What We Treat
Comprehensive Animal Bite Care
From wound assessment to full post-exposure prophylaxis, our clinics provide everything your family needs after an animal bite — fast, affordable, and close to home.
Your safety is our priority
Animal bites carry real risks — but with the right care at the right time, those risks are manageable. Mom's Animal Bites Clinic specializes in the complete management of animal bite cases, following the Department of Health's guidelines for post-exposure prophylaxis.
Our trained medical staff assess every bite, clean and dress wounds properly, and administer the correct vaccines so you and your family stay protected.
Animal Bite Assessment
Every visit begins with a thorough evaluation of the bite wound. Our clinicians classify the exposure category (Category I, II, or III) following WHO and DOH protocols to determine the appropriate course of treatment.
- Wound inspection and exposure category classification
- Animal history and behavior assessment
- Risk stratification and treatment planning
- Documentation for health records and insurance
Anti-Rabies Vaccine
We administer WHO-prequalified anti-rabies vaccines following the correct schedule for Category II and III exposures. Timely vaccination is the most effective way to prevent rabies after a bite.
- Intradermal and intramuscular vaccine options
- Day 0, 3, 7, and 28 vaccination schedules
- Vaccine brand guidance and availability
- Vaccination records and reminder follow-ups
Wound Care & Cleaning
Proper wound management immediately after a bite dramatically reduces infection risk. Our staff perform thorough irrigation and debridement, and dress wounds to promote safe healing.
- Immediate wound flushing and irrigation
- Antiseptic cleaning and debridement
- Sterile wound dressing and bandaging
- Tetanus prophylaxis when indicated
Anti-Tetanus (TT, ATS, HTIG)
We administer the appropriate tetanus protection based on clinical assessment — tetanus toxoid (TT), anti-tetanus serum (ATS), or human tetanus immunoglobulin (HTIG) — to prevent tetanus infection following an animal bite or wound.
- Tetanus toxoid (TT) for active immunization
- Anti-tetanus serum (ATS) when indicated
- Human tetanus immunoglobulin (HTIG) for high-risk wounds
- Assessment based on wound type and vaccination history
Health Education on Rabies
Our healthcare professionals provide clear, evidence-based education on rabies — what it is, how it spreads, what to do after an animal bite, and why completing the full vaccination course is critical for your protection.
- Explanation of rabies transmission and risk
- Guidance on first-aid steps after a bite or scratch
- Importance of completing the full PEP schedule
- Advice on animal observation and when to seek further care
Rabies Immunoglobulin (RIG)
For Category III exposures — deep bites, scratches that draw blood, or contact with mucous membranes — Rabies Immunoglobulin (RIG) is administered alongside the vaccine series to provide immediate passive immunity before the vaccine takes full effect.
- Human Rabies Immunoglobulin (HRIG) administration
- Equine Rabies Immunoglobulin (ERIG) as an alternative
- Wound infiltration technique per WHO guidelines
- Monitoring and follow-up care
Follow-Up & Monitoring
Completing the full vaccine schedule is essential for protection. We track your vaccination progress, send reminders for return visits, and provide medical certificates for school or work.
- Scheduled return visit reminders
- Vaccination completion certificates
- Medical certificates for school or work
- Guidance on animal observation and reporting
Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP)
For pet owners, veterinary workers, and frequent travelers, pre-exposure vaccination provides a safety net before any bite occurs — reducing the post-exposure regimen to just two booster doses.
- 3-dose pre-exposure vaccine series
- Booster dose scheduling
- Suitable for children, adults, and at-risk professionals
- Titer testing guidance
Understanding Bite Categories
The WHO and DOH classify animal bites into three categories. Knowing your category helps our team provide the right treatment immediately.
Touching or feeding animals, licks on intact skin. No wound, no exposure.
Recommended action
Wash hands thoroughly. No vaccine required.
Nibbling of uncovered skin, minor scratches or abrasions without bleeding.
Recommended action
Wound washing + anti-rabies vaccine series.
Single or multiple transdermal bites or scratches, contamination of mucous membranes with saliva.
Recommended action
Wound washing + RIG + anti-rabies vaccine series. Seek care immediately.
