Medical experts say completing the entire vaccination schedule after a dog bite is critical to prevent rabies infection.

Unusual Behaviour Alarms Family

In recent days, the teenager reportedly began behaving abnormally, showing symptoms that alarmed his family.

Witnesses said the boy started barking loudly and moving in a manner similar to a dog, while his way of walking, sitting and speaking also changed.

The family rushed him to hospitals and consulted several doctors after his condition worsened.

Doctors Suspect Advanced Rabies

Doctors who examined the boy said the symptoms appear to be linked to advanced rabies caused by incomplete vaccination.

Medical experts explained that when rabies symptoms start appearing, the disease often affects the nervous system and can cause hydrophobia, behavioural changes and severe neurological symptoms.

Doctors added that once rabies symptoms develop, the chances of recovery are extremely low.

Viral Video Sparks Concern

A video showing the teenager’s condition has spread widely on social media, drawing shock and concern from viewers.

Health experts have used the case to highlight the importance of immediately seeking medical treatment and completing the full anti-rabies vaccination schedule after any dog bite, as timely vaccination is the most effective way to prevent rabies.
