Anything For Animals

A Natural Treatment for Rabies?

The simple answer is ‘No’.

There isn’t even a chemical treatment for rabies that any medical body would recommend for animals due to the risk to humans.

Basically, it is such a dangerous and difficult to treat disease, that there is no point risking an outbreak of any kind, so the animal must be kept totally isolated until it’s death.

If you suspect and animal as having rabies, you should always report this immediately to a vet or the police at any time day or night. The risk to humans and other animals is just to great, and if the virus gets into domestic animals, then everyone is at risk, including other wildlife, pets, livestock and, of course, you.

As the virus may be present in saliva before these signs develop it is very important to isolate animals which have been bitten and observe them.

The Ministry of Agriculture Fisheries and Food (MAFF) in the UK and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention(CDC) in the US must always be called if there is a suspected case of Rabies. The dog, cat, bat or other animal will be humanely destroyed to protect the brain, and the head is sent to the labs for investigation.

There is no ’safest rabies vaccine for cats or dogs’, there is only one rabies vaccine, and the only way to prevent your pet getting rabies is to vaccinate it.
