    If the skin is slightly broken and there is no bleeding after being scratched by a cat, the wound should be cleaned and disinfected immediately, and rabies vaccination is generally not required. Because not all cats carry rabies virus, according to statistics, only about 3% of people are infected with rabies virus due to cat bites, and it is extremely rare to be infected by cat scratches. Rinse the broken skin with plenty of running water (20% soapy water is best) for more than 20 minutes, and then disinfect it alternately with iodine and pharmaceutical alcohol.

    If you are scratched by a cat of unknown origin, it is best to go to the hospital for rabies vaccination in time for safety.

    1. Vaccinate your pets against rabies in a timely manner and deworm them regularly to prevent them from happening;

    2. Don't tease the puppies and kittens outside at will to prevent them from being attacked;

    3. If you are bitten by a cat or dog, you must treat the wound immediately, and then decide whether to vaccinate according to the situation;

    It is recommended that rabies vaccination is better, and if it is a wild cat, it is even more necessary to vaccinate.

    1. Being slightly scratched and bleeding by a cat is a trivial matter, but for the sake of insurance, it is necessary to get a rabies vaccine. It is not based on the size of the wound to judge the amount of charge, generally bitten or scratched by an outside carnivorous animal, for the sake of personal safety, must be treated according to the rabies wound, clean the wound as soon as possible, and then immediately go to the hospital to inject rabies vaccine, etc., to avoid rabies or tetanus.

    2. The earlier the rabies vaccine is given, the better, and the first time you get it is within 48 hours of being bitten. At present, the rabies vaccine is generally 5 shots per course, and the specific time is to inject one every other 3 days, 7 days, 14 days, and 30 days after the first shot. If the wound is serious, it is necessary to seek medical attention in time and follow the doctor's arrangement, after all, the mortality rate of rabies is extremely high, so it should be considered carefully.

    If you are bitten and the wound is not treated in time and the rabies vaccine is not given, then the amount of the first dose of the vaccine will be increased by 2-3 times so that the desired effect will be achieved, which is one of the reasons why it will be expensive. Rabies vaccines are generally divided into domestic vaccines and imported vaccines, and imported vaccines will naturally be much more expensive than domestic ones, depending on their own conditions.

    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 alcohol or iodine, disinfected 2 or 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. Wash the wound for half an hour and then apply alcohol or iodine. Wounds should generally not be bandaged and sutured.

    If a cat is suspected to be infected with stone disease, on the one hand, the cat should be immediately killed and buried deeply, and on the other hand, it should be quickly vaccinated against rabies at the health and epidemic prevention station, and if necessary, the serum should be injected at the bottom of the wound and around the wound.
