RABIES POSITIVE - Awareness Post 🧠🐾

May patient kami na confirmed Rabies via BAI laboratory testing.

Why it wasn’t suspected immediately:
✔️ Mataba at well-cared
✔️ Indoor dog
✔️ Kumakain pa

Observed signs:
• Nagsusuka
• Biglaang pagbabago ng ugali
• Inaaway ang kasamang a*o
• Kinakagat ang sariling paa
• Nasusuka tuwing nilalagyan ng tubig ang bibig

History:
•Minsan lang nakalabas at nakaaway ang stray dog
•Hindi nabakunahan dahil “indoor lang”

Unfortunately, progression was rapid, at namatay ang patient.

⚠️ Important reminders for pet owners:

•Hindi lahat ng rabies ay aggressive agad
•Hindi lahat may obvious na sugat
•Kahit indoor pets can be exposed
•Rabies is 100% fatal once symptoms appear
•But 100% preventable through vaccination

💉 Vaccinate your pets - indoor or outdoor.

Rabies does not choose. Prevention saves lives.

This case is shared for public health awareness. No identifying details are disclosed.

Grooming is now open.
