[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1182114, member: 12607"] sky, The 'Ol' Yeller' thing is overplayed. The 'furious' form of rabies is not what we typically see when rabies spills over from the wildlife reservoir(skunks and bats in my neck of the woods) into domestic animals. The 'dumb' form is more common. We diagnose rabies in skunks & bats on fairly regular basis. I've not diagnosed rabies in a cow in over a decade. There was a cluster of 4 rabid horses in SE MO a year or so back. Don't think we've had a rabid cat diagnosed in KY in over 10 years; haven't seen a rabid dog in over 5 years. Most human exposures to rabid cattle come in the form of folks shoving their hand/arm in the cow's mouth/throat, thinking they're 'choked'. 'Sexual excitement' may be a feature of rabies in bulls - and you get a change in the tenor of their vocalization; vet school professor said, it just sounds like a Brahman cow. So, for y'all in eared-cattle country... how would you know? [/QUOTE]
