The Importance Of Anti Rabies Vaccines For Human, Cat, Dog, Animal Bites!

- January 28, 2022

To God be all the glory! Today is my Anti-rabies Vaccination Graduation day.

I've been in my 15 days under observation due to a cat bite. I need to submit myself for a series of serious VERORAB anti-rabies vaccines and ERIG - Immunoglobin to complete my antibodies for my immunity and protection against animal rabies. Since I am a Cancer Patient all are not that easy, thank you, God, in heaven for giving me my husband Tony and Ate Malou for assisting me in my requirements along the process.

Let me acknowledge my kind and concerned Doctors that cure the side effects on my skin along the process. Infection Disease Specialist Dra. Nenita Alberto gave me the medication for the unusual flare of Urticaria/hives that appear in my whole body except my face area for 3 consecutive days.

Let me also give thanks to a prestigious Dra. Rossana Ditangco of RITM for the advice while we are monitoring my condition.

Also to my very kind Oncology, Doctor Jorge Ignacio for his timely approval on all important questions from my doctor's request before we proceed to the next.

The dangers of animal bites and Rabies:

Animal bites and scratches, even when they are minor, can become infected and spread bacteria to other parts of the body. Whether the bite is from a family pet or an animal in the wild, scratches and bites can carry disease. Cat scratches, even from a kitten, can carry "cat scratch disease," a bacterial infection. Other animals can transmit rabies and tetanus. Bites that break the skin are even more likely to become infected.

Care for animal bites for superficial bites from a familiar household pet that is immunized and in good health:

1. Wash the wound with soap and water under pressure from a faucet for at least 5 minutes, but do not scrub, as this may bruise the tissue. Apply an antiseptic lotion or cream.

2. Watch for signs of infection at the site, such as increased redness or pain, swelling, drainage, or if the person develops a fever.

For deeper bites or puncture wounds from any animal, or for any bite from a strange animal:

1. If the bite or scratch is bleeding, apply pressure to it with a clean bandage or towel to stop the bleeding.

2. Wash the wound with soap and water under pressure from a faucet for at least 5 minutes. Do not scrub as this may bruise the tissue.

3. Dry the wound and cover it with a sterile dressing. Do not use tape or butterfly bandages to close the wound as this could trap harmful bacteria in the wound.

Being safe around animals, even your pets can help reduce the risk of animal bites. Some general guidelines for avoiding animal bites and rabies include the following:

1. Do not try to separate fighting animals.

2. Avoid strange and sick animals.

3. Leave animals alone when they are eating.

4. Keep pets on a leash when out in public.

5. Select family pets carefully.

6. Never leave a young child alone with a pet.

7. All domestic dogs and cats should be immunized against rabies and shots kept current.

8. Do not approach or play with wild animals of any kind, and be aware that domestic animals may also be infected with the rabies virus.

9. Supervise pets so they do not come into contact with wild animals. Call your local animal control agency to remove any stray animals.
