napaakan ako friend ug iring last saturday. wala mn gd to klaro na iring ky ang tag.ia pasagdan ra cla sa dan mg laroy2 so murag wa jd to na vaccinate ug anti-rabies. na pranoid lng mi ky basin naa to xa rabies ba then ma unsa unya to akong friend napaakan. dapat ba mgpa vaccinate na xa rn?

Have the wound cleaned and ask the hospital what they would recommend re: vaccination. I've been bitten by cats and dogs several times already, but so far, I was only given anti-tetanus shots.

I think observing the cat is out the question, since it's a stray cat. Kuyaw lang sis if ma-tsugi ang cat... because rabid animals would usually die a few days after biting. Hadlok pod sila ug water. Check if your friend has developed fever or feels unwell. Check the wound as well to avoid infections.

pa inject lang ug anti rabies miss... naai big possibility nga magka rabies ang cats.. not only dogs ang magka rabies... magka rabies pud gane ang rats..

Nahitabo ni sa akong Sister last year. Paadto-a dayon sa doctor imong friend para mahatagan siya sa kinahanglan niya nga shots. Makamatay baya ang rabies, so ayaw gyud dugaya. Asa naman ang iring?

half stray ra mn to xa, naa xa "tag-ia" ky mao mn mu feed pero in general ky pasagdan ra kung asa xa mg laroy2.. sahay makit.an namo sa ila area, sahay di..

hmmm mao cguro ni gi imply sa public hospi doc na pde ra d sah mgpa anti rabies.. ?

If the cat's alive and not acting strangely, your friend should be fine. I doubt if public hospitals will "share" their anti-rabies vaccines. Usually private hospitals are the ones that have a ready supply of the vaccine... for a price (of course). From what I heard, they sell it by vial and each vial is worth a number of shots.

yup, wala jd mi na ani sa public hospital na amo gi adto.an, wa gani mi gitagaan ug TT or TIG mn lng, tsktsk

didto mi city health ghapon sa animal bite center, mu hatag mn cla free vaccine pero ang first dose ra, ang 2nd to 4th doses ky mu pay na ka. ang paagi didto ky mangita ka ug 4 other people to form one group, then buy mu 1 vial sa vaccine (in our case Verorab), so ang bayad kada tao ky mga 540 pesos, dpende pd asa na pharmacy mu buy ky naa mi kuyog ato 400+ ra ia na bayad. d cla mu hatag TT ug TIG, health center ra dw bahala ana..

at least na inject na jd ako friend hehe observe nlng mi sa iring rn if nai mahitabo nia.. hopefully d to xa rabid..
