Rabies Symptoms

Initially, the rabies symptoms are that there is an evident change of character; the dog becomes doubtful, sad and restless. This is also called "dog rage" Soon there appears a marked nervous excitement, and the dog has a fixed, brilliant, dumbfounded look in his eyes. The dog also starts to drool by the mouth. He attacks and bites other animals and people without any selection whatsoever. In his excitement, he injures his mouth, breaks his teeth, but insists on his rages of fury. He drinks avidly, not only water but also any sewage water or dirty water that he comes across with. (It is also wrong to think that a dog with rabies does not drink water). This particularity (hydrophobia) is only the manifestation of rabies in human beings. The dog keeps on way it is at its use and sometimes races off or turns around in circles for long periods. Other times, he abruptly stops whatever he's doing as if facing hallucinations.

The way the dog barks lets you know that he is going through a lot of torment. After that comes the paralysis of the limbs, first showing signs of an unsteady walk and finally the inability to walk despite all efforts. Death is nigh and very sad, as in a certain way the owner is the one responsible for not having giving him his vaccines.
