In many people's homes, pets, cats and dogs are the more common types of pets. And when you feed a puppy, there's a problem that cannot be ignored, rabies virus. Many know that being bitten by dogs is likely to be infected with the rabies virus and that timely rabies vaccinations are required, which could lead to death. This is the education you have received since childhood.
Recently, however, uncivilized dog-raising has taken place in some areas, once again pushing these “crazy children” in cities to the tip of the air. Is rabies really only on dogs? Does a cat have a rabies virus? Are you sure you'll die from rabies? These questions are answered at once.
Is the rabies only on dogs?
According to the rabies virus, the main way to “saliva” in animals and humans, the risk of infection is higher if it is “bited”. More commonly, the host of the virus is mammals such as bats, gills and dogs. Of these, 99 per cent were dogs. What many do not know, however, is that cats who live with rabies can also be slobbering, and can spread the virus if they are scratched with their mouths.
So, rabies aren't only in dogs, and cats can spread the virus. If you have these pets at home, maybe you should get them vaccinated in time.
Are you sure you're gonna die with the rabies?
With regard to rabies, WHO has given a figure of 100 per cent, and in our published epidemiological studies, it has been written that death rates are as high as 100 per cent. However, in our rabies prevention and control guide, reference is made to “almost 100 per cent annual mortality”. At the international level, there is a “99.99 per cent rabies mortality rate”. Is it a strict statement, or is it true? Who's the remaining 0.01%?
Indeed, there have been no cases of death after rabies. More than seven successful cases of infection have been known worldwide. These people constitute 0.01 per cent of the survival rate. The final results show, however, that although these cases do not die after infection, the neurological damage caused by the rabies virus also has a significant impact on life.
So, for ordinary people, the rabies virus either is not infected or is vaccinated as soon as possible after infection, or it is likely to face the same “deaths” as most people in the world.
According to data on infectious diseases in our country, the mortality rate from one epidemic has not yet reached as high as rabies. The number of reported rabies and mortality rates are almost equal, and most of the gaps between them are related to people abandoning treatment or leaving the hospital without a clear diagnosis, rather than to rabies' “grace”. As a result, rabies still require greater vigilance.
Do you have to be vaccinated if you get bitten and scratched?
A lot of pets are confused, my dog is always at home, walking around with little contact with other pets, and if they get bit accidentally in this case, do I have to get a vaccine? Could it be for nothing?
The fact that rabies are vaccinated also makes a distinction between real exposure to rabies.
If you're just a domestic pet and you're exposed to dog saliva without skin exposure, you don't need rabies for vaccination. Normal feeding and exposure are relatively safe. Only when people's skin is broken and exposed to saliva with rabies virus can they become infected and require vaccination.
And many ignore the point that it is not only bloodshed that requires vaccination. Even if only slight skin grinding and exposed skin is bitten, the wounds will need to be treated in a timely manner, and rabies will be vaccinated as early as possible and judged to be light exposure.
A domestic pet can be classified as severely exposed if it bites into a neurologically rich part of the hand, leg, neck, genitalia or head, whether or not hemorrhaging occurs and open wounds occur. There is a need to treat wounds with rabies and, where necessary, with anti-rabies serum.
It's a common idea to treat rabies bites rather than miss them. This is in fact to protect people's lives more safely. After all, the rabies mortality rate is almost 100 per cent, and vaccinations can significantly disrupt the health risks posed by the virus.
Finally, sharing a problem that many people have neglected, rabies vaccinations for pets.
Every year we have about 60 million rabies vaccinations, which are at the forefront of the world. But vaccines are the second highest in the world. The reason for this is that the vaccine was used in the wrong place. The rabies vaccine should be used on dogs from the perspective of “managing the sources of infection”. However, the large number of vaccines vaccinated in our country is found among the victims of bites, which also leads to unresolved roots in the host of the virus, followed by persistent energy problems.
With regard to the spread of rabies, one should address the problem at the level of good dog management through a bottom-up pay draw, and both domestic dogs and stray dogs should find a way to deal with the problem of rabies “crossing”.
