Rabies antigen ag rapid test for dogs cats

Rabies test for dogs

Rabies test for dogs is a rapid antigen test kit. Rabies is an acute, fatal neurological disease caused by the rabies virus (RBV). When an infected animal bites a person, the rabies virus in the teeth and saliva invades the human body. Cats carrying the rabies virus are usually more manic, irritable, love to bite, bark, and behave abnormally. Typical symptoms of rabies in dogs include increased excitability, fear of water, difficulty swallowing, muscle spasms, and respiratory failure. After human infection, it usually lasts for 1-3 days and manifests as fever accompanied by hyperactivity, disorientation, hallucinations, spasms, strange behavior, and neck stiffness. The mortality rate is almost 100%. There is currently no specific drug treatment, so it is necessary to strengthen prevention and monitor your pets at any time to protect your own health.
