A question about rabies?
My question is, Do I have rabies?
I don't exhibit any Flu like symptoms, But I do have cough, And colds. The only change with me is the cough and cold. No agitation or fear of water.
And also, What if, One day, The 2nd type symptoms start to appear, Just recently, Is it still possible to cure me?
Answer:
You asked this exact same question a week ago. If the dog is vaccinated then you are fine. If you are that worried, ask the owner to see the rabies vaccine certificate so you can put your mind at ease. Go to the website, please. I think it will help ease your mind.
If you do all of that and you still feel upset or anxious, what you need to do is to go to the doctor's, tell them all about it and get their opinion, and then get some anti-anxiety medication.
In three days if the dog is still alive and well and not showing any symptoms of rabies, then you are absolutely fine.
Here is the cdc website. Educate yourself and look into that anti-anxiety med suggestion and perhaps talk to a therapist about this!

Yes, rabies is cure-able, if you catch it soon enough. If you have the slightest worry about having it, go to the doctors, and they can check you over. If you do have it, they just give you some shots.it's not pleasant, but it's better than dieing.
Is the dog still alive?...If "yes"...you're gonna be fine...
If you answered "no"...start digging a hole!
you have no rabies.. if you got infected you will die within 24-72 hours upon acquiring the rabies.. but there are some incidences that intubation period is longer that 24-72 hours
if youre scared, go to your doctor & get an anti rabies shot.
if the dog has no symptoms of rabies you are probably ok but i believe there is no way to tell without killing the dog and testing its brain. If your friend says the dog has been vaccinated then the vet who did it should have a record to prove it and ease your fears.
consult a doctor and tell him about this.rabies is curable.so,don't worry
No, you don't have rabies.
If the dog is alive and well after 10 days, it was not rabid.
It is possible to get rabies through a lick or even a scratch. The virus is excreted in the dog's saliva. Dogs lick their own paws. Anyway, you are safe, so stop worrying.
