The virus is mainly transmitted through the saliva of an infected animal. Possible signs include sudden changes in behaviour, aggression, unusual fearfulness, weakness, difficulty swallowing, excessive salivation, loss of coordination, paralysis or seizures. Once clinical symptoms appear, rabies is almost always fatal. Suspected exposure must therefore always be treated as an emergency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does the test work?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe test detects rabies virus antigen in a \u003cstrong\u003esaliva sample\u003c\/strong\u003e from your dog or cat.

Avoid direct contact with the animal's mouth and saliva and contact a vet or the relevant local authority immediately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA rapid saliva test cannot independently confirm or exclude rabies.
