Nakalmot po ako ng pusa isang linggo na nakaraan. Hilom nadin po yung kalmot. Posible po ba na my rabbies ang kalmot ng pusa? Natatakot po kasi ako. Salamat.


Translation: I was scratched by a cat a week ago. The scratch wound has healed now. But is it possible that the cat has rabies? I'm scared that it might.

wala pong rabies sa kalmot. pero pwede pong magkacat scratch disease. maganda pa rin pong makipagkita kayo sa inyong doctor para matingnan niya ng mabuti yung sugat ninyo para malaman nia ang best na gawin.
