Rabies is a viral disease that causes serious disruption of the nervous system of warm-blooded animals and birds.

In all cases, rabies is fatal, as there is no cure for it.

Most often, dogs are susceptible to this disease, especially those animals that have the opportunity to move freely on the streets.

How to understand that your pet has contracted rabies? Veterinarians have answered this question.

This is worth remembering.

If a dog suddenly starts to show aggression or, on the contrary, it becomes uncharacteristically affectionate or fearful, you should start sounding the alarm.

In addition, animals infected with rabies always refuse to eat or drink.

It is extremely important to contact a veterinarian as soon as possible if you notice any unusual behavior in your dog.

It is also important to remember that an infected animal can infect a person through a scratch, saliva, blood or bite.
