The first thing that will warn you is the animal will have unusual behavior. Aka it'll act weird. That means coming into your garage or shed when you are there (for wild animals) or watching you from the bushs. Or it could just walk right up to you (acting like it could be somebody's escaped pet even though it is a wild animal)
2nd aggression attack you, growl at you, show its teeth to you, charge, chase, stalk, or follow you OR BE FRIENDLY
3rd drooling and foaming at the mouth froth, bubbles, foam
rabies will ALWAYS kill the infected animal within 10 days of showing symptoms, because by the time the animal shows symptoms the virus has already reached the animal's brain. An animal or human can be healthy for 2 years before showing or feeling any symptoms, because the virus must travel from the spot were the victim was bitten to the brain.
There are two types of rabies: Active rabies and passive rabies.
Active rabies is also called "mad rabies." Mad rabies is when an animal is like Cujo, the saint bernard; it is the stereotypical image of a "mad dog" foaming at the mouth and attacking everyone around it. OR it could make the animal be friendly.
Passive rabies is also called "dumb rabies." Dumb rabies is when an animals is... Dumb. The animal will walk around as if it is in a daze. The animals is not at all aggressive, but still foams at the mouth, drools, etc. An animal with dumb rabies shows all of the same symptoms as an animal with mad rabies, except aggression.
This is a video of a deer with dumb rabies:

------
The first symptoms are flu-like. After that, the symptoms expand to cerebral(brain) dysfunction, anxiety, confusion, agitation, progressing to delirium, abnormal behaviour(vicious/friendly), hallucinations, and insomnia. The production of large quantities of saliva and tears coupled with an inability to speak or swallow are typical during the later stages of the disease; this is known as "hydrophobia".
Hydrophobia-the fear of water- occurs because the animal's throat has swelled, preventing it from swallowing and thus drinking. The animal gets so thirsty that it freaks out when it sees water (or shiney, reflective things like water).

I know that distemper can definitely cause seizures, and rabies can cause seizures, too.

What have you done with the animal? Where is it? You should ALWAYS IMMEDIATELY report (call 911) possible rabid animals.
