Did you know that foxes commonly carry the rabies (狂犬病) virus? Foxes can have the virus and appear not to be sick themselves. The main danger to us is when a rabid fox bites a dog, or a dog eats a fox with the virus.
Rabies is a fatal virus that is most commonly transmitted by the saliva (唾液) of an infected animal. Foxes are the most common reason our pets get sick with rabies, and once an animal has rabies, there is no cure.
Signs of rabies in animals include: sudden changes in behavior, difficulty moving, problems swallowing, increased drooling, aggression, and not eating.
Human exposure is most likely because of a bite or scratch from an infected animal. If a human is exposed to rabies, immediate medical attention is very important in all cases of potential exposure because rabies is lethal (致命的) in humans if not treated. The first step in treatment is to immediately wash the site with lots of soap and water, which is perhaps the most effective way to prevent the transmission of rabies when an exposure has occurred.
If you suspect an animal could be carrying the rabies virus and the animal is killed, the head must remain complete and undamaged so that the specimen can be analyzed for rabies. There must be enough undamaged tissue located in the head to perform the tests.
Dogs and cats need to be vaccinated (接种疫苗) against rabies at the first opportunity after 12 weeks of age. After the first rabies vaccine is given, regardless of the animal’s age, a booster (加强剂) must be given approximately 12 months later. Afterwards, the animal should be given rabies vaccine at least every three years.
