Many dog owners probably know that dogs need to be vaccinated against rabies. Although the rabies vaccine has certain preventive effects, some dogs still get rabies. So, how long can these dogs with rabies live? Let's take a closer look.
      1. Symptoms of dogs with rabies.
      Although nowadays people have stricter awareness and often vaccinate their dogs, omissions can still happen, and rabies frequently occurs. What are the symptoms if a dog gets rabies? Normally, the ears stand upright and the eyeballs have red veins. The most prominent sign is that the dog will bite people on sight, acting very crazily and wildly. Therefore, if you encounter such a dog on the street, try to avoid it and do not get bitten. Although medical technology is relatively advanced now, getting bitten can still be troublesome. Everyone must pay attention to this. Additionally, if you are unfortunately bitten, you should seek medical treatment promptly. If the wound is bleeding heavily, do not stop the bleeding immediately, because the blood might wash away some of the toxins on the surface. Timely medical care is essential to ensure your safety.

      2. How to prevent it.
      Generally speaking, if a dog gets rabies, it will not live beyond five days because this disease is very severe and has an extremely high mortality rate. If it breaks out within a dog group, the death rate is almost 100%. Therefore, if you want your dog to live better, you must regularly vaccinate it against rabies. This vaccine does not provide lifelong protection with just one shot; it requires long-term administration because these viruses are quite cunning. Without regular vaccinations, outbreaks may happen. For the sake of the dog and everyone's health, make sure to vaccinate. Also, it should be noted that after giving the first vaccine injection, its effective period takes about half a month to begin, so do not take the dog out and about during this time.
      Although dogs are many people's pets nowadays, they are animals and inevitably carry certain bacteria. If the owner does not take proper precautions, it can be dangerous. To avoid rabies, good preventive measures must be taken.
