Rabies attacks your pet?

Rabies attacks the spine as well, so an obvious sign of the disease would paralysis. Yet your pet may still have the disease even if it doesn't get paralyzed. So you have to watch out for other symptoms, like changes in your dogs behavior. An example of such would be anxiousness. It would seem as if it were anticipating for something to happen without clear reason. Whimpering or it seeming to be scared is also a possibility. The damage on its nervous system can cause it to hallucinate. It may sometimes be barking by itself; appearing to be scared of something or someone that isn't there.

Your pet may tend to turn into an aggressive and paranoid beast, posing an even greater threat to you and your family. Confusion can kick in. It can confuse you to be an enemy; things between you two can get really ugly. Knowing how your dog usually behaves would help a lot. An owner that truly knows his pet will be able to detect the changes in its behavior. If one notices a significant change, one should not hesitate to bring one's pet to their veterinarian for a check-up. Sometimes the changes can be a minor psychiatric disorder, but it never hurts to be sure.

It is possible to treat rabies at its early stages. But as I've said earlier, initiating treatment when the virus has already made its way to the brain is useless. Government programs include pet vaccination programs in some areas - free vaccination is given out here. By having our pets vaccinated, we're not just helping ourselves - but the community as well. The shot makes your dog more resistant to rabies, ruling it out as a vessel for the sickness. The more pets vaccinated, the better. It help control the spread of the virus, making things safer for everybody.
