Early this morning, I noticed my dog was having problems. She had some sort of foam coming from her mouth and started growling at me. I tried to pet her but she bit my arm. Shes never bitten before and she also bit my dad, mom, and infant child. Well tonight I have been sick and she hasnt been even trying to console me and usually she knows when I am sick and lays beside me. She just isnt acting herself.

GO TO THE VET AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. This does not sound good. I certainly don't want to say she has rabies, but something's up. Keep her segregated from people until you go and by all means, take her in some type of pet carrier.
All those bitten should make a doctor's appointment to be on the safe side.

Oh my gosh.
Have the dog quarantined right now and contact your clinic, vet and doctor.
Aggression and foaming at the mouth are signs of rabies. You will need to get treatment started almost right away so you must follow up with this pronto. Get the dog to the vet, it it is tested positive then the dog will have to be put down. The health of your family is more important.
If it isn't rabies it is something very serious.
Please go to the vet at the moment it opens and explain the sit. and he/she can tell you what to do next.
Good luck!

I would strongly suggest taking your dog into be looked at by a vet. Sounds like Rabies. Your family could be affected by this and can kill them if not treated. Dont waste time. If this were my dog and if one of my dogs ever bit anyone for any reason. I would not ever give it another chance to do so as I would take to vet, have evaluated for the health, safety and well being of its victims and then have the vet put to sleep after necessary testing is done.

It could be a couple of things, rabies or parvo?
Because she isn't acting on the norm and she is growling, bit a few people, and foaming at the mouth I would call he vet...asap.
Hoping all are aok.
Best wishes

OMG sounds like rabies. Are you in the eastern United States? There have been an awful lot of problems out that way. Best check your rabies certificate.

If this is a serious question, then you need to take the dog to the vet. And stay away from it. This is why they should have rabies and parvo vaccinations.

Possibly rabies or maybe she is very worried about something and is just not thinking about anything else? IDK but Good Luck. And i would also get her to the vet asap and you to either the hospital or a doctor. Dont let it get worse if it is rabies.

this sounds like rabies to me, your whole family should go to the hospital to get rabies shots. The sooner you get them, the better.
As for the dog, i'm sorry but i think she may have to be put to sleep

I think you're making a very sick joke. If your dog really is exhibiting these symptoms then you need to get him to a vet immediately. Somehow I don't think you're being truthful.

sounds like she may have been bit by a rabid animal and I would have her checked out immediately by your vet. Keep her away from others, especially your infant.
