Recognizing and responding to suspected Rabies
As teachers, we must know and recognize the signs of rabies in dogs so that we can teach students and their parents.
Signs of rabies in animals:
- Behaviour changes: Dogs and other animals with rabies may act strangely. They might become aggressive without being provoked. Dogs can develop strange barking.
- Drooling: Excessive drooling or foaming at the mouth is a common sign.
- Paralysis: Rabies can cause paralysis. The dog or the domestic animal may be unable to stand or walk normally.
- Lethargy: A rabies-infected animal is weak, sleepy, and not interested in the world around it.

However, it is important to remind them that you can never rule out that a dog or other animal is infected with rabies from its appearance and behaviour alone. Always be cautious.
