I was once a doctor at a National Medical Center for Infectious diseases. We often have people admitted with rabies due to cats and dogs bite. The most prominent symptom is aerophobia and hydrophobia. They are usually normal looking in the early stages with occasional spasm. You can even have rational conversation with them. But eventually the damages in the brain progress eventually causing stupor, coma and death. The fox might have felt a gust of wind to his face causing those painful spasms.
I saw a video of a human with rabies, and I really wish I hadn't. I can't imagine witnessing it firsthand. Thank you for working to help people in that setting.
@@jeffreylebowski2440 once they are sick from it, you can't. With ICU extensive care, a couple of people have survived, but treatment is usually palliative. If they are exposed but not yet sic, post exposure prophylaxis injections save them. Unfortunately, people in developing countries don't have access to that. Programs to vaccinate dogs against it can reduce human exposure.
@@jeffreylebowski2440 vaccines, that’s why rabies is not as feared as it once was, even after being bit, you will almost certainly be saved if you get vaccinated within 48 hours, but like the guy above me said, people that get rabies live in isolated areas or had no knowledge that a wild animal can give them rabies.
What i find most strange here is how the fox goes from spazzing out and seizers to fairly normal motor control, it perks its ears up when he knocks on the window, and appears to be sniffing ground and pacing but without tripping on itself....totally alert. Then spazzes out. The concern I'd have is the fox behaving in a normal manner and approaching (yes i know that in itself is concerning) before the more tell tale signs of the disease appear.
Btw, Hanley, that behavior where its snapping its mouth, that's called "fly biting" which is one of the clinical symptoms shown in canines that are rabid. That's not to mention the catatonic spell. It heard the knocking and it locked it into place. It's heightened aggression made it unsure what to strike out at. Even noise is reacted to as if it's an attack on their senses. There's a vid of a rabid dog on a chain that's flashing its fangs every time the wind blows on it or it hears a honk in the street, it was standing still and stiff just like that.
these are the early signs of rabies. the fox has a majority of brain function still, rabies hasn't fully taken over and started killing him/her from the seems of it, it just started to develop the phobia of air and water. (why its tilting its head back and jolting, a lot of that isn't actually a seizure but the body panicking thinking water is going to enter the lungs causing dry drowning.) the way rabies work is they are only active and able to grow inside the brain, they can survive in the blood stream but cannot grow or multiply, but as soon as its past the blood brain barrier you're pretty much toast. once its in the brain is when the fear of air and water start. its so sad imagine walking, being all normal then suddenly, worlds strongest panic attack because breathing scares you, not breathing scares you, swallowing scares you, and you become confused and disoriented. that's a lot of stress. which could also be a reason for the jolting, i shake violently when I'm really stressed emotional or physical. and sadly that's only the first noticeable signs besides lots of drool. because fun fact rabies is only spread by spit, so even if a dog with rabies barked at you, and that spit landed in your mouth, you're 100% at risk of possibly catching rabies. the seizures are a lot more common once they're pretty much on death bed, and a lot of the time the seizures will result in the death of the animal. so what we witnessed here (i could be wrong but from what i've read) he/she wasn't seizing or spazzing, (in a way) he/she is manly panicking because the 2 most important things to live, now scare him/her
I think you are right about it not being rabies. It looks more like canine distemper virus. Once symptoms onsets, rabies will begin to paralyze its host, causing the stumbling after spasms. However, this one is quite lucid after spasms. It looks more like canine distemper virus. Especially since it had full control of its legs and tail.
I call that a zombify/reanimating process of the virus. Notice after the twitching stopped, it goes zombie mode walking normally searching for anything it could bite/infect to.
Dayum! I have started just now to be aware of rabies. Twice I have been very close to a fox maybe three times as well the recent ten years. 2/3 times in the middle of my village. Now that I am more aware rabies I look back to the most scary meeting. The fox and me met on the main road. I thought to myself, well, the fox need to change direction coz I am not going to. The fox took a left turn 10 feet in front of me. When I think back if that fox had rabies, he could off attacked me but of course I'd go to see the doctor right away if I were biten. Pardon my English.
Here's a list of signs/symptoms of rabies that get expressed in canines. They can have 1 or numerous signs. The catatonia and fly-snapping behaviors of the fox in this vid here are both on the list in this vid. It's telling that rabies transmitted by dogs is a thing way in the past in the Western world, but in the Old World, dogs are still the most common vector for transfer. Feral dogs are generally swept up as soon as possible in the US and richer Latin Amer nations (generally), whereas everywhere else in the Old World and the 2nd and 3rd World, they have feral dogs running around all over the place. US troops coming back from Iraq frequently cited the vicious dogs that were everywhere. In the New World, dogs have been replaced by bats as the top cause (poorer Latin American countries, especially). ua-cam.com/video/PTCUNn56Fpo/v-deo.html
@lordofthetrolls Oh God no! I know a fresh goat eat just anything in the natural habitat. They eat the lichen of stones. I won't be surprised if they eat from both thorn bushes and cactus. Pardon my English.

It is very difficult to diagnose rabies by watching a video. Other inflictions such as epilepsy, canine distemper, bacterial and/or viral infections are also common in wild animals. Until it has been tested and confirmed, you can't say for sure.
exactly. we have had distemper outbreaks in both raccoons and foxes and they acted like this. so did one that was hit by a car but recovered, except for some kind of neurological damage. I saw him on the woods with his fox family for 4 years, occasionally acting this way and sometimes much worse, but he would shake it off and back to normal. none of the other foxes acted like this and never got rabies. poisoning can also cause animals to act like they have rabies including frothing at the mouth.People are very quick to come to conclusions.
@@pattiannepascual: Thank you very much for saying what I was thinking and because it happened to a dog in my village. **It was a midsize terrier, very brave and territorial with it's owners family and stuff, but some how ppl. find it in the back of their house, twitching, mouth foaming, shaking like yellow, 〰️➿🐕➿〰️ and many quickly say **it's rabied, let's kill it.** Just a few say it was poisoned.

I don't know the signs of distemper but its actions after 1:41 are signs of rabis. Head twitch (or seizure), arching or neck and or spine backward, mouth movements indication reflex to paralysis of throat muscles (usually also causes excessive salivation or "foaming of the mouth", movies usually exaggerate this as foaming of the mouth).

All of that ground where that fox shook that drool out is contaminated. It’s contagious until it’s “dry.” Room temp a couple of hours. That was outside in the cold so I don’t know how long. If you’re video taping a rabid animal make sure you’re out of the range of a slobber shake. I can’t think of a dignified way to word it but you don’t want to get that stuff on you. It can infect you without you being bit. Everyone should spend just a couple minutes learning what a rabid animal looks like.

The creepiest part is how you can just see when it is about to lose control. Everything goes stiff and it just stands there, not even moving, and then the takeover in the brain begins and it starts shaking ..... and then... it's as if it is a different animal all together.
Yes. And, more importantly, stop the threat and spread of infection. Not funny at all if your kids are outside playing. I wouldn't be knocking on any glass doors and playing around.
If possible you should of dispatched the animal so it doesnt potentially harm somthing else. Not always an option, but it's more humane then it suffering.
1:50 I feel like when it does that, same with that one raccoon that did that, it looks like it’s just trying to swallow its salvia and ends up spitting it out.
The head shaking towards the sky and licking is usually a go-to sign for rabies, also the foam that sprays when it shakes its mouth. I’m not an expert, I just know those are symptoms usually associated with rabies. It’s possible that this particular fox has something similar like distemper, which also causes seizures.
Yes, this animal shows definitely all signs of rabies. Gruesome! But without rabies this would be a very beautiful animal. Where is that? I only know the european red fox. What a kind of fox is that? It looks more like a jackal to me.
Fuck rabies. It sucks that such beautiful animals have to suffer from it because of garbage bats. Dogs, cats, raccoons, foxes, wolfs, and so many others suffer because of those damn flying night rats.
I don't understand if you know the Fox is rabid, and wandering around your yard and the woods from the other video oh, why no one has call Animal Control to determine whether or not it has rabies and to capture it and is it is rabid to humanely put it down and if it is not rabid let it live and leave it alone. How can you just sit in your house with your fancy camera in film a suffering animal and do nothing? I don't understand at all.
You cannot test a live animal for rabies, however if the animal has not bitten anyone it is standard procedure to contain the animal and observe it for a period of 10 days. If no signs appear the animal can be released.. However that obviously is not the case with this fox because she's exhibiting severe symptoms already.
There is no testing for rabies in animals. You diagnose it by observation. The video aides in observation. And if there is a rabid animal wandering around outside your house then you should ABSOLUTELY "just sit in your house" where you don't risk being infected yourself.
I agree with the replies but I think the main point of the OP was why haven’t they contacted animal control to atleast contain the animal since it’s likely to infect others.
Yap, this fox has hydrophobia (rabies). That head twitch is a dead give away for its trying to swallow but it cannot for the disease prevents swallowing, prime reason for froth-mouth.
You’d think the county would step in… animal control? I don’t know. I’ve had a farm and wild animals around me before and I’ve never seen this! I must be under a rock! When I think rabies I think Old Yeller.. that’s it. How sad.
I have a cat that is 12 years old and gets vaccinated for rabies by a veterinarian and my cat does something like this from time to time. It just looks like a strange series of sneezes but not exactly. I pet and comfort him when he does it. This cat has had a couple of surgeries to have sarcomas removed and he also has something that seems like asthma. Vet gave him meds but he still wheezes now and then. Had no idea the weird sneezing fits could be seizures but they resemble what this fox is doing so maybe they are since some in th comments are calling it a seizure. I just wanted to share info about my cat. He came from the Humane Society and had all his vaccinations including rabies and we keep his rabies vaccination up to date so maybe what's going on here is not that.
I saw that part of The Thing the other day (the 1982 version) on telly. Rob Bottin of The Howling 1 (1981) and Legend (w/ Tom Cruise, 1985) and Twilight Zone: The Movie (1983) was the creature FX guru for The Thing. The early 80s was the heyday of practical FX w/ gurus like Rick Baker and Bottin at the top of the industry. Now CGI is all studios wanna bother with.
Please the world already knows what rabies looks like, don’t allow the animal to suffer if you have the choice. This is an absolutely catastrophic way to die.
do NOT approach a rabid animal under any circumstance. call animal control. even if you manage to shoot the animal, you're not going to be a hero, you're going to be an idiot covered in rabies-positive saliva and blood!
@@touyatodoroki7935 if you shoot it from far enough away there's zero chance of blood or saliva going anywhere near you. I'm not saying walk right up to it and check, then step a step back and blow its head off. That's fucking stupid.
Yes, animal was confused, produces lots of saliva, performed classic symptom of "air biting", and seemed to lack fear that they would normally have. That fox is rabid.
nope that was rabies 100%. If you see anything similar back away slowly. Don't run that will trigger their chase instinct. And if you get bit goto the emergency room IMMEDIATELY!
When it was shaking it’s head about. You can see all the saliva it spitting around. If other foxes or animals were around they could have gotten infected too.

as the fox shows, we can see a lots of saliva! this is rabids.. and not a car seisure or anything like that.
Plus if it WASN'T infected that banging on the window and seeing him likely would have scared it off.
This is a wild animal. They don't live long in the wild with seizures cause predators see it as opportunity.
And the twitching going on in the head that's the disease attacking the nerves
Would make sense for you to confuse it with a seizure

Ohm starting to have seizures.
Poor thing 😭
A part of me, a big part of me, was hoping the fox got a sudden surge of strength and smashed through the window. tap tap tap!
Me too and bite that annoying jackass fingers off.
there are a million reasons an animal can have a seizure. what here tells us it's indicative of rabies?
The head shaking towards the sky and licking is usually a go-to sign for rabies, also the foam that sprays when it shakes its mouth. I’m not an expert, I just know those are symptoms usually associated with rabies. It’s possible that this particular fox has something similar like distemper, which also causes seizures.
Yes, this animal shows definitely all signs of rabies. Gruesome! But without rabies this would be a very beautiful animal. Where is that? I only know the european red fox. What a kind of fox is that? It looks more like a jackal to me.
Grey Fox Common throughout Eastern North America
How did you know that fox was rabid?? No symptoms were clear
Exactly what I’m thinking!

Жаль лису😢
You don't know if they have rabies without a test
did we not watch the same video?
@@anthonylombardo4829 distemper has a lot of the same symptoms ask any vet
Such a horrible horrible illness.
Pity.
It was impersonating Donald Trump about the election being rigged and started laughing it looked like he had rabies.
Go pet it, it looks pretty tame
He can't the fox has rabies if he goes out there he is gonna get bit by the fox making him have rabies also
I think he was being sarcastic?? Hopefully anyways.
... choot-em... !!!
-Time for the 12Gauge.
*(or 10Gauge)*
1 of many reasons to own guns
Rabies
Rip
Fuck rabies. It sucks that such beautiful animals have to suffer from it because of garbage bats.
Dogs, cats, raccoons, foxes, wolfs, and so many others suffer because of those damn flying night rats.
Bats suffer from the symptoms too, and also it's the bats flying during the day time you must worry about.
@@kamrynrist6049 thank you for sharing this info… really. 😊
انت ماكر .. بس مش عارف تمكر
warning--turn off sound
Not rabid.
1:30 he is shaking his head like he is bad like a seizure it's a symptom for rabies
I don't understand if you know the Fox is rabid, and wandering around your yard and the woods from the other video oh, why no one has call Animal Control to determine whether or not it has rabies and to capture it and is it is rabid to humanely put it down and if it is not rabid let it live and leave it alone. How can you just sit in your house with your fancy camera in film a suffering animal and do nothing? I don't understand at all.
You can't test a live animal for rabies the the test only comes from a brain tissue sample.
You cannot test a live animal for rabies, however if the animal has not bitten anyone it is standard procedure to contain the animal and observe it for a period of 10 days. If no signs appear the animal can be released.. However that obviously is not the case with this fox because she's exhibiting severe symptoms already.
There is no testing for rabies in animals. You diagnose it by observation. The video aides in observation. And if there is a rabid animal wandering around outside your house then you should ABSOLUTELY "just sit in your house" where you don't risk being infected yourself.
I agree with the replies but I think the main point of the OP was why haven’t they contacted animal control to atleast contain the animal since it’s likely to infect others.
@@DanksterPaws Why do you assume they haven't contacted animal control?
If that’s snow on the ground then it must be winter and if that’s so how can the fox have rabies. Rabies doesn’t run in wild animals in the winter
They get it 365/24
Thats the same logic as “covid will go away in april because its hot”
@@DanksterPaws lmao 🤣 right!!!
You know the video is old when you can hear zoom
such a beautiful little fox. he is at peace now, and no longer suffering ♥️
Could have been canine distemper the symptoms for canine distemper and rabies are basically identical
1:29 sezuire..
That's a Grey fox cousin of RedFox try & get him help instead of worrying about you taping him in pain what's wrong with people??
Yap, this fox has hydrophobia (rabies). That head twitch is a dead give away for its trying to swallow but it cannot for the disease prevents swallowing, prime reason for froth-mouth.
Doesn't even know which way is up. .44 time!
Damn how many rabid foxes do you have around there? I'd think about moving
You’d think the county would step in… animal control? I don’t know. I’ve had a farm and wild animals around me before and I’ve never seen this! I must be under a rock! When I think rabies I think Old Yeller.. that’s it. How sad.
Poor thing. If animal control couldn’t do something quickly in this instance then a much quicker humane solution should happen ......... ⚛️☮️🌏
I have a cat that is 12 years old and gets vaccinated for rabies by a veterinarian and my cat does something like this from time to time. It just looks like a strange series of sneezes but not exactly. I pet and comfort him when he does it. This cat has had a couple of surgeries to have sarcomas removed and he also has something that seems like asthma. Vet gave him meds but he still wheezes now and then.
Had no idea the weird sneezing fits could be seizures but they resemble what this fox is doing so maybe they are since some in th comments are calling it a seizure.
I just wanted to share info about my cat. He came from the Humane Society and had all his vaccinations including rabies and we keep his rabies vaccination up to date so maybe what's going on here is not that.
I was looking for this type of comment!!! That’s totally a possibility.
Maybe feline distemper?
Plot twist: He tries to find where his friend the Little prince is.
That's why he looks to the sky.
See the human rabies commented , so unpredictable
Right before The Thing changes. Poor little guy.
I saw that part of The Thing the other day (the 1982 version) on telly. Rob Bottin of The Howling 1 (1981) and Legend (w/ Tom Cruise, 1985) and Twilight Zone: The Movie (1983) was the creature FX guru for The Thing. The early 80s was the heyday of practical FX w/ gurus like Rick Baker and Bottin at the top of the industry. Now CGI is all studios wanna bother with.
Please the world already knows what rabies looks like, don’t allow the animal to suffer if you have the choice. This is an absolutely catastrophic way to die.
do NOT approach a rabid animal under any circumstance. call animal control. even if you manage to shoot the animal, you're not going to be a hero, you're going to be an idiot covered in rabies-positive saliva and blood!
@@touyatodoroki7935 if you shoot it from far enough away there's zero chance of blood or saliva going anywhere near you. I'm not saying walk right up to it and check, then step a step back and blow its head off. That's fucking stupid.
Unfortunately many don’t know what it looks like
its sad im watching this to get away from the horrors happening in canada right now
Man its so sad to watch. Such a nasty nasty disease.
are u sure he wasn't just having a seizure or sneezing?
Yes, animal was confused, produces lots of saliva, performed classic symptom of "air biting", and seemed to lack fear that they would normally have. That fox is rabid.
Look closely at the foaming mouth
nope that was rabies 100%. If you see anything similar back away slowly. Don't run that will trigger their chase instinct. And if you get bit goto the emergency room IMMEDIATELY!
Seizures are a symptom of rabies
Will you take it a tissue ?
When it was shaking it’s head about. You can see all the saliva it spitting around. If other foxes or animals were around they could have gotten infected too.
