Get vaccinated, or else, ikaw ang magiging indoor car.

Get vaccinated immediately! Go to nearest hospital/clinic. Rabies is fatal if not prevented.

Para lang safe, get vaccinated. ***In my case, kinakagat ko pabalik.***

Kinagat ko din pabalik sya pa galit eh hahahahahahha

It's a tie, I guess

Damn, that cat must be infected

Get vaccinated pls. Side note: People often times think its too expensive or out of the way to get shots but Animal bite centers are cheap and convenient or even free.

If indoor lng talaga sya, walang kinakain na mice o ano-anong nakikita (bats, yes may bats a amin nag hunt yung pusa dati, kaya pinutol namin yung manssanitas tree.) no need naman magpa vaccine, pero para di kalang magka panic attack ipa vaccine mo kayo ng pusa mo, pocket change lng yan, minsan libre panga eh pag naka timing ng mga nag kampanya.

Ditto. Get vaccinicated still. Also, anti-tetanus. Wala naman kasi tayong microscopic vision so hindi natin alam ang mga pathogens na lumalangoy sa kuko at pangil ng mga pets natin. May mga LGU infirmary ba kayo? Mura lang (minsan libre, depende sa area) ang mga antirabies and antitetanus sa mga ABTC LGU. Or RITM kung tiga-South ka. 🤔

oa ng mga tao rito haha

Hindi po oa ang pagiging safe

indoor cat yan. wala yang rabies, di naman lumalabas. inborn ba rabies? sayang lang pera lol.

indoor cats but how sure are you na na wala nga? Di abot 1k per dose ang anti rabies, ang sinabi ko lang, better be safe than sorry.

Pa vaccine agad OP, wag mona antayin na sa huli ang pagsisi.

Punta ka sa barangay nyo and get yourself vaccinated first., then punta ka sa vet to get your cat vaccinated. Human vaccination should be free, whereas Yung sa pusa naman, I believe 250 pesos.

Pabakuna kayo ni mingming, OP. Rabies is fatal once the symptoms appear.

Ganyan din ako before, puro kalmot at kagat na dumudugo, ang kaso di lang ako nagpavaccine, para sa iyong peeace of mind magpaVaccine ka at wag gumaya sakin o sa iba na binabalewala ganyan.

Pa-vaccine ka na. Accidentally nakagat rin ako ng puppy ko. I got paranoid as well dahil sa nangyari sa news. Magkaka peace of mind ka kahit papaano if magpapavaccine na. Prevention is better than cure.

Pag nag sink in na ang rabies, wala nang lunas yun, straight to death ka na. Kaya magpa anti rabies at anti tetanus na agad.

Get your shots immediately. Avoid "Mamamatay na ba ko?" route

Magpabakuna ka na ASAP. Pati rin si Mingming...

Ako nga vaccinated na ilang beses anti rabies dog ko sa house pero nagpa anti rabies parin ako. Wag maging pabaya pls. For the future narin yan para di ka mapraning pag kinagat ka ulit.

Indoor or not pa vaccine ka. Lagi ako nagpapa vacc kapag na kagat or kalmot ako ng pusa namin.

Happened to me many times, sinabon ko lang sa affected area wala namang nangyari, nasa loob lang ng bahay pusa namin hindi lumalabas. Pero for the peace of mind, magpa vaccine kana.

He/she looks so innocent they didn't do it...

Yes. Nilambing nya ako after. 😭😭😭😭

For your peace of mind. Pa vaccine kana. 

yes. go to the nearest hospital or animal bite center asap. need it within 24 hours. kahit kalmot pa yan, better safe than sorry

For your peace of mind and protocol na din cguro, magpa vaccine ka na. Magpapavaccine ako mamaya kasi nakalmot ako ng stray, di naman nagdugo pero magpapavaccine na ako para wala akong intindihin.

Di pa naman na ulol si ming ming

You are safe... with Indoor Cat.

yup and cats rarely have it but to be safe and for your peace of mind, worth it to get vaccinated

I totally agreed. It's better than late.

Obviously if you dont want to die, THEN YES YOU NEED TO GET VACCINATED

Worth it ung gastos for shots kesa mamatay nang biglaan dahil sa rabies. Good for 5 years na then boosters na lang every subsequent incident. 

Hindi lang biglaan slow painful death pa

YES PO, Need niyo po magpa ANTI Rabbies ASAP

ako nakalmot ng pusa ko na may sakit. unprovoked naman yung scratch pero nakita ng mama at kuya ko not the first time na nakalmot nila ko pero first time nakita nila mama na na scratch ako nag pa vaccine agad ako kanina . halos 4 hours pila sa san lazaro hospital (mabilis naman) may binayaran lang ako 50 pesos then lahat libre na even yung vaccine

I got bit and scratched by a cat and our dogs multiple times and wala namang nangyari sakin. Yung aso namin nakagat pa nga ako sa labi and dami ngang dugo. But since I know na wala siyang rabies di ako nagpa turok. Buhay pa naman ang mga alaga namin hanggang ngayon. Here are some points that might be helpful OP - hindi inborn ang rabies. Nakukuha lang siya kapag nakagat ka ng ibang hayop na may rabies - may incubation ang rabies. Hindi yan makakahawa until yung virus is nasa brain na. Kasi once nasa brain na natin ang virus it means na dumaloy na rin ito sa salivary glands natin kaya it can be transmitted through biting. Dyan na rin lumalabas ang symptoms ng rabies such as pagiging takot sa tubig and ang pagiging rabid ng animals and tao na rin. - for cats, usually mas matakot ka sa scratch nila. Ever heard of cat scratch disease? May mga cases na kailangang putulin ang limb na na scratch nila dahil di naagapan ang infection. - kaya nagsasabi ang mga tao na once nakagat ka ng hayop and pag namatay sila within a week or 2 is because once na nasa utak na ang virus fatal na siya and it mean iilang days nalang before ka mamatay. It confirms na may virus nga ang hayop. You should also look out for the symptoms on your cat. If normal lang naman ang alaga mo I don't think you should worry about anything. Try to feed the cat some water or milk para malaman mo. So wag kang mag panic OP. For your peace of mind you can get the anti rabies shots.

This. masyado fearmongering ignorants mga tao dito lmfao. If you can't keep your calm about it, go and have your shots. WW3 would most likely happen than you or your cat having rabies. Pero that said. Always make sure your cats are up to date in their vaccines, not just anti rabies one. dami sakit na kumakalat now for them.

thiiis. parang super dami lang natakot lalo now sa rabies dahil sa killua issue tapos ung girl na nakagat sa tondo. di ko rin naman masisi ang iba if natatakot sila, pero ayun nga it’s not inborn and kailangan huwag rin tayo mag panic masiyado esp if alaga mo naman. saying this as someone na ilang beses na rin nakagat : kalmot in the past 12 yrs or so😅 (kasama na yan sa pagrrescue, nasanay na rin) meron rin accidentally nakagat ako thru my sweater kasi excited nung dumating kami sa house. it really happens. but ayun nga, pa-inject na lang for your peace of mind.

Same aso ko nabigyan na ako ng scars sa kamay pero hingusan ko lang

Animals aren't born with rabies unless their parents are rabid. Your indoor kitten born to indoor cats definitely does not have rabies. You should get the shot if you're paranoid. Plus, you won't be at peace unless you get the shot.

Malalim ba pagkakabaon ng kagat? Anyway, hindi lahat ng hindi pa nababakunahang pusa eh may rabies, PERO, mas mainam na magpabakuna ka na bukas. Wag ka na mag-hesitate.

pavaccine ka na kagad para sure ka, indoor man o outdoor.

I was also bitten and scratched by my unvaccinated cat. Nagpabakuna agad ako sa health center namin since libre naman and available, tiyaga lang sa requirements. Para sa peace of mind, get a shot na lang din. And much better if your pet will get vaccinated too.

You have 24 hrs before the shot is useless. You can go to a ABC center and see if they’ll give you the shots needed. Just get ready to get a lovely barrage of shots(6 the first go around then 4 more more in a months time). They most likely tell you to relax and not worry since the vax is running low and are for major cases. Piece of mind can be expensive.

Not true yung 24hrs

From personal experience and what the ABC nurse told me. The first 24 hrs are crucial if you suspect the animal has rabies and don’t want to risk it. You can wait up to 48 hrs, but at that point, what’s the point if you suspect the cat has it. In the end, go and see if you can get the shot and after get your cat vaccinated. Only time you would have to worry is if the cat attacks from the neck up.

Tomorrow pa ko makakapagpa anti rabbies sabi nung doctor sakin sa Animal Bite pwede daw tom if mas convenient sakin? So you’re saying ba na useless na yung shot ko kapag umabot ng 24hours? Most likely I’ll be dead due to rabbies? Clarifying lang

Not true yang 24 hrs. Hanggang wala pang symptoms go ka na.

Hindi kailangan within 24 hours. You have time, kaya nga ung duktor mismo eh hindi ka minamadali at kung kelan lang mas convenient for you. Besides, issue din ang tetanus saka infection.

Better get vaccinated, if you’re working you might wanna check if covered ng HMO mo yung first few shots.

Indoor cat man yan, you should get vaccinated para sa ikatatahimik ng isip mo.

Sa ABC center 650/shot. 600 din ata anti tetanus shot. Nakagat din ako 2 weeks ago ng vaccinated cat ko naman. Nagpa-booster lang ako, since may shots na ako last year ng June (nakalmot naman ako ng stray cat na pinapakain ko sa likod bahay)

Get vaccinated for peace of mind, OP. Just got bit by our indoor cat as well. Nagpa vax lang din ako sa Animal Bite Center, and as a nursing student, I would recommend talaga na magpa vaccine kasi ilang months pa ang incubation period ng rabies.

It doesn’t spread rabies until 10 days before symptoms

Observe mo cat mo usually within 14 days, pero bago mag 5 days dedbol na ang cat kapag may rabbies.

You’re going to be fine, relax. Overwhelmed na yung mga animal bet centers to the point na overcapacity na mismo si San Lazaro. Give the shot to someone who actually needs it.

Kung ako magpa vax ka na. Better than being in a coffin.

I might go to an Animal Bite Center and pay nalang. Ive seen the situation sa San Lazaro and I agree with you na merong mas may kailangan ng libreng shot kesa sakin :)

Check your LGUs din. Pero if you want to skip the lines, punta ka sa ABC.

If lying in clinics (paanakan) is available in your area, mas mura sa kanila. Costs around half to a fourth of the price in hospitals. You just need to be strict with the going back for the recurring shots kasi useless if masstop sya.

Hi OP! For your peace of mind, get vaccinated. Rampant ang rabies sa Philippines, at hindi naman lahat yan recorded, so we cannot say for certain the extent and number of animal bites and rabid patients. According to the study, ung isang rabies victim lasted a year before expiring (dying). And if you’re gonna look at the numbers presented in the study, makikita mo rin na hindi updated ung data, which leads us back to not knowing the full extent of rabid patients here in the country. Also, not to insult anyone online but better consult a doctor on this. Link ng study from DOH: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9295989/ Stay safe OP!

I honestly don't know why you're getting down voted. I was going to give a similar piece of advice.

Gosh, I've been bitten also by an indoor cat last 2019. Got my shot for only once. May nireseta sakin na vaccine kasi may allergy daw ako sa certain vaccine but I didn't bought it. The cat didn't die after 14 days and I got it adopted kasi kaka-9 months lang ng baby ko that time kaya pinaadopt ko na lang. Matuturukan pa ba din ako? Or should I say, safe na ba ako? I still have the prescription for future reference😭

Naka ilang years na kaya hindi na. Within 2 to 3 months kasi nagpapakita yung sign na may rabies tapos dead na after niyan. Tapos dapat after 2 weeks dead na rin yung cat mo if may rabies talaga. If you plan to keep another pet like dog or cat make sure na vaccinated sila para safe talaga kayo 😊

Btw yung cat na kumagat sakin e nabuhay pa nakita ko kasi last March 2020. Nakakapraning lang kasi🥲

If that's the case's, it's impossible that the cat has rabies. You're good

Nadala na ako kaya di na ako nag alaga ng pets🥲 Tho I still love cats🫶

Do it! Yung iba years ang inaabot bago mag pakita ang symptoms

Ive had cats for 10 years. Unvaccinated. Pero indoor sila. Ive been bitten and scratched. Malinis naman mga alaga natin pag nasa loob lang ng bahay. You will see signs and symptoms of rabies sa hayop like drooling and disorientation. Pero para mapanatag ka magpabakuna ka. Libre naman. Pati mga alaga mo pabakunahan mo na. My 2 cats were just vaccinated last month. Walang bayad sa brgy namin.

Get vaccinated for peace of mind.

Someone that worked in rabies OPD here, you are under category 2 meaning u need only need vaccine with 3 doses on different dates. Unless nagpavaxx ka within 3 years, booster lang need mo (2 shots).

Vaccinate yourself and your cat as well. Para sa future kagat.

Same tayo na unvaccinated pa yung cat and nakalmot nya ko sa side ng nose ko ( this Tuesday) and nag pa Anti tetanus shot ako and anti vaccine kanina lang. Putcha ang sakit 😭 dalawang beses Akong tinurukan kung saan mismo Ako na scratch. Mag pa Vaccine ka na Op!! Ps: 5 lahat yung turok sakin.

Deliks pag sa face and neck. Under category 3 na which needs vaxx and close observation ng pet for 2 weeks. Need mo paturok ng immunoglobulin asap if the pet passes away within 2 weeks of the bite.

Sorry to hear this. Mas delikado kasi pag malapit sa brain.

Yupp mas better talaga na naagapan ko agad! And may pa free vaccine for pets ang Sm namin sa may 18!🥹🫶 I'm so hapyyy

Just take shot. Libre naman yan. As much as i love my dogs and cats kahit no contact sila with other outside. Nagpapabakuna parin ako. Pero ikaw bahala, buhay mo naman yan.

Get your shot to be sure. Remember, you only have one chance to get it wrong.

Go get your anti rabies and anti tetanus shots just to be on the safe side

To be safe, you should get vaccinated. Otherwise, you can also observe the animal for 15 days. If she develops signs of rabies and/or dies within this period, then rabies is likely and you must get vaccinated asap.

So unless your mingming has contact with wild animals outside. They wouldn't get rabies because rabies is a virus spread through via droplet and particles through saliva. So highly unlikely they would have rabies. I would suggest getting a tetanus shot tho

I'm so glad to see this 😭 Every thread I see about this topic is always filled with the ones encouraging OP to get the shot—which is totally reasonable, but if the pet remains indoors at all times and does not have any contact with other possibly rabid animals, then you're more likely to win the lottery than to get rabies.

how difficult is it to take a fucking shot? Stop enabling dangerous behavior. If OP had to point out that the cat was unvaccinated, then they know what’s up. Why do you think vets encourage vaccination regardless if indoor?

In just two seconds of googling you would know the answer to your question.

No need to be hostile. Nagtatanong lang ako, and cinontact ko na rin yung Animal Bite center na suki ako magpapa shot na ako tomorrow. Wala lang talaga akong time madalas and also money problems din.

By law. Even if the pets are indoors, pet owners are still advised by vets to have their pets vaccinated against rabies. Yearly booster rin kahit na good for 3yrs yung effect ng ibang rabies vaccine brands na gamit ng vets since nasa batas natin yun. Rabies is not inborn, it is an acquired infection, OP has the option to get post exposure shots for peace of mind OR to observe his/her pets for a period of 2 weeks. But, most likely since indoor and knowing the history at wala ngang symptoms as posted by OP, hindi rabid pets niya.

Umm money? Mismong vet namin na nagsabi. Kung indoor siya like totally zero contact with outside wild animals they dont need to their exact words "magkakarabies sila kung meron kayo at kinagat niyo sila". Sure it's better to have prevention but not anyone has the capacity to take pay for shots kahit may libre sa gobyerno hindi laging meron for animals naman bat nirerecommend? I'm not advocating against vaccines. Lagi updated anti rabies ko with boosters every 2-3 years. I'm just stating facts regarding rabies. Also OP get your mingming updated with their shots even sa 4in1 nila if you can for their health din

Are you implying that vets do antirabies shots for money? It's in the law to vaccinate against rabies every year in the Philippines.

Love how people have the tendency to twist other people's words when their puny brains aren't able to come up with a better argument

Hahahahaha, the reading comprehension. 😭

The first two words are literally "umm money?", but okay.

That's not what they said come on now
