs of rabies so you don't have to do the painful treatments.
