KOTA BHARU, Oct 4 — An eight-year-old boy who was seriously injured after being attacked by a pack of stray dogs at Pantai Kuala Kemasin, Bachok, on Thursday has received a rabies vaccination and is now being monitored for three weeks.
The boy’s mother, Rosnani Mat Salleh, 46, said her son, Azuar Firdaus Zuraiman, showed positive progress today after remaining withdrawn for two days as he was still traumatised by the incident.
“For two days after the incident, he was still frightened and did not want to talk. He mostly kept to himself and sometimes cried because he was in pain from his injuries, especially to his head and neck.
“Thankfully, his condition has improved today and he has started talking. He can now answer when asked and can recount what happened during the incident,” she told reporters at Raja Perempuan Zainab II Hospital here today.
