For reference:
When we hear the word "rabies," we imagine a rabid dog or a wild fox. But cats are becoming increasingly sick in Ukraine, especially in cities. And it is because of them that people most often seek rabies vaccination.
Cats roam freely and can come into contact with wild animals (foxes, raccoon dogs, bats). Their bites or scratches often go unnoticed – especially in children. They seem «cute and harmless» even when they are already infected. In some regions, up to 30% cases of rabies in domestic animals are cats.
«My cat doesn’t go for walks, he stays at home» is a myth that can cost your life. The virus can be brought into the house on shoes and with things.
How to protect yourself and your loved ones?
- Vaccinate cats every year – even «domestic» ones.
- Monitor the animal's behavior.
- Any aggression, lethargy, fear of light or water is a reason to contact a veterinarian.
- Don't pet other people's cats on the street.
- Explain to children that even a cute furry creature can be dangerous.
- In case of a bite or scratch, consult a doctor immediately!
- Protection is prevention and vaccination!
