Hindi po ako sure if kalmot or kagat ng pusa yung sa kamay ng anak ko. Pero after 2 days po, may nana ung sugat. Ano po gagawin ko?

Hello Angelica,

Mababa lang ang posibilidad na may rabies ang kalmot ng pusa, sapagkat ang rabies ay nakukuha sa mga kagat, hindi sa kalmot. Ang pinapayo parin ng mga awtoridad ay magpaturok para sigurado. Para sakin, dahil hindi ka sigurado kung kalmot o kagat ng pusa, mas maganda na magpatingin at magpaturok para lamang sigurado tayo pero mainam parin na sundin mo ang rekumendasyon ng inyong doctor.
