World Rabies Day: 5 things to know

Il September 28 if you celebrate the World Rabies Daya disease that affects humans and animals and can be fatal.

Precisely because of its danger it is good to know some fundamental bases not only to avoid it, but also to recognize and treat it. Here are five things to know about anger.

1. Anger is transmitted with a bite

Rabies is an infectious and viral disease, which it is transmitted through the bite of the animal infected and often proves fatal.

Especially in puppies, the outcome can be very serious, because this pathology mainly affects the airways with nerve lesions and muscle spasms. Practically acts on the nervous system causing often irreversible damage.

2. Symptoms of anger are recognizable

Anger has symptoms different depending on the case and the animal. Usually we find:

  • Breathing difficulty;
  • Muscle spasms
  • Altered tone of voice;
  • Aggressive and different behavior than usual;
  • Convulsions;
  • Abundant and excessive salivation.

3. Anger is transmitted to man

Anger is a disease that it can also infect and affect humans. The infected animal, which can be a dog, a mouse, a bat, but also foxes and all wildlife, by biting the human being can transmit anger.

Even contact between two open wounds, one of which is infected, can pass the disease, so it is well be very careful especially if you have a dog at home that has been infected.

4. Anger is preventable

Since rabies is a difficult disease to cure without leaving a trace and most of the time it is fatal, especially if it affects puppies and very young dogs, it is better to prevent it. In this case, the rabies vaccine that is administered to the dog in the first months of life is very important.

Do not underestimate this and do not assume that, perhaps, your dog being a very homely animal could never run into this problem. The vaccine is the ideal solution and definitive to avoid anger.

5. In the event of a bite, run to the vet or doctor

In the event that your dog is bitten by an infected animal, it is good to wash the wound immediately with water and bicarbonate and then visit the veterinarian promptly.

Same thing goes for humans: if we are infected, better wash the bite with soap and water and then go to the doctor soon. Avoid any do-it-yourself remedies.
