It may only take a few days. There are stages to rabies:
The Prodromal Phase
During this initial phase, which lasts just a few days, the disease produces very subtle changes that may be easy to miss, including:
* Loss of appetite
* Lethargy
* Intermittent fever
* Slight changes in behavior such as irritability or the desire to be left alone
The "mad Dog" Phase
This phase, which typically lasts less than a week, is the most frightening one because it is then that the classic horrible symptoms of the disease are most likely to occur, although it should be noted that not every animal stricken with rabies appears to pass through the mad dog phase. some humans and animals skip these rabies symptoms completely and move straight to phase three, the paralytic stage.
Rabies symptoms for the mad dog phase may include:
* Lack of coordination, irregular muscle movements, and/or seizures
* Aggressive behavior toward objects and other creatures
* Restlessness and roaming aimlessly from one location to the next without a discernible purpose
* Disorientation and lack of recognition for familiar people and places
* Lack of fear toward natural predators
The Paralytic Phase
In this final and fatal stage of the disease, affected humans and animals display the following symptoms.
* Foaming at the mouth. this symptom is caused by the growing paralysis of the throat and jaw muscles, which makes it very difficult to swallow saliva. consequently, most animals will also refuse food and water completely at this stage.
* Slack jawed appearance, which can also be attributed to progressing paralysis.
* full bodily paralysis that results in death.
just an IMPORTANT NOTE:!!! Rabies CAN and DOES lie dormant for possibly years, always transferable.
