Does a cat bite also have rabies, which is more serious than a dog bite?

It seems that scratching a cat's paw may be infected with the virus, but it should not fall under the category of rabies.

The probability of rabies being bitten by a cat: rabies virus must invade mucosal tissue in order to reproduce latently, if ** is not damaged, there is no rabies virus invasion conditions.

Symptoms of rabies in cats:

It is usually violent and has a prodromal period of less than 1 day, which is characterized by low-grade fever and marked behavioral changes. The euphoria period lasts -4 days.

Sick cats usually hide in the dark, and when people approach, they suddenly attack, because of their fast movements, they are not suitable for attention, and they like to attack people's heads, so they are more aggressive than dogs.

The sick cat shows muscle tremors, dilated pupils, salivation, back bowing, claws extended, and aggressive. The paralysis phase usually lasts 1 to 4 and manifests as motor disorders with a pronounced hind extremities.

When the muscles of the head and neck are paralyzed, the voice is hoarse. Then he had a convulsion and died in a coma. About 25% of sick cats are paralytic and die within hours or 1-2 days of onset.

Rabies is a zoonotic acute infectious disease of the central nervous system caused by the rabies virus. Because rabies patients have a prominent clinical manifestation of fear of drinking water, the disease was once called "hydrophobia", but sick animals do not have this characteristic.

The main clinical manifestations are mania, fear and restlessness, fear of wind and water, salivation and pharyngeal muscle spasm, and finally paralysis and life-threatening. 566 BC, China. On the left biography there is "the Chinese people chasing the dogs".

Ge Hong of the Jin Dynasty. There are records of this disease in the back of the elbow and in Sun Simiao's "Qianjin Fang".

In 1885, the French scientist Pasteur first applied the attenuated rabies vaccine prepared by rabbit brain and spinal cord to the human body, which was the first time in human history to conquer rabies, thus setting a precedent for vaccine prevention of rabies.

Manic rabies lesions are mainly in the brainstem, cervical nerve, or higher central nervous system, while paralytic rabies lesions are confined to the spinal cord and medulla oblongata, resulting in differences in clinical symptoms.

In the vast majority of cases of rabies caused by the bite of vampire bats, there is no excitatory phase, no pharyngeal muscle spasm and hydrophobia, and ascending paralysis is the main clinical manifestation.

In your case, if you have the ability to relieve your psychological anxiety, it is not recommended to go for that vaccine.

Reason: 1. The rabies virus must invade the mucosal tissue in order to reproduce latibly, and you were bitten through your clothes, and it was not damaged, so you do not have the conditions for rabies virus to invade. What's more, you also rubbed iodine.

Even if the rabies virus is smeared on the **, as long as the skin is not broken and iodine is rubbed, it will not be infected, because the rabies virus is extremely sensitive to iodine wine.

2. In the city, the probability of stray cats and dogs being infected with rabies virus is extremely low. A doctor friend of mine (a human doctor, not a veterinarian) also likes to feed stray cats, and she also scratches them for neutering surgery, and has been scratched and bitten many times, and she never gets vaccinated.

3. Even cats and dogs with rabies virus are only contagious before the onset of the disease, and they will die quickly after the onset of the disease. Therefore, rabies is not an infectious disease that tends to spread on a large scale (because sick animals die quickly and do not have much chance of infecting others). Therefore, the World Health Organization has determined that the observation period for suspected sick animals is 10 days, which is still a surplus.

4. I don't know if you're a**. In Beijing, for example, there are hundreds of thousands of cases of scratching and biting by cats and dogs every year, of which about one-third have been vaccinated, about 200,000 cases, and only four cases actually get rabies. In other words, the probability of getting rabies after I was scratched and bitten by a cat or dog was less than 1 in 100,000, which is much lower than the probability of being hit by a car on the street (the probability of a fatal traffic accident every year is greater than 1 in 10,000 when driving in Beijing).

In other words, if you are scratched by a cat or dog and have to get a rabies vaccine, then if you follow the logic of this risk level behavior to guide your life, you should stay away from the steering wheel and the road.

5. So why is it recommended that everyone play? Why do so many people still go to the health and epidemic prevention stations to get rabies vaccination? There are two factors here, one is that even the one in a million risk should be avoided in medical theory, and it is beneficial and harmless anyway.

Second, there is an economic interest driven by it: 3 billion yuan a Chinese New Year's Eve. It must be explained that the theoretical "beneficial and harmless" should be put into question in reality - the rabies vaccine given to you by many domestic health and epidemic prevention stations is not completely inactivated, but attenuated and low-live vaccine, and it is best not to let it enter your bloodstream casually.

In short, relax and don't think about it in the future. Don't listen to their nonsense about decades of incubation. According to the medical report of the World Health Organization, even if the rabies virus is infected, the incubation period of more than 3 months accounts for only a dozen percent, and the incubation period of more than one year is less than 1 percent, and this percentage is multiplied by less than 1 in 100,000, that is, less than 1 in 10 million.

Just feed you the character of the stray cats, which is less than a 1 in 10 million probability that it will not fall on your head.

If you have time to ask, why don't you get a rabies vaccine as soon as possible, not only just in case, but also to eliminate your inner worries. If you're asking a question here, it means you're already struggling with this matter, so don't hesitate to get vaccinated to get rid of future problems. Rabies is basically unavoidable, so once it happens, the end result is death.

Been bitten by a stray cat for 3 days and didn't take any action.

If a cat has rabies, it looks like a sick cat, drooling, manic, and excited.

You can also get vaccinated now. There seems to be antibody globulin injections before the onset of the disease (this is really a blurry impression.) I don't remember if it's a rabies). You can also go to fight on the fourth day.

PS: The 10-day observation method is to observe for 10 days after the injection. It's not about waiting for ten days...

If the imported vaccine is given in the first half of the year, it is generally administered for one year. Domestic production is generally half a year.

And most of them are dogs and very few cats.

Rabies is a viral infectious disease that is fatal in most cases after the onset of clinical symptoms. In up to 99% of human infections, the rabies virus is transmitted by domestic dogs. Rabies can infect both domestic and wild animals and then spread to people through bites or scratches, usually through saliva.

The incubation period for rabies is usually 1-3 months, ranging from less than a week to as long as a year, depending on factors such as the location of the rabies entry and the rabies viral load.

Warm-blooded animals such as dogs and cats die in 100% within 3 to 5 days of rabies onset. Therefore, it is only in the 3-5 days before its death that it is contagious, and it is dangerous to be bitten. Even if you are bitten and the cat or dog dies of rabies 10 days later, you don't have to worry because the bite is not contagious when it bites you.

If you are bitten by a warm-blooded animal such as a dog (cat) with symptoms of disease or abnormal behavior with a healthy cat (dog), after you are bitten, you should immediately go to the rabies vaccine injection, and at the same time observe the cat (dog) that bites you, if within 10 days, the cat or dog has not died of rabies, you can terminate the rabies vaccination, and you can determine that you have not been infected with rabies at all.

Rabies has an incubation period, the World Health Organization through detailed research, most of them are 20 days to 2 months, the longest period is 6 years, as for some examples in our country, the World Health Organization expressed doubts, the world has not found evidence of long-term incubation examples, infectious disease medical experts and believe that it may be misdiagnosis or secondary exposure (medical term, the second time to be transmitted).

Yes, but only if you are bitten or scratched by a cat with rabies. In fact, rabies is not only contagious by rabid dogs, but also if you are bitten by someone with rabies, and there are also things like bats, horses, and wolves. But only if they all have rabies and are in the attack.

As long as you can make sure they're healthy, it's fine. It is enough to treat the wound in time, but it is better to get a rabies vaccine to be prepared

Hello, cats can get rabies too. Cats are also carriers of the rabies virus, so they should be vaccinated against rabies. If you are bitten or scratched by a cat that has not been vaccinated against rabies, you should go to the hospital for rabies vaccination, otherwise you may be infected with rabies by the rabies virus carried by the cat.

Question: What about those who were born in their families since childhood?

Do you have to go to fight?

Brush points, right? Rabies, also known as hydrophobia, is a zoonotic acute infectious disease of the central nervous system caused by the rabies virus. Rabies virus is a ribonucleic acid type of phabdovirus, which is transmitted through saliva and is more common in carnivores such as dogs, wolves, and cats.

Many people have encountered the situation of being bitten by a cat, we all know that if you are bitten by a dog, you are likely to get rabies, so you must get vaccinated after biting, and if you are bitten by a cat, you also need to be vaccinated, but some people are very worried about getting rabies after being bitten by a cat, so what is the chance of being bitten by a cat to get rabies?

There is no chance of rabies after being bitten by a cat, if you are infected with rabies, first of all, the cat must first suffer from rabies, and if the cat suffers from infectious diseases, it will die quickly, so basically there is no rabies after the cat bites, if you are bitten by a cat, you can observe the cat for ten days, and if the cat does not die within ten days, there will be no problem of infection, but after being bitten by a cat, you still have to go to vaccination, which is safer.

What to do if you are bitten by a cat and bleed.

If you are bitten by a cat and bleed, the wound should be cleaned first, the wound should be cleaned, after being bitten by a cat, the wound can be washed repeatedly with soapy water or new Jieer, at least half an hour, for the cat saliva as much as possible to do all the removal, quaternary amines and soapy water can not be used together, this should be remembered, to squeeze out the dirty blood, after rinsing can be repeatedly smeared with alcohol and strong iodine wine, under normal circumstances, the wound is not sutured or bandaged, Facilitates drainage and drainage.
