    On the premise of ensuring that it does not hurt you, put it in a cage, do not kill, but isolate, observe, eat and drink every day, if it is still alive after 10 days, then no matter how similar its symptoms are to rabies, it is not rabies. Don't simply kill a cat or dog because it's manic, any animal, including a human, will be irritable when it's seriously ill. You should at least observe whether the cat is afraid of water, as long as it is thirsty and can drink water on its own, do not kill it easily, but isolate and observe for 10 days.

    Of course, if you don't feel at ease, just kill it, after all, it's just an animal, and there's no need to risk your own life.

    Suggestion: Hello, the symptoms of rabies in cats should be similar to those of dogs, dogs will hide in the dark in the early stage of rabies, do not listen to calls, and even the owner will pull it to bite. After two days, it was running around, often biting people and animals violently, holding its tail and drooling a lot.

    After three or four days, the whole body was paralyzed, he stopped eating, his tongue was sticking out and drooling worse, and finally he lay on the bottom and could not get up again. Whether a person is bitten by a rabid dog or a rabies domestic animal or will develop the disease has a lot to do with the location of the bite (the closer to the head, the more dangerous), the degree of the wound, and the timely treatment of the wound after the bite. After a person is bitten by a dog, the wound should be treated promptly within 2 hours.

    The wound can be rinsed thoroughly with soapy water for at least half an hour. Then quickly sweep the health and epidemic prevention department and inject rabies vaccine for human use to prevent the onset of the disease.

    Seek satisfaction.

    No.

    Rabies is usually transmitted through blood or saliva, and cats can only get rabies if they are bitten by an animal that carries the rabies virus and the cat is not vaccinated against rabies. Since there is currently no best way to deal with rabies, it is usually recommended that owners give their cats regular vaccinations. Usually try to keep the cat away from animals in the outside world, such as stray dogs, cats, bats, etc.

    Rabies is a contagious disease. The disease is mainly contracted through animal bites**, mucous membranes, etc. In addition, it is possible to pass through respiratory infection through accidental ingestion of meat from infected animals or aerosols.

    If the cat does not have the above-mentioned high-risk behaviors, it will generally not be infected with the rabies virus on its own.

    After the rabies virus enters the cat's body, the incubation period is generally 2-8 weeks, sometimes up to several months. The specific time of onset is mainly related to the bite site, the type of exposure, the amount of virus at the exposed site, and the immune status of the body. When cats show clinical signs, they often change their habits and often have a tendency to run away or hide.

    The course of the disease after the cat is infected with rabies virus is relatively short, generally 2-4 days after the appearance of symptoms, the sick cat likes to hide in the shadows, and makes a sharp cry, and then violently attacks humans and animals.

    The diagnosis of rabies is mainly fluorescent antibody detection and PCR detection, after the diagnosis of rabies virus, because it is impossible to **, it should be culled in time. The main prevention of rabies in cats is vaccination, and at present, cats can go to the pet hospital for rabies vaccination when they are about three months old. After rabies vaccination, antibodies against rabies virus can be produced, and when the antibody level is qualified, the cat has the ability to resist rabies virus, but it also needs to be strengthened in the later stage.

    Cats do have rabies.

    Although the rabies virus is named after "rabies", it is not a virus unique to dogs or cats. Cattle, horses, and sheep, which are also animals that we often come into contact with in our daily lives, can also carry the rabies virus.

    You may also encounter swine flu when you raise pigs, raise chickens, ducks and geese and may be infected with avian flu, and there are more people who raise wild animals abroad and are still alive and well.

    Cats can also carry the rabies virus and can transmit rabies. The main source of rabies infection is animals carrying the rabies virus, not only dogs, among domestic animals, dogs are the mainstay, followed by cats, as well as pigs, cows, horses, etc., rabies can be transmitted. In developed countries and areas where canine rabies is largely controlled, wild animals have become the main source of infection, including bats, raccoons, skunks, wolves, foxes, etc., all of which can transmit rabies.

    The main source of rabies infection in China is sick dogs, 80%-90% of rabies are caused by bites of sick dogs, and some healthy dogs can also carry rabies virus in their saliva, which can also transmit rabies. Therefore, if you are scratched or bitten by a cat, you need to follow the rabies prevention process.

    The rabies virus is usually found in the body of the animal that is sick, or the animal that has died and is infected, and must eat the meat of these animals, or the mother himself has the virus to inherit it. If you make sure that it has not been in contact with other animals, that it does not carry rabies and that it does not carry the rabies virus, it will not get rabies. Rabies virus, like other viruses, requires a source of infection to be infected, and does not arise out of nothing.

    If your cat is confined in the house and has never been in contact with other animals, the chance of contracting rabies is almost zero.

    Don't go out, don't eat rats at home, don't get rabies. Domestic cats, if they dig or bite their owners, are mainly to prevent bacterial infection, rabies does not need to be considered.

    Cats can transmit more serious diseases to humans, one is Toxoplasma gondii for pregnant women, and the other is Salmonella, like the name.

    The problem of toxoplasmosis gondii is that if you don't give the cat raw food, the cat won't get it. People should not touch cat feces that have been stored for more than a day and eat without washing their hands, they will not be infected.

    The one in the back doesn't kiss the cat's mouth, it won't get.

    There is also a kind of infectious disease that is not serious but very troublesome is **ringworm, the kitten should let it have a place to bask in the sun, eat not too badly to cause malnutrition, the hair must be dry after bathing, and the cat will generally not mess up the fiber will get ** disease.

    The daily hygiene problem is mainly to keep the living environment clean, the environment is clean, and the cat is clean. The cat's own hygiene is fine, it will take care of itself.
