Want to know how to tell if a puppy has rabies? Come and see

Among most diseases that dogs can get, rabies is one that everyone should stay away from. So do you want to know how to tell whether a puppy has rabies virus? Let’s take a look with the editor~

1. Overly excited and loves to attack people

If you find that your usually docile dog suddenly becomes violent, mentally excited, or even attacks people and other animals for no reason, it is likely to be infected with rabies virus. At this time, the owner must isolate the dog to avoid being bitten.

2. Photophobia and waterphobia

Dogs with rabies are very afraid of light and water. They will tremble when they hear the sound of water flowing. Therefore, rabies is also called "hydrophobia", and they will often hide in the dark. Therefore, when a dog suddenly becomes afraid of light and water, it is likely to be a symptom of rabies and needs to be isolated as soon as possible!

3. Drooling

A dog with rabies cannot swallow saliva, which causes its saliva to accumulate in the mouth. Therefore, if you find that your dog is suddenly drooling frequently and looking sluggish, the owner should be careful, as it is very likely that he is infected with rabies.

4. Unconsciousness

If dogs are infected with rabies, their daily routine will also change. Therefore, owners can pay attention to observation. If the dog has a loss of appetite or waste, drinks water, walks in a deviated or stiff manner, walks in circles, does not recognize home when walking out of the house, wanders around aimlessly, and is unconscious, it may be rabies.

5. Convulsions

When the rabies virus invades the dog's nervous system, the dog will have stiff limbs, twitching all over the body, and white foam will flow out. Therefore, if you find that your dog cannot control its body and has stiff limbs, twitching, etc., it is probably suffering from rabies and will die quickly.

Note: Regularly injecting rabies vaccines into dogs is the most effective way to prevent rabies, so owners must vaccinate their puppies with rabies vaccines. Generally, the first injection can be given when the puppy is over three months old, and then it can be vaccinated once every eleven months every year. It is also recommended to try to stay away from strange animals when going out.
