Rabies is a viral disease transmitted through the saliva of infected animals, usually through bites or scratches. Once symptoms appear, rabies is almost always fatal.
But rabies is preventable.

✅ Vaccinate your pets and prevent them from roaming
✅ Report animals showing unusual behaviour to the nearest veterinary clinic
If you are bitten or scratched, wash the wound immediately with soap and clean water and seek medical care without delay.
