Rabies is a deadly animal disease caused by a virus. It can happen in wild animals, including raccoons, skunks, bats and foxes, or in dogs, cats or farm animals. People get it from the bite of an infected animal.

In people, symptoms of rabies include fever, headache and fatigue, then confusion, hallucinations and paralysis. Once the symptoms begin, the disease is usually fatal. A series of shots can prevent rabies in people exposed to the virus. You need to get them right away. If an animal bites you, wash the wound well; then get medical care.

To help prevent rabies

Vaccinate your pet. Rabies vaccines are available for dogs, cats and farm animals
Don't let pets roam
Don't approach stray animals. Animals with rabies might be aggressive and vicious, or tired and weak

Voting Question: Found a stray kitten...worried for her health.? (Thu, 09 Feb 2012 17:20:19 GMT)
I found a stray kitten that followed me home. I don't know if it had a owner before or not. But she was really clean and friendly. But for the first day it didn't go to the bathroom. Next day when I bought a litter box it automatically stepped in and peed. It continued to use the litter box on it's own without ever being taught by me. She also likes to be pet and follows me around and purrs a lot. Are these signs that she had an owner before? I wanna know because I'm worried for her FELV testi

Voting Question: Cat, 3 yrs old, stiff back legs and afraid to go to vet. 'sways' her hips to walk. Unsure if this is normal? (Wed, 08 Feb 2012 02:19:31 GMT)
My female cat, Rini, is almost 3 years old. She is a happy cat, if not a little scared of her bigger brother. Plays a little bit. But eats well, her eyes are always alert, and she is relatively a petite cat. I always noticed her hips 'sway' when she walks. I always thought this was adorable, because her tail is straight up and curls at its end (it looks like she is doing a dainty little walk). But lately I've been wondering if something is wrong with this? Her back legs... they seem.. stiff
Voting Question: Can Health Department call & threaten to kill your animal, or else call CPS on you? (Tue, 07 Feb 2012 16:11:58 GMT)
Our 3 year old daughter put her finger in the bunny cage after a trip, and the hungry bunny bit her finger. first time ever biting anyone. we hold the bunny and feed them by hand and never had fear of them biting, and still do not.

Well, the next day the County Health Department called us and said they ha

I took my cat to the vet last Thursday and she had her rabies shot as well as a clean bill of health. Ever since then she has been acting very abnormally. She seems rather "itchy" and is constantly grooming. She also throws up just about every night around 8 and can't seem to keep any food down 'till the next day when it starts all over again. She's very slight; less than 6lbs and is just generally (naturally petite). Could the rabies shot be causing her problems? I've tried everything to try
Voting Question: What are the causes of pet overpopulation? (Mon, 23 Jan 2012 02:42:41 GMT)
Okay, I know most people will respond to this question by saying something like: "because of all the irresponsible, morally repugnant MORONS who don't spay/neuter their pets!!!" But think about it, up until the 1960s, NOBODY spayed/neutered their pets. So for all these thousands and thousands of years, cats and dogs were allowed to be as promiscuous and prolific as they pleased, and seemingly no one ever really considered this to be a problem. I'm sure that stray animals (and their offspring)

The dog was current on all his vaccines and had not been in contact with wild animals. When he bit me I had three pairs of pants on due to the cold, but no hole or tears were in any of the pants. However, the skin was cut. The dog has since been euthanized for other issues (his fear biting was too much to risk with children around). I went to the doctor on Wednesday because the bruising had increased and they created a bite report. That doctor prescribed an antibiotic. Now because the dog is n

I've had her for about year now, and she continuously attacks me unless she's in her heat cycle (my dad doesn't want to 'waste' his money spaying a cat) or during times when I've just 'returned' from a period of time away from her, for example when I sleep, and when I wake up or when I go out of town for a short while with
