    Hello, don't worry.

    Mi Shi Di Ha! What to do after being scratched and bitten by a cat.

    Cats have unusually sharp teeth and claw tips, and cats like to play with their owners, so it is always inevitable to be bitten or scratched by cats once in a while. In general, the wound after a human being bitten by a cat should be treated in time to avoid infection and inflammation. When bleeding occurs after being bitten or scratched by a cat, as long as it is not heavy bleeding, do not rush to stop the bleeding and let the blood drain properly.

    Bleeding can bring out pathogenic bacteria that have entered the wound. If the wound is not large and shallow, it can be rubbed with 75% alcohol or 2% iodine, disinfected 2 3 times, and can be stopped naturally after bleeding. If the wound is deep and large, the wound can be repeatedly and thoroughly irrigated with sterilized saline or Xinjieer.

    To prevent rabies, the wound should be irrigated for at least half an hour and then 76% alcohol or 2% iodine should be applied. Wounds should generally not be bandaged and sutured.

    It doesn't matter, as long as cats don't go out, the chance of coming into contact with germs is much smaller. I've had cats for 7 years, and our cats often bite me, and it's no problem to be bitten badly. If you're really worried, use alcohol to disinfect the wound.

    Immediately wash with soapy water, then rinse with tap water for ten minutes, and it will be fine, this is a shallow wound, and deep wounds will have to go to the hospital to see

    If the kitten is domestic, healthy, only eats cat food, has never been out of the house, and has not had contact with other cats and mice. Some bleeding, just broken skin, a little swollen, and the next day found a scratch-like scar.

    It should be fine.

    If the skin is broken, the wound can be thoroughly cleaned with running water or soapy water, and if the wound is large and close to the head and face, an immunoglobulin injection is needed in addition to rabies vaccination to prevent rabies.

    After being scratched by a cat, if there is a broken skin, it is recommended to wash the wound thoroughly with running water or soapy water, which can effectively remove most of the pathogens on the surface and prevent infection. For wounds with large wounds close to the head and face, immunoglobulin injections are needed in addition to rabies vaccination to prevent rabies.

    Avoid getting scratchedTo avoid being scratched by cats, the most fundamental is cat behavior education, which we also call social education, that is, to teach cats to adapt to human lifestyles, including the adjustment of cat work and rest, the adjustment of cat diet, and the adjustment of overall behavior.

    Domestic cats are generally not aggressive, but sometimes when the cat is teasing or the cat's nails are too long and not trimmed in time, the cat is unintentionally scratched, thinking that the cat will not have any bacteria, so the wound is ignored. In fact, if the cat's paw carries germs, if it is not treated in time, it will be diseased, leading to serious consequences.

    If the wound is shallow, it can be disinfected with alcohol, rinsed with running water for a while, and then applied to the wound with iodine to stop the bleeding naturally, and then no treatment can be carried out and it will heal slowly. If the wound is deep and the area is relatively large, the wound can be repeatedly rinsed with sterilized saline for half an hour, and then disinfected with alcohol and iodine can be applied. Although the wound is deep, it cannot be bandaged or sutured unless the bleeding does not stop.

    It is important to note that cats with zoonotic diseases such as rabies, cat's claw fever, and tetanus can transmit the disease to humans through wounds. Generally speaking, the chance of getting sick is relatively small, but for the sake of the insurance department, it is best to go to the veterinary hospital for examination. If the cat is not sick, it is okay to let the wound heal naturally after cleaning and disinfection, but if the cat is sick, on the one hand, you have to give the cat **, on the other hand, you have to go to the hospital immediately to vaccinate yourself to prevent yourself from getting sick.

    If the cat is unfortunately infected with rabies (your own cat has a relatively small chance of getting sick, but it is not impossible, you must check it out), the cat should be killed immediately and buried deeply, and at the same time, you must go to the health and epidemic prevention station to be fully vaccinated against rabies. Because the rabies vaccine needs to be given within 24 hours of being bitten, you need to find out if your cat has rabies as early as possible, and if it is suspected but not confirmed, it is also necessary to get vaccinated, just in case.

    Cats are very cute animals, which arouse the pity of many people, but when we see such a cute cat, we can't forget the dangers it carries while loving it, protect the cat, and protect ourselves.

    Theoretically speaking, there is no need to inject again, if you are not at ease, it is better to go to the injection, remember that when using the ten-day observation method, you need to inject the rabies vaccine within these ten days, and remember to clean the wound and disinfect it as soon as possible after being scratched by the cat, if you are caught during the immunization period, you do not need to inject the rabies vaccine.

    If the injured person is observed for 10 days after the cat is scratched, if the cat is still healthy, the possibility of rabies infection can be basically ruled out, and follow-up vaccination is not required. However, China's prevention and control requirements are more stringent.

    If the cat is regularly vaccinated against rabies, the possibility of rabies infection can be ruled out after 10 days. If the cat has not been vaccinated against rabies, people must be vaccinated and, depending on the wound, whether to receive rabies immune globulin at the same time.

    If a person is scratched extensively by a stray cat, because the stray cat has almost no history of rabies vaccination, and the person does not have the conditions to observe the stray cat for 10 days, once scratched, bleeding, he should be vaccinated in time.
