Description
Rabies is a kind of acute encephalitis caused by rabies virus infection, the main clinical manifestations of acute infection symptoms of the central nervous system, the death rate is almost as high as 100%.
Clinical symptoms and pathological changes of rabies
The incubation period of canine rabies is about 2~8 weeks, and the performance time of the relevant symptoms has a close relationship with the site of infection, and the closer the site of infection is to the brain, the faster the symptoms appear. Sick dogs often show walking back and forth, ears up, biting at intervals, strong reflex excitability, and more sensitive to any external sound, with a big or small appetite, accompanied by a rise in body temperature and other symptoms.
After 2~4 days, the sick dog’s appetite decreases significantly, abnormal excitement or abnormal depression symptoms appear, there is high aggressiveness to the surrounding things, gnawing and biting, and blurred consciousness. With the gradual prolongation of the disease time, the sick dog will enter the paralysis stage, lying on the ground, and eventually suffocated to death.
The autopsy of the dead dog reveals that its throat is seriously congested, and other organs are also congested to varying degrees. The diagnosis of the disease is mainly based on the clinical symptoms, medical history and laboratory test results of the sick dog.
