Why do cats and dogs have rabies virus?

Rabies in cats may be caused by animals carrying rabies virus.

As one of the susceptible animals of rabies virus, cats are mostly infected because the virus enters the damaged skin or mucosa, which leads to it. Cats, like people, are easily scratched and bitten by dogs and cats with rabies or pathogens, which will lead to the spread of pathogens. Cats infected with rabies usually have symptoms such as photophobia, water phobia, mania and drooling, and may die within 7~ 10 days. At present, many areas in China have a policy of compulsory rabies vaccination, not only for dogs, but also for cats to prevent rabies infection. If you suspect that the cat is infected with rabies, you must not try to control the cat without authorization, and you must isolate the cat while ensuring personal safety.

Cats and dogs are not the only animals with rabies virus. Generally speaking, except dogs and cats, warm-blooded animals may carry rabies virus. The high-risk animals recommended by the World Health Organization include dogs, cats, foxes, wolves, mongooses, raccoons, skunks, bats and rodents.

Second, the most concerned issue is how the rabies virus came from. According to research, rabies virus is a bullet-shaped virus, which lived on the earth long before the birth of human beings. Dogs and cats do not produce this virus, so they are very wronged.

Third, dogs and cats are relatively susceptible to infection. This virus is also called rabies virus. This is a very complicated problem. Perhaps it has something to do with the environment in which they grew up. They are exposed to this virus more. Humans found this virus in dogs, so they named it rabies virus. Fourth, dogs and cats are not born with this virus. It should be noted that only attacking dogs and cats will spread the virus without poison.
