00:00In the month of March, let's call it Rabies Awareness Month.

00:03It's an important opportunity to expand our knowledge about rabies and how to avoid it.

00:10If that's the case, Audrey, we have a veterinarian with us, Dr. Marlo Wisco,

00:15to provide important information and chat that will help our salvation.

00:20Good morning and welcome to Rise and Shine Philippines and welcome back to PTV.

00:24Dr. Marlo, thank you so much for being with us this morning.

00:26Good morning, Doc.

00:27Thank you so much for having me here this morning.

00:31As of now, rabies is more commonly known as rabies here in the Philippines.

00:35How important is it for our countrymen to know about it?

00:39Okay, so it's important because aside from the fact that rabies is caught in the bite of an animal,

00:49primarily, it affects people and especially, it can cause death.

00:55Okay, Doc, what are the symptoms if you have rabies?

01:00Okay, in humans, primarily, there's a fever, body aches, and there's also delirium.

01:12And there's also pain or swelling in the wound.

01:16Okay.

01:17And there's also paralysis and fear of water and wind.

01:24Okay.

01:25This is a big help to our countrymen.

01:28You need to answer this, Doc.

01:29Yes.

01:30What should we do, for example, if you were bitten by a dog or if you have a pet cat?

01:35Yes, first of all, our countrymen should do,

01:39so if you were bitten or paralyzed,

01:41we should get a soap and soak our wound in running water.

01:48And we should put it in front of running water.

01:51And after this, we should apply Betadine.

01:55And after this, we should go to the nearest hospital or animal bite and treatment center.

02:03Alright, Doc.

02:04So, how do we know if we need to get an injection,

02:08if you were bitten or paralyzed?

02:12Because sometimes, when you're bitten, it's not there.

02:15It's just shallow, right?

02:16Yes.

02:17When you're bitten or paralyzed,

02:21we should not neglect it.

02:24Because we don't know if an animal is infected or not.

02:31So, we should not be complacent if we were bitten or paralyzed.

02:35So, even if we have a pet cat,

02:43we should not be complacent.

02:45Because rabies, when it has an infection in the brain and the nervous system,

02:51it's irreversible and it can't be cured.

02:54But if the dog is at home,

02:57if you were bitten, can rabies be cured?

03:00Yes, usually, it can be cured.

03:05But if you don't have enough information about your pet,

03:13or if you don't have enough information about the pet that has rabies,

03:18it's better for you to have an initiative.

03:22To be sure.

03:23Yes.

03:24Let's talk about prevention.

03:26When should we vaccinate our pets?

03:29Our pets should be vaccinated at least yearly.

03:37But if the incidence of rabies is high in one place,

03:41sometimes, the program of other vet clinics is twice a year for every six months.

03:47Alright, Doc. What are the common misconceptions about rabies?

03:50And how do you want to address this?

03:52Okay. So, a common misconception about rabies is that

03:56rabies is transmitted to dogs and cats.

04:00So, rabies is not inborn.

04:02They only get rabies when they are bitten by an infected animal.

04:08Well, based on the data,

04:11is the incidence of rabies increasing or decreasing?

04:16Okay. So, based on our data from last year,

04:20we have 426 rabies death-related cases.

04:28That's just death.

04:29Yes. And since January to March 1, 2025,

04:34we have 55 death-related rabies cases.

04:40That's a lot.

04:41That's why we should have an initiative

04:45to vaccinate our pets against rabies.

04:50But, Professor, this is what I want to know.

04:52Because I heard that, depending on the time,

04:55does our climate have a connection?

04:57For example, if it's hot, it's possible for our pets to get rabies.

05:01No. It's just a myth.

05:04So, rabies, for example,

05:08if you are bitten,

05:10it has an incubation period of 2 to 3 months.

05:15And sometimes, there are dormant types

05:18that last longer than others

05:22before they have manifestations or clinical symptoms.

05:28Doc, if I am bitten,

05:30should I go to the hospital right away?

05:33Yes.

05:33Where can I get vaccinated?

05:34Yes.

05:34Do I need to go right away?

05:35Yes.

05:35So, will rabies activate in your body right away?

05:38Yes. And at the same time,

05:40usually, if our pet is vaccinated,

05:44for example, if your dog is vaccinated,

05:48and I was bitten,

05:49usually, we still need to go to the animal bite and treatment center,

05:53not because of the rabies vaccine.

05:57The body of the anti-rabies vaccine is the anti-tetanus vaccine.

06:01Oh, so it's for anti-tetanus.

06:03Yes.

06:04But what is that?

06:05You're getting vaccinated,

06:06and you're vaccinating your dog with anti-rabies,

06:10so you still need to go to the animal bite?

06:12Yes. Just to make sure.

06:15So, we need to make sure,

06:16because as you said, it can cause death, right?

06:18Yes.

06:19There are also data that show that it can cause death.

06:21It can cause sadness.

06:22And also, there is no known treatment

06:25if the dog has an infection in the brain.

06:29Oh, if it spreads.

06:30As of this month of March,

06:33Rabies Awareness Month,

06:35what is your message to our fellow countrymen?

06:38So, my message to our fellow countrymen,

06:41taking care of your pet is not a privilege,

06:45but a responsibility.

06:47So, because of our responsibility,

06:49our responsibility is to vaccinate our pets.

06:53So, if we don't bring our pets to the nearest vet clinic,

06:59we have active city and municipal vets

07:04who visit our barangays

07:06to give free anti-rabies vaccines.

07:10Even for us,

07:12there is an anti-rabies vaccination for your pets.

07:17So, let's be responsible to our pets.

07:20As much as possible, let's vaccinate them.

07:22On that note, thank you very much for your time.

07:26Today, to share important information about Rabies,

07:30Dr. Marlo Wisco.

07:32Thank you very much, Doc.

07:33Thank you very much, too.
