Rabies is caused by rabies virus. Dogs, cats and carnivores are very susceptible to infection and can infect humans. Sick dogs specifically show anxiety and confusion in their concepts, attack people and animals, and eventually become numb and die, so they are also called mad dog disease. There is no reasonable treatment for rabies at this stage, and the mortality rate is 100%.

1. The cause of rabies:

1. The key to rabies virus infection is found in the brain and spinal nerves of the sick dog. There are also many viral infections in the throat and saliva of the sick dog, and they are excreted out of the body with the saliva.

2. Viral infection may be carried on the saliva 10 to 15 days before the clinical manifestations of the disease occur, and within 6 to 7 months after the disease subsides. Therefore, when the animal is bitten by the sick animal, it may become infected and develop.

3. There are some dogs and cats that appear to be healthy physically and mentally, and their saliva can also be infected with viruses. When they lick people or other animals, or live with people in daily life, they can also cause infection and illness.

4. Many natural animals, such as wolves, foxes, deer, spiders, etc., can not only die from the disease, but also expand and spread. For example, some types of spiders (Falconia Vampire bats) often besiege people and animals after being infected with rabies virus, causing them to become infected and become ill.

5. The respiratory system is divided into essential substances and gases polluted in the urine, which can also cause respiratory infections between humans and animals. Natural animals can be infected by the digestive system by eating sick carcasses.

2. Key points of diagnosis of rabies:

This disease is generally released, that is, it is mostly caused by individual cases, and most of them have medical records bitten by crazy animals. Generally, there are more diseases in spring and summer, which is related to dog sexual activities. The clinical medical characteristics of rabies are as follows:

1. At the beginning of the disease, the specific manifestation of mental silence and abnormal behavior. If you do not listen to the call, you like to hide in the darkness and have different odor. You like to eat gravel, blocks, soil and other objects. The sick dog often licks and bites everywhere with your tongue.

2. Then the development trend is to be furious and restless, attacking people and animals, and often running around aimlessly. The dog with diseased appearance gradually loses its weight, with its jaw loose and its tail loose and is sandwiched between its hind legs. The throat is hoarse, drooling increases, and swallowing disorders.

3. In the middle and late stages, the sick dog develops numbness, it is difficult to move around, and finally the whole body declines.

III. Preventive measures for rabies:

1. There is no reasonable treatment for rabies at this stage, and the mortality rate is 100%.

2. After discovering a sick dog, you should send it to a veterinary station or health station for treatment immediately. After being bitten or scratched by a sick dog or cat, you should go to the outpatient clinic immediately for medical treatment.

3. Vaccination should be carried out on time. At present, there are two types of rabies pre-spermia produced in my country, namely rabies pre-spermia and lyophilized rabies aptivitis. Rabies is an infectious disease in both human and animal under the laws of our government departments. We should attach great importance to the prevention of vaccination.
