Rabies Affect Cats?<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rabies symptoms in cats can quickly escalate if left untreated. The virus primarily affects the cat&#8217;s central nervous system, leading to the symptoms listed above. The disease progresses through two stages:<\/span>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prodromal Stage: This stage typically lasts for 2 to 3 days. The cat will show subtle signs like fever, behavioral changes, and anxiety.<\/span>&nbsp;<\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furious or Paralytic Stage: As the disease progresses, the cat becomes more aggressive (in the furious form) or starts to lose control of its body (paralytic form). Eventually, the cat may fall into a coma and die.<\/span>&nbsp;<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At Dr. Paws Clinic, we recommend that all cats receive rabies vaccinations as a preventive measure. Rabies is fatal once symptoms appear, so vaccination is the best way to protect your cat.

A cat can also contract rabies if it comes into contact with the saliva of an infected animal through an open wound.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you suspect your cat has been bitten or scratched by a wild animal, especially one acting strangely, it&#8217;s important to monitor your cat closely for rabies symptoms and seek immediate veterinary care.<\/span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can Rabies Be Treated in Cats?<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unfortunately, once rabies symptoms in cats appear, the disease is untreatable and fatal. However, rabies is a preventable disease through vaccination. Vaccinating your cat regularly is the best way to protect them from rabies.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At Dr. Paws Clinic, we strongly recommend annual rabies vaccinations for all cats, especially those that go outdoors or are exposed to wildlife.
