Early Signs of Rabies in Dogs—Catch It Early

Rabies is close to 100% fatal and dogs are the main source, so early recognition saves lives. The first 1–3 days—the prodrome—bring a personality flip, aimless pacing, trouble swallowing and drooling, a changed voice, and fear of light and sound. If you see these, especially after a recent bite or scratch, isolate the dog, call your health authority and a vet for at-home assessment, and get any exposed people vaccinated at once. Prevention is vaccination, leashing, and prompt wound care.
