What is my dog s disease? Could it be rabies?

.Don't be too sad just yet!I understand your feelings...My dog had a very fatal illness that made me cry.

Think about it first. Whether the dog that bites your dog is a stray dog or someone else's.

If it's a stray dog. Hey, that's usually rabies, yes. Alas.

If it is someone else's home, it is not necessarily, you should send the dog to the pet hospital as soon as possible for a diagnosis. Maybe it's something else.

But you also have to try to touch your dog as little as possible...Be careful not to get bitten by it. Even if you have a love for dogs, you have to take care of your own comfort...Otherwise, the consequences will be serious.

In case it really is. I still advise you not to be too sad. With an owner like you, your dog is already very happy.

It can be said that rabies is unmistakable. Rabies is also known as hydrophobia, rabies, etc. Once rabies occurs, its progression rate is very fast, most of them are 3-5 days, rarely more than 10 days, and the case fatality rate is 100%, which can be said to be unnecessary.

I've heard that dogs with rabies hate water, but you only describe the possibility of rabies, it's best not to approach it, I also like dogs, but now rabies is a disease that can't be cured, don't be sad

Rabies dogs are afraid of water and light. You're not typical.

It's definitely dead if you get bitten.

Why don't you go to the pet hospital, but you have to be careful.

The dog has rabies (i.e. gone crazy).In the early days of the disease, it hid in the dark and did not approach people, did not listen to calls, and even the owner forced it to bite people.

There is no indication of the incubation period of rabies, and post-exposure treatment is the only effective means of prevention after exposure of high-risk animals. The initial symptom of rabies is fever, and the wound site is often painful or abnormal, unexplained, shivering, tingling, or burning.

As the virus spreads through the central nervous system, patients develop typical clinical signs of rabies, i.e., manic and paralytic, and eventually die of pharyngeal spasm and suffocation or respiratory and circulatory failure.

Rabies**:

Rabies virus contains five proteins, namely glycoprotein (G), nucleoprotein (N), polymerase (L), phosphoprotein (NS) and matrix (M).

The glycoprotein of the rabies virus binds to acetylcholine, which determines the neurophage of the rabies virus. The main source of infection is sick dogs, followed by sick cats and sick wolves. After a human is bitten by a sick animal, the virus in the animal's saliva enters the human body through the wound and causes disease, and a small number of patients can also become ill due to the conjunctiva of the eye contaminated with the saliva of the diseased animal.

People are generally susceptible to rabies, especially hunters, veterinarians, and animal breeders. When the rabies virus enters the human body, it first infects muscle cells, multiplies in small amounts in muscle cells near the wound, and then invades nearby peripheral nerves.
