Hello Mhey, mas mainam pa rin pumunta sa doktor at magpa vaccine. Ang rabies ng pusa at aso ay delikado. Ang sintomas ng rabies ay ang pamamanhid sa lugar ng sugat, pagwawala, paglalaway at paninigas ng mukha. Kapag nagkaroon na ng sintomas ng rabies ay mahirap na itong gamutin. Dahil dito, kailangan nating maagapan ang lahat ng kagat ng aso at pusa. First aid: 1. Hugasan ang sugat gamit ang sabon at tubig sa loob ng 10 minuto. 2. Dalhin kaagad ang pasyente sa ospital o Animal Bite Center Tandaan: Kapag malalim ang kagat ng aso o pusa, o nakagat sa bandang mukha o leeg, kailangan agad bigyan ng bakuna at gamot ang pasyente. Dalhin agad sa mga nabanggit na ospital.
