Episode 11 covers the rabies virus and it's effect on both animals and people. Rabies is a fatal, zoonotic disease of animals and humans. Most people are exposed by bats or cats, especially stray cats. Animals that are infected with the rabies virus will express bizzare behavioral signs, sometimes being aggressive and biting/attacking people and other animals or animals will be more quiet, may stagger about and can vocalize. Do not interact with wild animals, especially animals behaving abnormally.

If your pet appears to be behaving bizarrely then please call your veterinarian.

Also critically important is to keep your pet up to date on the rabies vaccine.
