Rabies could affect homeostasis in the nervous system, that it might not sence everything because the body is busy getting rid of the virus. And mybe the body won't be sensitive as normal one.
It could also affect homeostasis because of the fever it causes since the body temperature leaves from its comfortable state, and also how it causes difficulty swallowing since food would not be allowed to enter the body and the body would not get nutrients.
