The effects can actually be different even in the same species. Yes, some will act extremely aggressive in the way that most are portrayed, however, sometimes they just act generally confused. And others act as if they’re tamed pets. The symptoms of rabies can vary drastically, which is why it’s suggested that you don’t interact with any wild animals, no matter how sweet they may seem.
There was this raccoon at my grandma's killing outdoor kittens, so my dad set up a trail cam checked what time he comes around and then stayed up the next night to kill it. He said it had rabies because they don't typically eat cats. It was a huge ass raccoon to
@Unus eef Annus mark Though it may have had rabies, healthy raccoons will actually prey on kittens, rabbits, and farm birds. They also commonly get into scraps with adult cats over cat food left outdoors, however they typically will only be able to prey upon their kittens.
More people need to learn about this stuff. Rabies is no joke. Once symptoms show after being bitten, you’re dead. It has a nearly 100% mortality rate.
@@Pretentiouslizard unfortunately, it can be anything from 1 week to an entire year. The average is 2-3 months in most people, and like you said, once symptoms appear, it’s over. What people, ESPECIALLY CHILDREN, need to be aware of is that when an animal is “acting funny”, there’s a strong chance that it has rabies. Prior to the onset of symptoms, it’s very treatable.
I work as a nurse at a vet clinic. I can confirm how shitting scary a rabies animal can actually be. Especially if it's a big dog and it tries to attack you.
My 3 year old niece was bitten by a rabbid skunk In my aunt's years, she was rushed to the hospital and kept for almost 3 months, she did not contract rabies, it's a miracle, it did infact have rabies as animal control soon after killed it and tested it
This is one of those diseases that I'm surprised there isn't a cure (not counting the preventive shots Ozzy needed after the bat had incident). I get that there's no money in curing diseases, but this disease is egregious.
@@jessiejeanne9717 There is a rabies vaccine but it’s only effective before symptoms set in. My thinking is that due to it being a disease that primarily attacks the brain, it’s not something that can just be undone and cured as it destroys connections- kinda like how you can’t really cure something like dementia
Actually they dont foam at the mouth for that reason. Its sort of the opposite. The virus makes them incapable of drinking water so that they dont swallow the excess saliva being formed. The foaming is from the virus increasing salivation, as it spreads through saliva. It is quite literally giving itself the best chances to spread. Water is a threat to saliva, not the other way around.
It’s always so depressing seeing animals with rabies… because you know that animal will almost definitely die. It literally slowly kills them and takes over their body. Rabies is not a joke.
Animals with rabies are very unpredictable. There was a dog that got rabies and it only got super aggressive when exposed to light. While in the dark, it’ll snarl, growl, and bark-stuff like that, while pushing itself very far into the back of the covered crate. Sad and terrifying to see at the same time.
wrong. theyre incredibly paranoid. they fear everything. its why theyre so aggressive. nothing to do with 'they know they have it and dont wanna hurt you too :cry-face:'@@smartqt1449
My sister was attacked by one of our cats who somehow got rabies. Came running out from under the couch, ran into the wall, then hissed as he rolled across the floor, and chased my sister down against the front door when she closed it. I, had to tear our cat off my sister, and threw him in one of our rooms… We had to put him to sleep…she’s okay, this was years ago now. But it’s his face, the way it’s jaw was almost dislocated. The coyote reminded me of that moment.
This is long so if you don’t want to read a lot don’t start reading this. I was attacked by our cat who (at the time) recently had kittens and my dog ran over to the room they were in and my cat got really scared for her kittens. She ran over to my dog and was just circling him and didn’t actually do anything while my dog was backing up like he was saying sorry or something I was laughing with my mom.(it seems mean to be laughing but if you were there you would realize it’s wasn’t.) She turned around and ran straight at me since I was holding a kitten and started cutting up my legs and then ran back to my dog and cut him up too then back to me and this time she bit me twice. She went and attacked my dog again but when she came back my mom was quick enough to catch her so she wouldn’t do it again. During that entire thing I made sure not to drop that kitten. And my mom was pregnant and she has a really bad back but she bent down 3 times to try to get that cat way from me. She took me to the bathroom to stop my bleeding because she is a nurse she didn’t call anyone at first just making sure I was okay. Then she realized she was in pain because of her back and she started to cry and moan and she got a chair from my brother and couldn’t move her back so her movement was very limited. That is when I started to cry because I knew my brothers couldn’t do much. My mom called my grandma and when my grandma came she knew to call an ambulance because my mom could barely move. An ambulance came for each of us and I watched as they struggled to get my mom on a stretcher and they took her into the ambulance. I had people talk to me and they said we could choose to go in the ambulance or drive ourselves to the ER. We chose to drive ourselves and I was way to scared to get shots without any preparation so I chose to wait a day to get them. Everyone was telling me I shouldn’t but I’m stupid under stress. (I was getting shots because my cat was outside to get pregnant so there was a chance she had rabies) I got the shots for weeks and I was doing okay but my mom had to use a walker. She didn’t break her back or stuff like that she just hurt it bad. We are all good now me, my mom, and the baby. Also my cat tried to have the same accident happen again but my mom didn’t let that happen so we got rid of her.
That camel looks perfectly fine. You can tell that there was something in the sand, and he was shaking its head trying to shake it off. Definitely not rabid.
@@Prangers2012 sure having a laugh is fine but if you are laughing at the wrong occasions like when someone died in a funeral you don't laugh at the deceased, that is just disrespectful. That's why we have the the moment of silence to respect the dead, same with someone dying in a hospital equally with animals. Just ask yourself this would you like to be laughed at when you are in pain and dying?
Also please remember that if you see an deer staggering like it’s drunk, there’s two option and the outcome is the same. 1. It has rabies, it will die and if you touch it, so will you. 2. It’s got some kind of brain injury or neurological problem, either way, it will be dead soon, and if you get too close, it will kill you with its antlers.
@@blehhblehhhh I think you are onto something. Animals with rabies sometimes have a hard time closing their mouth and when you look at an enderman they stare back with their mouth open. Maybe Mona get took inspiration from rabid animal 🤔
@@exertations if you knew your relative was going to die the next morning wouldn’t you give them prayers anyway? You probably would, so why are you tell this kind person to not pray for an animal even if they knew it was going to die?
@@sumanningombam9786 that doesn’t mean you can’t pray for an animal, you know what, this argument isn’t worth fighting for, it’s a stupid reason, but I advise to not comment something bad on a nice comment, even if it is logical, rude comments can hurt the person you replied too
I’m so glad I always have a partner who is armed when we go walking around the neighborhood! My sister was just attacked by 2 huge pit bulls that the owner lost control of. She has a a belgian malinois trained to defend her (she used to work overseas, it’s weird) that saved her life. Be careful out and about. Nature doesn’t play!
me and my parents were watching tv and heard squeaking outside, and my mom looked and it turned out to have been a raccoon infected with rabies rolling on the ground outside, in severe pain. We ended up having to call the police so they could put it down since there wasn't anything anyone could do to help it, which kind of ruined our night. It was pretty spooky
There's basically 2 prominent stages to rabies. There's dumb rabies, which is when the animal basically slowly becomes paralyzed and there's furious rabies, which is when they want to bite everything in sight
I know what you are thinking about but that wasn't rabies that was an entirely fictional disease and no disease is going to make an animal be able to wade through lava for a short amount of time. Plus humans and dinosaurs didn't exist at the same time
@@VeriRBLX yeah. My comment was meant for humor and fans of that show. The effect of the rabies on the coyote and camel reminded me of the parasaupholus that was infected and bit the Brachiosaurus. Let's face it, it ran hard after Spear and Fang and it scared the hell out of them and us viewers. Rabies today ain't no joke
It’s not the big animals w rabies that scare me. It’s the small ones you don’t know were there, with bites you never feel. Once you have symptoms your prognosis isn’t 0% but it’s damn near close iirc.
Hey, that coyote was wondering if you had any games on your phone Edit: i’m kind of famous now not really, but sort of you know what I mean Edit 2 come on we can get it to 1K I know we can
I've only had to put one animal thankfully, down because of rabies. He charged into my car and died shortly after. If something is wild, it shouldn't run to you. It should run away in fear or to keep distance. For those of you don't know. Some animals can get really aggressive when rabid. So they will charge anything. For example, in my case. I live in the country and entered the parking lot to my work. A coyote was the only animal in the lot. Normally they would come out at night to pick and scavenge the trash. But this was broad daylight. I watched it brace for a moment, then charged straight on into my car. It was foaming at the mouth and probably in it's late stages. The impact killed it immediately. I called animal control to dispose of the remains so no other animal would come up, pick at it's corpse and spread rabies further.
The rabies virus causes a rabies infection. The virus spreads through the saliva of infected animals. Infected animals can spread the virus by biting another animal or a person. In rare cases, rabies can be spread when infected saliva gets into an open wound or the mucous membranes, such as the mouth or eyes. Hope this helps :))
Yes. Once this symptom shows i.e hydrophobia...you have 2-7 days left (until your body can live without water). According to internet only 24 people have survived through it and only 1 isn't crippled. (Don't know if number changed). Rabies patients also bark and howl, they become aggressive and try to bite other humans in their last stages. Stay safe and use vaccines when needed.
Rabies is not one size fits all. Some will be raging thrashing lunatics. Some will be completely paralyzed. Everything in between those two outcomes is technically possible. You literally can not trust anything in regards to it because the effects are so varied. That said, general confusion, mouth foaming, lack of coordination, and hydrophobia are pretty "standard". I grew up in the woods. You see fox and raccoons with this disease quite frequently. Typically calling the police or shooting the animal from a safe location if absolutely necessary are what needs to happen. Don't think of it as killing an animal. Think of it as a mercy. Rabies results in death in less than 2 weeks once it reaches this point so you might as well end the suffering or have a police officer do it if your unable for various reasons.
I’d say the most depressing one is on humans. 100% fatality rate and by the time you start showing symptoms you only have a few days left and it gets really fucking bad
No, its a disease that passed on by bites, and as @Oh A Shark said, it has all those symptoms and, it also is the only disease where you'll almost certainly die if you don't have the vaccine for it
I feel bad for the coyote, although that person recording the video was probably scared to go outside or even have their kids/pets go outside if they have any
My dog just got rabies. Hes in the first stage. He doesnt want to drink the medicine we're giving. My sister really loves our dog. She did everything for him. My sister is sad that our dog has to go through this. He is such a sweet dog
How do you know if it’s not showing signs. Once a rabid animal shows signs it over for them and rabies cannot be detected in scans or whatever so may I ask again. How do you know if your animal has rabies if it isn’t showing signs
@@misty_anime00pets suspected of rabies are given a booster shot (if they had the rabies shot before getting bit) and are quarantined for I believe a month. If it’s a wild animal it’s killed and its head is sent to a lab for testing.
@@Rika24 I said once it shows signs not when it’s suspected of rabies 😑 (not trying to be rude cause some people will think that if I don’t put this here and I don’t want to start fights :D )
