00:00Every 28th of September, it is called World Rabies Day and as part of this celebration,

00:06Doc V. Diaz will talk to you about how to properly vaccinate our pets to avoid rabies.

00:14We will be joined again by Doc V. Diaz from the Department of Health of DOH. Doc V.

00:20Diaz will be joined by Doc V. Diaz and Doc V. Diaz will be joined by Doc V. Diaz.

00:40Doc V. Diaz will be joined by Doc V. Diaz and Doc V. Diaz will be joined by Doc V. Diaz.

00:48Do you know that the number of rabies cases in our country is increasing?

00:54The DOH has reported 342 cases of rabies and this is higher than the number of recorded cases in the same period last year of 281 cases.

01:10300 of these cases are from dog bites while 38 are from cat bites.

01:18One is from bat or cat bite and the remaining 3 cases are from the bite of other animals.

01:26For this reason, we will be joined by Dr. Marie Sheila Ordinario from the Bureau of Animal Industry of the Department of Agriculture

01:38to give us information on how to vaccinate our pets and how to properly take care of them to avoid rabies.

01:52Good morning Dr. Sheng. Welcome to Rise and Shine Philippines.

01:58Dr. Sheng, aside from dogs and cats, are there any other animals that we can get rabies from?

02:08What are these animals?

02:10Rabies for animals is obtained from warm-blooded animals.

02:16That's why we are having reported cases of rabies in dogs, cats, and sometimes even in goats.

02:26We recently heard about this on Facebook.

02:29They can be infected, even pigs, because they are warm-blooded animals.

02:35For chickens, we can't get rabies from them.

02:37For birds, we can't get rabies from them.

02:38For snakes, we can't get rabies from them.

02:40So, they are warm-blooded animals.

02:42Even humans can get rabies from them.

02:44Why do panikis have rabies?

02:47They are also considered warm-blooded.

02:49They are also considered mammals.

02:51Ah, mammals.

02:52Yes, they can also get rabies from them.

02:54Especially for bats, which are called carnivores.

02:59They don't eat fruits.

03:01Is it true that rabies is inborn in animals?

03:04And how do animals get rabies?

03:08Rabies is not inborn.

03:10It means that a dog can be transferred to another animal,

03:16to another dog, even to a goat, even to a cow.

03:20It can be transferred through saliva.

03:24That's why it's common to have rabies.

03:27But rabies is not inborn.

03:31Rabies is transmitted through the saliva of infected animals.

03:38So, rabies is transmitted through the saliva of infected animals.

03:45Is it the same for humans?

03:47Yes.

03:48That's why in human cases,

03:52usually, there's a history of biting incident.

03:55Or if it's a cat, there's a scratch.

03:59There's a history of biting.

04:01Aside from the bite of an animal,

04:04is there another way for a person to be infected with rabies?

04:09Another way for a person to get rabies

04:16is if we have a dog or an animal that's infected with rabies.

04:23That's why the provision of our law,

04:26Republic Act 9482 or the Anti-Rabies Act of 2007,

04:30prohibits dog meat trade.

04:34Because if that dog is infected with rabies,

04:37and we don't have the required protective equipment,

04:42we can be infected.

04:44For example, from the cerebrospinal fluid,

04:48because the virus is in the nervous system,

04:50we will remember that the virus is not in the blood.

04:54So, if we can touch an infected animal's blood,

04:57the virus is not there.

04:59It's also not tested from the nervous system.

05:02So, the cerebrospinal fluid,

05:05the spinal cord, the brain,

05:08if it's infected,

05:09our mucous membranes,

05:11the eyes,

05:12or if it's an accidental bite,

05:15or if we have open wounds,

05:17we can be infected.

05:19Why is it important to vaccinate our pets?

05:24Because it's their first protection.

05:27Like what I said earlier,

05:29we don't vaccinate them because they have rabies,

05:33so that the rabies can be treated.

05:36So, we give the rabies vaccine as protection,

05:39if in case that animal gets exposed to another animal with rabies.

05:44So, when a pet is vaccinated,

05:46it will produce antibodies as their protection,

05:49if in case they get exposed to an infected animal.

05:54So, what kinds of vaccines do pets need?

05:58Can these vaccines prevent the rabies from infecting a pet?

06:05So, for pets,

06:07like babies,

06:09they are also given different vaccines

06:12if they are at least 6 weeks of age.

06:15So, there's the so-called combination shot,

06:18or the 5-in-1 vaccine,

06:206-in-1,

06:217-in-1,

06:22and 9-in-1.

06:23So, those are combinations of vaccines for different diseases.

06:27So, aside from the rabies vaccine,

06:30which is sometimes given separately,

06:32if the dog or cat is at least 3 months of age,

06:36there's also a combination shot with a rabies component.

06:41So, like I said,

06:43it's like 3-in-1 coffee.

06:45It increases up to 8-in-1 or 9-in-1.

06:48It's like that.

06:49So, there's a vaccine with rabies.

06:51What kind of vaccine do you give?

06:53You said 3-in-1, 8-in-1?

06:55The anti-rabies vaccine is for rabies.

06:59Just rabies?

07:00Yes.

07:01So, you recommend that pets should be vaccinated every year?

07:06Yes, at least once a year.

07:08That's what the law requires for our pet owners.

07:12Yes.

07:13The first responsibility of a pet owner

07:17is to provide the required vaccine for our pets.

07:22So, what are our programs doing for rabies

07:27because many people are dying from rabies?

07:31Actually, yes.

07:32I think it's the highest since 2007.

07:35So, now, through our secretary,

07:39Secretary Kiko,

07:41she allocated P30 million this year

07:44to procure a vaccine for rabies

07:47that we will give to LGUs.

07:50So, to catch up with the vaccination,

07:55we will give a vaccine this year

07:58and in the next year,

08:00LGUs will use the vaccine to vaccinate their localities.

08:04That's already done.

08:06Because there are a lot of incidents that have already been done.

08:10After the vaccination,

08:12what should rabies patients do if they have rabies?

08:19The first thing we should do is to wash their wounds.

08:25As I said earlier,

08:27rabies virus is in the saliva.

08:29So, our goal is to wash the saliva

08:35that has been infected with the virus.

08:38So, at least 15 minutes with running water and soap or detergent to wash off.

08:43Because rabies virus is easy to die.

08:46So, it means, for example,

08:49with UV light, with heat, with detergents even,

08:55the virus will die.

08:56It will deactivate.

08:58So, that's why the first thing we should do is to wash the wound.

09:02Don't use garlic, don't use ginger, don't use garlic,

09:05don't use rocks.

09:06It's running water and soap or detergent.

09:10And then, let's run to the bite treatment centers.

09:15Thank you very much again, Dr. Marie Sheila Ordinario,

09:19for the information you shared in our program.

09:23RSPs, be a responsible pet owner.

09:27Vaccinate your pet against rabies.

09:31And if possible, wash the wound with running water and soap

09:36and go to the nearest animal bite center.

09:40Until next time, RSP!
