What are the symptoms of rabies? when should i see a doctor if i think i have it?

Immediately!: If you were bitten by an animal known to have rabies it is imperative you seek immediate medical attention. If you were bitten by an animal such as an unknown dog, raccoon, opossum, bat you also should seek immediate medical attention because these animals carry higher risk for rabies. Rabies can be fatal and there is an available vaccine that can be used post exposure.

Rabies: Rabies is a preventable viral disease of mammals most often transmitted through the bite of a rabid animal. The vast majority of rabies cases reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) each year occur in wild animals like raccoons, skunks, bats, and foxes. http://www.cdc.gov/rabies/index.html
