Editor's Notes
- Be careful, not all the time you animal you see so calm and tame will necessarily mean that it it may not transmit the virus Dogs must be vaccinated early before they get infected with the virus.
- Rabies can also be transmitted sexually from infected to a no-infected animal Don’t just your dog be wandering the streets because it may get infected by fighting with other dogs or by sexual mean
- Whenever one of these animals bytes you, wash the injury immediately with enough water and enough soap and look for the Doctor in order to be vaccinated.
- In this stage infected dogs may not show any signs or symptoms at all.
- Due to the brain inflammation, the dog will start confusing things and people and become extremely aggressive Doctor in Cabinda central hospital say that in just one day they can receive from 5 to 10 people bitten by dogs and most of them were bitten by their own dogs and some died couple of weeks later.
- At this stage, these are the symptoms
- Mental confusion, the fact of not eating due to the paralysis and respiratory disturbances will cause the dog to fall in coma.
- What to do if your dog gets infected by the rabies virus? A 1: Isolate it and keep it away from reach of children A 2: Do not trust on your dog, it is confused and with its nervous system altered it may byte you brutally (wildly) A 3: Do not allow it to escape from the chain or captivity A 4: Do not tie it with conventional rope because it may cut it with its teeth.
- Whenever one of these animals bytes you, wash the injury immediately with enough water and enough soap and look for the Doctor in order to be vaccinated.
- With medical intervention, the course of disease may be prolonged to several weeks before death ensues. The diagnosis of rabies in humans may be complicated since other diseases that affect the brain produce similar symptoms.
