TheMrturn1 but yet humans have to suffer and dont have the option of being put to sleep. They just have to suffer until the disease itself kills them. Terrible time we live in where animals are being treated more humanely than our fellow human

I've written that very comment on many rabies videos out on KZfaq. You're absolutely right. It's awful that we strap humans down to fully experience every last drop and moment of agony rabies had to offer... while animals enjoy the sweet relief of euthanasia.

Yomama Bin Fartin you are SO RIGHT we take better care of dogs than we do people we need dignitas, dr Kervorkian, etc

It depends; some country permit euthanasia. It is sad for those who don't. There's videos here on youtube of infants strapped down, foaming, breathing heavily, and dying...Heartbreaking.

Yomama Bin Fartin The thing is that this dog was already dying a horrifying death from a highly contagious disease with a 100% mortality rate, so, it was an absolute necessity to euthanize him so he didn't spread the disease any more than he already had. Human euthanasia is different because a human life has more value than that of an animal, and, sometimes, people live through things when it was thought that they were going to die. My great uncle was offered this when he was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer, and he refused, saying he still had a lot of things on his bucket list. He prayed, meditated, read the Bible, ate well, quit smoking, worked his tree farm every day, and had very aggressive treatments. By his six month check-up, he was completely cancer-free. Guess what he did? He traveled all over the world, and even went skydiving before his cancer came back 10 years later, when he died with dignity in his sleep surrounded by loved ones.

Yeah.

them who will control the population... (life system of nature)

millie williams I thought distemper is incurable

No, but being this advanced, this particular instance probably is probably fatal. dogtime.com/dog-health/general/307-distemper

Distemper can be cured.

Either way it was rabies

the dog must of had distemper becuase no foaming at the mouth or any wounds from biting itself

scottishserin GAYEEEEEE!!

Onions on everything lmao

Your so beautiful

This is one of the reasons we control the raccoon population and tell authorities if we see a sick raccoon since they are the main carrier of the disease. This is contagious and I would rather put do a raccoon than a pet.

Rabies, sadly, is not treatable even in early stages. By the time symptoms start showing up, it’s too late….you have to be vaccinated immediately after you’re exposed.

Hydrophobia is fear of swallowing not dry mouth

@@joanbaczek2575 why are you replying to a comment I made three years ago

NA suzy Q thats what i was wondering too

Check out the vids from India it’s shocking

There are two forms of rabies. The one you are thinking of is I think Rage Form.

And I think your no Vet.

Amber Blyledge there is only one forme of rabies

Foxy011 If the Doc doesn’t have any cuts on his skin he’s okay. He’s careful.

Hopefully

I don't want anything suffering like this even if I hated them this is bad #norabies

There are vaccines against distemper, but without it, it's fairly simple to spread through things like contact with an infected dogs food(ie then sneezing or drooling in it, fresh urine, blood, even water dishes they have used. It's a very harsh virus, as there's no medication for treatment yet, and they can only do things to help support the dog as it fits it(fluids, nutrients, antibiotics and the like to help prevent secondary infections). Some dogs will survive it, but quite a few don't. There is actually a stray rescue group near my town that is fighting off distemper in it's kennel systems. It's decent amount of work and sterilizing once you have it to get rid of it. But for this case I think Micha believes(or tested) and found the dog to have Rabies, which unless is caught at the right time is fatal.

Thank you, it breaks my heart to see a young dog put to sleep... only because his owner could not afford the vaccine.

It's highly likely that this was just a stray dog, and happened to be outside these people's home when they contacted Micha about it. There are lots of strays in Gambia.

A virus

There are symptom related tests, but the only proper diagnosis is via tests on the brain post-mortem

I'm pretty sure they vaccinate regularly

@@untilm figured as much. thanks!

I have a dog too and im guarding him because of this even if i will be required to get bitten instead of my dog because I love my dog so much I can’t let him get bitten

gksweetmimi well since he had rabies he couldn't have a meal ESPECIALLY water

@@shitpeoplesay8887 EXACTLY

roselle amorganda do you know that he was bitten by a rabid dog for sure? what symptoms does he show? is he vaccinated?
