    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Medicine
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Neurology

    Background:

    • Rabies is a fatal viral disease affecting the nervous system of mammals.
    • Understanding the clinical presentation of rabies in dogs is crucial for timely diagnosis and control.
    • This study examines the presenting signs and diagnostic features of rabies in a cohort of dogs.

    Observation:

    • Nineteen dogs diagnosed with rabies were observed from presentation to death.
    • Clinical signs varied, with paralytic and abnormal behaviors being more common than viciousness.
    • Six dogs in the study had prior vaccination with the Flury strain LEP vaccine.

    Findings:

    • Rabies was laboratory-confirmed in all 19 dogs.
    • "Dumb" rabies (paralytic/abnormal behavior) was observed more frequently than the "furious" form.
    • Intense conjunctival congestion emerged as a significant diagnostic indicator.

    Implications:

    • The findings highlight the diverse clinical spectrum of rabies in dogs.
    • Recognizing "dumb" rabies signs and conjunctival congestion can aid early diagnosis.
    • This information is vital for veterinary professionals managing potential rabies outbreaks.
