He stopped and started making this horrific wheezing sound. As I walked past, he turned his head and stared at me, but there was just nothing in his eyes, he was looking at me, but didn't see me.

They had no control of their own movements especially their heads. I made sure my ex put it down each if them down immediately. Later I alone saw an rabid skunk and even the vulture was skeezed out by it. I had to handle that one on my own and I know did the right thing but I am still troubled by it to this day.

And just to note, it's only mammals that get rabies. At least if our pet lizard or turtle bites we don't have to worry about it from them. (I don't mean a snapping turtle.) Though some people say opossums seem to be immune to rabies, but when defensive, they sure can act rabid.

[@SilverScaleMA]

dondena21 yeah, there are a few animals that just either don't contract or can't spread rabies. Possums are one of the few that are both. Some species of bats can get rabies but it is extremely rare that they spread it to humans. Deer can also contract rabies but it uncommon for them to spread it effectively. It really depends on how the specific immune system for that species works and how the species behaves, many prey animals can get rabies but don't really spread it but most predators can both get and spread it easy. Where I live the biggest rabies conserns are raccoons, coyotes, and foxes though there has been a rather high number of rabid skunks as well.

[@TheSeerSacrifice]

its because of the low body temp, if a possom gets sick and runs high body temp they are at risk of rabies.

Two years ago my beloved cat was bitten by a stray dog, after about 20 days my cat bit me and my brother in one morning. I thought she was being playful and went to work without thinking much of it. The next day she started showing rabies symptoms and thats when i looked into my wound, it was swelling and bite marks were filled with puss. Went to the hospital and took the vaccines, the cat ran off to a nearby jungle and died the next day. The next 30 days are the most horrific days of my life...each day thinking that the symptoms may show up and it would be the last week of my life. But thanks almighty I am still alive 😊

Symptoms often won't show till months later, but by that time, you'd better start making plans. It's to late once symptoms show.

Everything that was said in this 50's film is still completely accurate and appropriate. Nothing is outdated. I like the addition of "Don't stick your hand through a fence."

[@pickles3128]

Wow, great eye! I'm very surprised this documentary focuses on dogs. Here in Missouri, our rabies cases are almost all bats, and a few skunks. St. Louis tends to have 4 or so cases a year that test positive (mostly bats) but I think that's just because there's more people around to notice sick animals and to get them tested, versus a rural area like most of our other counties. I've taken to telling neighborhood children that all bats have rabies, just because if they're slow enough to be caught by a little one they probably do -- and those shots HURT! (Former wildlife rehab volunteer who's learned that firsthand!) We haven't had a case since 2008, and that was the first one since the 50's. Some guy kept a sick bat as a pet (in a county with a bad reputation for its outbreaks) and nursed it back to health, but it bit him on the ear and he never sought treatment. Of course he died. I suppose it must've been much more common when this film was shot, as most people still didn't vaccinate. You don't even need a shot every year to stay immune, that's just how most vets make the most money, and of course the vaccine industry would push it, too. I've stopped even going to the animal shelter on Gasconade. Over 99% of the cats get euthanized and I can't keep any more, it hurts my heart too much to look them in the eyes...

[@infiltr80r]

Long time in American terms.

[@Amy_the_Lizard]

@@pickles3128 At the time period this was made, dogs were actually the species most likely to transmit rabies to humans. While it's true that immunity from the yearly vaccine does usually last more than a year, the exact duration varies and it's safer to operate on the assumption that the immunity will last for the shortest length possible so that no animal is unfortunate enough to not have immunity because it's system can't remember a pathogen quite as long as most of the others can - not because vets are greedy. Also, they recently altered the human rabies vaccine, and I've heard the new one hurts less for what that's worth, though I haven't tried it myself yet. (I'd like to do work in wildlife conservation, so I'll probably get the vaccine eventually.)

Sad they havnt advanced in that long

[@heathero.7643]

@@supme7558 Well, the only further advancement we could do would involve irradiation of the virus or genetic engineering of all host species at this point. The rabies prophylaxis stops the virus in your system so long as you seek treatment before the symptoms start. In most cases, that gives you a 6-12 month window to go seek treatment if you’re concerned the animal that bit you was rabid. It is illegal in most states to not have your cats and dogs vaccinated, and wildlife resource officers mass drop vaccine cookies for wild animals in state parks to keep it down as much as we can. Unfortunately, rabies is transmissible between all mammalian carnivores, except American opossums, so it’s virtually impossible to irradiate rabies. Even some herbivores can contract it, such as deer, horses, cows, and donkeys. Rabies research is still being done, but we know just about everything there is to know about this virus. If it was only transmissible amongst humans, you could expect it to have gone the way of Smallpox long ago.

[@Voltomess]

@@supme7558 in 1885 Dr. Louis Pasteur injects a series of a new rabies vaccine into a boy who had been bitten by a rabid dog. The boy survives. This is the first vaccine to protect against rabies in people. That was 138 years ago and yet after over a century they still don't have something better than that because if you got rabies and go to doctor too late you die and no vaccine is going to help you. In Canada not long ago a guy was bitten by a tiny bat , bat was so tiny that he didn't even know he was bitten when he started to feel weird a week later they diagnosed rabies but it was too late for the vaccine.

I've lost a relative to rabies here in northeast brazil, he caught it from a stray cat that he tried to take off of the streets, and the cat had bitten him. He take the vaccine almost 3 hours after he got bitten. He thought he was cured and completely ok, but a month later he started having the symptons and died. The last time i saw him, he was in a catatonic state, he didn't looked at me, he was just staring at the ceiling and when he tried to drink something, even though he was thirsty, he could not drink it, it was like his body was preventing him from doing so. That was one of the saddest things i've seen in my life, and that memory sticks with me from that moment to this day. Now everytime i see a cat or a dog, doesn't matter how cute or defenseless it looks, i don't get near them and get really anxious next to one of them, it's like seeing my relative slowly die that terrible death, has unlocked a inner fear inside of my brain. Take care people, i know some animals look cute, and you may see them in a bad situation and could create lots of empathy, but you can't go near animals if you don't know if he has a disease.

I have been bitten thrice by street dogs and never feared rabies back then but there's this time where our town had a little "outbreak" of some sort that made me fear this virus. So there's this guy who rescued a dog from another town and brought it to ours, not much was known if it has rabies already or if it got the rabies after arriving on our town. However, this dog started the outbreak. It escaped and attacked a group of street dogs and much of the citizens ignored this, the next few days, the group of dogs suddenly attacked and it turned into some kind of "zombie situation" where it bit humans and dogs, it got so bad that a military task force have to be called to eliminate all dogs infected or not in our town. Two people were fatally bit that day, a kid who got his face bitten off and a fisherman who got bit on the throat.

[@TheKingBJ]

The Milwaukee protocol does nothing but puts you into a coma to stop the brain from taking fatal control of the body, but it's totally up to your immune system in the end if it can ever kill the viruses. The shots are the real deal, but it will only work if you get it quick enough before the virus reaches your brain through your nerves, so it only prevents the infection yet again.

My adopted dad told me the most terrifying thing he had ever had to deal with was a house cat with rabies.. they couldn’t get it outta the house cause it was losing its shit in there trying to attack and you know how cats can be.. they eventually left it in the house til it died cause they were risking their asses getting bit in a big way! This was like in the early 60s so idk how available the rabies shots were? Either way it was a bad situation.

[@dr.altoclef9255]

@@deeriggs3319 I think this was back when the post exposure protocol was like “ok we take these absurdly huge needles and give you like 30 shots in your stomach, because there’s not enough room on your arms to give it there”. By all accounts best to avoid having to go through it. Nowadays if you get bitten it’s like 5 or 6 shots…a shot of antibodies and a vaccine, then a few more doses of the vaccine every week afterwards. I had to get prevention shots before working at a vet clinic and that’s only 3 shots.

[@kidbrary]

Additional fact, any mammal and ONLY a mammal can contract rabies, so be cautious when around any wild/stray animal. If you have been bitten by a reptile, such as a lizard or non venomous snake, rabies isn’t a concern. After you have been bitten, rinse the wound and pat dry. Then clean the wound with hydrogen peroxide and apply a sterile bandaid.

[@wolmntn]

I remember when we had a bad rabies outbreak in my hometown. You would see raccoons stumbling around during the day. I was stalked by a raccoon with rabies he went around a shed and came at me from behind. I shot several it was so bad the health dept told us to double bag them and bury them or put them in the dump.

[@brandyoconnor5246]

This is spreading REALLY BAD information. Not to seem like a bitch, but the one line you stated "it was so bad they were stumbling around during the day" could potentially hurt a lot of future raccoons. It is COMPLETELY NORMAL to see raccoons during daylight as it is the most common time for mother's to forage food for their babies. If you see a Raccoon during daylight hours, don't panic or be alarmed. It's about 99% of the time just foraging. Just leave it alone, keep your distance, and go on about your day. If you see a Raccoon during day or night and it happens to be acting very strange: stumbling, wobbling, falling over, wandering in circles, ect then obviously you should call authorities and local animal control. I know I keep repeating, sorry, but once again... A raccoon out in the DAYLIGHT is totally NORMAL. Do not approach as it most likely has a litter of baby Kits VERY nearby.

[@wolmntn]

@@brandyoconnor5246 raccoons do NOT normally go out in the day. They DO when they are sick. I went through several Rabies outbreaks in ct so I know from experience what it is like. You should never go near a raccoon or any other animal in the day or night but that does not mean they go out in the daylight normally. It was so bad at one point that DEP told people to double bag the carcasses and put them in the dumpster.

[@TheNecroFisherman]

@@wolmntn Agreed. They also said stumbling too. Stumbling around is not the same as just walking. It’s more of the likes of shambling… which is a dangerous sign (very creepy too) of rabies. I’ve only seen it from videos but the way they walk is terrifying

Cremation is a common practice. Also I'm pretty sure the brain needs to be tested to detect rabies. So taking your dog out back and shooting him with a 12 gauge (while humane) is probably counterproductive to rabies detection.

[@goldenmeadows5046]

I think this Reddit post belongs here. Keep in mind I did not write what's inside the dashes. ----- Rabies. It's exceptionally common, but people just don't run into the animals that carry it often. Skunks especially, and bats. Let me paint you a picture. You go camping, and at midday you decide to take a nap in a nice little hammock. While sleeping, a tiny brown bat, in the "rage" stages of infection is fidgeting in broad daylight, uncomfortable, and thirsty (due to the hydrophobia) and you snort, startling him. He goes into attack mode. Except you're asleep, and he's a little brown bat, so weighs around 6 grams. You don't even feel him land on your bare knee, and he starts to bite. His teeth are tiny. Hardly enough to even break the skin, but he does manage to give you the equivalent of a tiny scrape that goes completely unnoticed. Rabies does not travel in your blood. In fact, a blood test won't even tell you if you've got it. (Antibody tests may be done, but are useless if you've ever been vaccinated.) You wake up, none the wiser. If you notice anything at the bite site at all, you assume you just lightly scraped it on something. The bomb has been lit, and your nervous system is the wick. The rabies will multiply along your nervous system, doing virtually no damage, and completely undetectable. You literally have NO symptoms. It may be four days, it may be a year, but the camping trip is most likely long forgotten. Then one day your back starts to ache... Or maybe you get a slight headache? At this point, you're already dead. There is no cure. (The sole caveat to this is the Milwaukee Protocol, which leaves most patients dead anyway, and the survivors mentally disabled, and is seldom done). There's no treatment. It has a 100% kill rate. Absorb that. Not a single other virus on the planet has a 100% kill rate. Only rabies. And once you're symptomatic, it's over. You're dead. So what does that look like? Your headache turns into a fever, and a general feeling of being unwell. You're fidgety. Uncomfortable. And scared. As the virus that has taken its time getting into your brain finds a vast network of nerve endings, it begins to rapidly reproduce, starting at the base of your brain... Where your "pons" is located. This is the part of the brain that controls communication between the rest of the brain and body, as well as sleep cycles. Next you become anxious. You still think you have only a mild fever, but suddenly you find yourself becoming scared, even horrified, and it doesn't occur to you that you don't know why. This is because the rabies is chewing up your amygdala. As your cerebellum becomes hot with the virus, you begin to lose muscle coordination, and balance. You think maybe it's a good idea to go to the doctor now, but assuming a doctor is smart enough to even run the tests necessary in the few days you have left on the planet, odds are they'll only be able to tell your loved ones what you died of later. You're twitchy, shaking, and scared. You have the normal fear of not knowing what's going on, but with the virus really fucking the amygdala this is amplified a hundred fold. It's around this time the hydrophobia starts. You're horribly thirsty, you just want water. But you can't drink. Every time you do, your throat clamps shut and you vomit. This has become a legitimate, active fear of water. You're thirsty, but looking at a glass of water begins to make you gag, and shy back in fear. The contradiction is hard for your hot brain to see at this point. By now, the doctors will have to put you on IVs to keep you hydrated, but even that's futile. You were dead the second you had a headache. You begin hearing things, or not hearing at all as your thalamus goes. You taste sounds, you see smells, everything starts feeling like the most horrifying acid trip anyone has ever been on. With your hippocampus long under attack, you're having trouble remembering things, especially family. You're alone, hallucinating, thirsty, confused, and absolutely, undeniably terrified. Everything scares the literal shit out of you at this point. These strange people in lab coats. These strange people standing around your bed crying, who keep trying to get you "drink something" and crying. And it's only been about a week since that little headache that you've completely forgotten. Time means nothing to you anymore. Funny enough, you now know how the bat felt when he bit you. Eventually, you slip into the "dumb rabies" phase. Your brain has started the process of shutting down. Too much of it has been turned to liquid virus. Your face droops. You drool. You're all but unaware of what's around you. A sudden noise or light might startle you, but for the most part, it's all you can do to just stare at the ground. You haven't really slept for about 72 hours. Then you die. Always, you die. And there's not one... fucking... thing... anyone can do for you. Then there's the question of what to do with your corpse. I mean, sure, burying it is the right thing to do. But the fucking virus can survive in a corpse for years. You could kill every rabid animal on the planet today, and if two years from now, some moist, preserved, rotten hunk of used-to-be brain gets eaten by an animal, it starts all over. ------ Rabies has an almost 100% mortality rate and there is no cure. Once you show symptoms, even just a slight fever, you will almost certainly die. There are approximately 59 thousand deaths annually worldwide and the family that contains the most common cause of rabies (Rabies lyssavirus) also contains at least fourteen other species of viruses that can potentially cause rabies. ANY warm-blooded mammal (including but not limited to skunks, bats, foxes, coyotes, racoons, and even herbivorous species such as deer and elk) is a possible carrier and if you are bitten should be treated as if it's confirmed to already be infected unless proven otherwise. It is MUCH better to get vaccinated and treated because you've assumed the animal is infected already than to be wrong and dead. Let me say this again. Rabies has an almost 100% mortality rate. For comparison, the Black Death (the same disease that killed about a third of the European population in 1347) has a mortality rate of just 10% with treatment. That means that if 1000 people got Rabies and 1000 people with the Plague were given treatment, only about 100 of the plague patients would die while every single Rabies patient would be dead, and most would die within the week that symptoms started. Get you and your pets vaccinated. Don't let your cats or dogs outside unsupervised without a fence. Make sure your dog has tags that can identify it, and for the love of God, go to the doctor if you get bitten by any warm-blooded mammal. Something else important: having no symptoms in the first 10 days since a bite won't make you safe. Rabies can incubate for YEARS before you ever show symptoms, and by that point, you're already dead. While rare, it's better to be safe than in the morgue.

[@WadeAlma]

After a certain point it destroys you so significantly you collapse. But they are definitely aggressive.

[@infiltr80r]

@@WadeAlma Listless rabies is the opposite. That dog couldn't even stand, just stood in the middle of a busy city road, just staring. He fell over and when I picked him up, he didn't react at all, put him on the sidewalk and he fell over again. In a developing country, not much else you can do when the dog is so long gone. So "definitely aggressive" is just not true.

[@WadeAlma]

@@infiltr80r Three stages of rabies are recognized in dogs and other animals. The first stage is a one- to three-day period characterized by behavioral changes and is known as the prodromal stage. The second stage is the excitative stage, which lasts three to four days. It is this stage that is often known as furious rabies due to the tendency of the affected animal to be hyperreactive to external stimuli and bite at anything near. The third stage is the paralytic or dumb stage and is caused by damage to motor neurons. Incoordination is seen due to rear limb paralysis and drooling and difficulty swallowing is caused by paralysis of facial and throat muscles. This disables the host's ability to swallow, which causes saliva to pour from the mouth. This causes bites to be the most common way for the infection to spread, as the virus is most concentrated in the throat and cheeks, causing major contamination to saliva. Death is usually caused by respiratory arrest.[3]

[@infiltr80r]

@@WadeAlma Half the story. "Rabies signs are grouped into two forms-furious and paralytic (or dumb). An animal may show signs of only one type, progress from one form to the other, or show no signs other than death." In a minority of cases, there is no furious stage, as I stated. Having no furious stage is standard if the subject has had a vaccination in the past (but no longer immune).

[@WadeAlma]

@@infiltr80r But the majority show those signs and in late stages they become that way. The dog couldn't stand or walk so it was most likely in late stage rabbies. Early stage rabbies without aggression is still functional. You described a dog that cannot walk which is late stage. Also in my post it describes paralytic rabbies as the third stage of rabbies.
