What happens if a dog has rabies?

A dog infected with rabies usually shows abnormal behaviors like stronger aggression, excitement, fear, anxiety, fatigue, and depression, often with digestive symptoms such as loss of appetite, vomiting, and diarrhea. Later, it usually develops nervous system symptoms like spasms, convulsions, foaming at the mouth, stiff jaw, and dilated pupils, plus weakness, dehydration, and rapid breathing.

Rabies is an extremely serious infectious disease that leads to death if not treated in time. In addition, rabies is a zoonotic disease; if a sick dog bites a human, it can also infect the person, threatening human health and life.
