People who raise cats and dogs are most afraid of being bitten, and the biggest fear of being bitten is rabies. Therefore, domestic cats and dogs must be vaccinated regularly. Cats and dogs suffering from rabies are incurable and must be killed in time. Today, the editor of Boqi.com will tell you about the symptoms of rabies in cats. Do you know how to treat rabies in cats?

First of all, we need to popularize the science of rabies. Rabies is an acute infectious disease that attacks the central nervous system, and all warm-blooded animals, including humans, may be infected. It is mainly transmitted through bites or scratches from infected animals. Its clinical manifestations include fear of water, fear of wind, pharyngeal muscle spasm, and progressive paralysis. Secondly, rabies is not exclusive to dogs. Although it is called rabies, cats may also be infected. So what are the symptoms of rabies in cats?

Cats infected with rabies will not show symptoms immediately. It takes two to five weeks for the disease to spread in the cat and symptoms to appear. Infected cats can be particularly aggressive toward people or other animals, even dead animals. They usually appear nervous and have a strong urge to bite and scratch at any animal (moving object). They may run or pace until they cannot support themselves and collapse. If a cat infected with rabies can survive for 5 days, the symptoms will generally turn into paralysis and the manic symptoms will disappear. At this time, the infected cat will suffer from paralysis of the lower body, uncoordinated movements, coma and death. The symptoms of rabies in cats have the following four stages:

1. Early stage

Cats may have abnormal behaviors such as fatigue or hyperactivity, which may appear as follows: Sudden changes in temper or lifestyle habits.

2. Middle stage

The cat wanders around, moves unconsciously, is indifferent to its owner, and has a slight breathing sound similar to "Hehe..." (mainly Caused by strong salivary gland secretion and facial/pharyngeal muscle spasm) looking into the sky, biting...howling...

3. Terminal stage

Cats are afraid of Water... fear of sound... fear of light... fear of odor... random muscle spasms throughout the body, salivation, and increased aggression in most cats.

4. Death period

The spirit turns to a depressed state, most of the limbs become rigid, difficulty breathing, foaming at the mouth, multiple organ failure throughout the body and death/respiratory depression is also present dead.

Finally, the editor would like to remind everyone. Feline rabies (details) is not a common disease, but it is fatal. It may also lead to some secondary diseases, such as respiratory infections and kidney failure. If you find that your cat has the above symptoms, you must take appropriate measures in time.
