Rabies in dogs can be diagnosed by ante-mortem examination that plays an important role in early identification of infection in dogs. An unvaccinated 4 month old male dog was admitted in Teaching Veterinary Clinical Complex at Madras Veterinary College with the clinical symptoms of respiratory distress, paresis, anorectic hyperesthesia, relaxed rectal sphincter, hypothermia, congested mucous membrane, frothy salivation, brownish diarrhoea. It was suspected for Rabies and was admitted in the rabies ward unit. The dog was screened for rabies viral antigen in salivary smear and corneal impression smears and confirmed for rabies by FAT in ante-mortem examination. After 2 days, death of animal was confirmed for rabies by post-mortem examination by Williams Modified Van Gieson’s Staining method. The results confirmed the presence of rabies in that animal.
