I agree with Doc Begely. Let's call it off as rabies.

Well, that definitely wasn't the smartest thing to do. Rule number one of doctor-hood: never jump to conclusions. In cases such as this, it is wise to test all possibilities for a wide range of diseases. A good number of diseases can be mistaken for others with similar symptoms. Next time play it safe, a good doctor checks and double checks, especially in possible viral situations.
