Rabies from pet dogs
This disease is carried in saliva and it can be transmitted to your dog if he goes outside and gets into a tussle with an infected animal. “And anyone who thinks their pet can’t get it is wrong,” Nelson says. Surviving rabies is rare if a person develops symptoms like delirium, flu-like illness and hallucinations.
Prevention Tip: Have your pet vaccinated regularly against rabies, because it’s the best way to prevent this disease.
