Both kids today even though I try to keep the stray cats away from our home "it's impossible" got clawed while trying to feed the cat like he was a dog.
So.... I immediately took them to the rabies clinic, the 4 year old has already gone through the 4 shots so he only gets two injection's but my 9 year old granddaughter has to get all 4 shots in sequence.
My granddaughter had to be held down by 4 people in order to get both of her arms injected, and she bit me in my forearm, I still have the bite mark.
I'm almost positive the in-laws 5 year old boy who died recently had rabies because they showed a photo of him tied down to the hospital bed.
We have an infestation of cats and I have a hard time keeping them away from our home.
Rabies creeps up without symptoms at first and at a certain point nothing will save you, so there are no symptoms for something like 2 weeks into it, so if the kids get scratched by the cat, get them immediately to the rabies clinic, it's 350 pesos per shot, first time is a series of 4 shots the second time around the rabies shots is reduced to just two injections 3 days apart.
A scratch from a cat can kill you or a bite or a slight scratch from the cute street puppy's teeth while petting him, it will kill you, and you won't know it until it's too late, we have lost Expats to cute puppies and the Expat had no idea and neither did the doctors until it was too late, and even they traveled back to the US succumbed to Rabies.
