Rabies is a deadliest disease of animals especially dogs. There are two forms, one is Dumb and the other is furious form. The dumb form comes with symptoms like hypersalivation, hyperasthesia and mainly a dropped jaw condition which is due to paralysis of tongue. The furious form is quite dangerous as an affected animal has the biting tendency which is most of the times is unprovoked. Hypersalivation and hyperasthesia is also seen in case of furious form.

Thank you ma'am. Please let me know about canine distemper.
Dr. Tajunnisa M
Canine distemper is a highly infectious, systemic, viral disease of dogs. Affected ones commonly exhibit systemic clinical signs like fever, lethargy and loss of appetite. The respiratory signs like nasal discharge, pneumonia are also seen. The GI signs include diarrhea variably followed by neurologic signs like muscle twitching, focal or generalized seizures, which may be seen as the last stage.
Dr. Tajunnisa M
Both are highly contagious diseases and the vaccination here plays an important role. Hence, it's advisable to get your pets vaccinated annually/routinely. The post bite anti rabies vaccination in animals is as important as in human beings. A dog bite, be it provoked or unprovoked should never be ignored.

The incubation period in case of rabies is said to be 3 to 10 days but it varies with the site of bite. The symptoms are shown up after the above said period.

Okay Ma'am.
Dr. Tajunnisa M
The incubation period of Canine Distemper varies from 7 days to 1. 5 to 2 months, which depends on virus strain. Once the incubation period is over, the symptoms are shown by the affected animal.

What is the recommended frequency for giving bath to golden retrievers? I give it once in a week. Some say not more than once in 2 weeks as it might affect her skin.

My dog is 9.5 years old (will be 10 this June). On late feb he fell severely sick (unable to walk/get up, not eating or drinking). He put his head down and started walking circles, wall pressing, not sitting or sleeping and behaving very unusual and we took him to vet immediately. It's been almost a month and he still shows symptoms like this. At first the doctor told it's ckd and he got better after a course of anti biotics. But the same symptoms of walking in circles, head stumbling and lack of sleep is back again. This time the vet suspects it's vestibular problem. Idk what's wrong with him. Any clue on what might be happening or what i should be expecting from the vet and the situation?
