Please note that that if you have taken full course of the treatment and the disease was resolved (not having any unwanted symptoms/ blood test were clear, etc) there is no chance the disease was there and can migrate further/develop in ii stage.
However if you have not take proper treatment and or expose to unfavorable environment the disease can develop again and migrate to ii stage.

Vdrl is non specific and can be false positive due to many variables like flu or vaccine. Tpha and fta - abs are more specific and accurate.
So unless you have clinical symptoms it is most likely false positive vdrl. You can repeat it after 4 weeks do contact me for further diagnosis and treatment or if you still have some doubts you want to clear.

That is probably not a cut. It would have been a good idea if you had shown your foot that time to a physician. Not every dog is a rabid dog so don't worry a lot. If there was any history of that dog dying then maybe you need to think about it.

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you.
Coughing up phlegm is a good thing. But if your cough lasts longer than two weeks or if the phlegm is yellow, green, brown, black, white or red, you should schedule an appointment with a healthcare provider as soon as possible.
Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a treatment plan for you.

In cases of syphilis infection, various tests are used to diagnose the condition and monitor its progression. The two common tests are the venereal disease research laboratory (vdrl) test and the treponema pallidum hemagglutination assay (tpha) test.
The vdrl test measures the presence of antibodies in the blood that are produced in response to a syphilis infection. However, it is known to have some limitations, including a higher rate of false-negative results during the early stages of syp...more
