If you think your pet has been exposed, and your pet is not current on their rabies vaccination, call your veterinarian. You are safest if you avoid all contact with wild animals. To answer your question about the signs/symptoms -- animals with rabies may act differently from healthy animals (but if varies from animal to animal so if you are worried that your pet may have been exposed, call your vet). Wild animals may move slowly or may act as if they are tame. A pet that is usually friendly may snap at you or may try to bite. Some signs of rabies in animals are: changes in behavior; general sickness; problems swallowing; increased drooling; aggression. Remember, though, it's best not to have any contact with wild animals.
