    The wound is so small! You've been worried!

    First of all, look at your kitten's health, don't you go out? It's been healthy lately, hasn't it? If it's at home, it's been alive lately, then it's okay, who has a cat or a dog that hasn't been bitten and scratched twice? I've got a lot of injuries on my hands, they're all healed, there's no scar, I'm fine

    The next time you are scratched and bitten by a cat or dog, first find a water hose and wash it repeatedly, it is best to wash it with soap, wash for 20-30 minutes This is called soapy water backwashing, and then apply iodine to the wound If the wound is very serious, please go to the hospital for injections Anti-inflammatory and epidemic prevention If the wound is a little bit Then the above procedures are good

    Note, if you are bitten by a strange cat or dog that is suspected of being sick, you need to go to the hospital as soon as possible if the wound is stained with saliva or blood of the sick animal!

    The rest of your own family is generally fine, you can rest assured!

    The kitten has a lively personality, and the kitten under the age of 3 months will not retract its claws, and the small paws are always straight, and they can't be retracted, and they are playful, and they are very curious about what they move It's okay If the little teeth bite out the blood, the wound is big, and then the redness, swelling and inflammation or something is okay, you are just scratched by the claws, you wash with soapy water, and put some iodine on it OK I have a lot of cat friends who have experienced a hundred battles Experience to talk about

    No, it's fine. Judging from your description, the cat is healthy and will be fine. The rabies virus is present in the saliva of the carrier animal, scratches will not be infected, and the rabies virus is anaerobic, your wound is very small, and very superficial, after treatment, it will be completely fine, do not scare yourself.

    I have a lot of cats, and I also have adopted stray cats, which are often scratched, and it's fine.

    It's better to go for an injection! This is a serious problem! Who says you can't get rabies if you're bitten by a cat?

    The same would. It's best to go within a day! Otherwise, if you fight, you won't fight.

    How do you know if your cat is sick? It's good if you don't have it, then if you do, it's useless if you regret it, so it's safe to go and fight! Don't guess everything!

    It seems that you get rabies when you are bitten by a dog, right? It's not that you've been bitten by a cat, you haven't been exposed to cat saliva, and you've done a simple disinfection treatment, so you should be fine.

    ..Personal opinion! No, it won't.

    I have been bitten by dogs 3 times (first time vaccinated).

    The cat scratched it once, and it didn't matter.

    I think it's okay.

    If you're feeling a little worried, go to the doctor and ask them.

    It depends. If you are scratched by a cat and bleed, do not get the rabies vaccine in the following cases1pet cats that are regularly vaccinated and dewormed in urban areas; 2.

    The origin of the cat is clear, kept at home, not free-range, non-semi-free-range; 3.The cat has not been in contact with other sick cats or dogs, and has not been licked or injured by other animals; 4.The cat is in good health, has no illness or abnormal behavior, and has been scratched for a reason, such as pulling hard, teasing, protecting food and children, or being hurt; 5.

    Cats are vaccinated against rabies; 6.10 days after the scratch, the cat is healthy and as active as before. However, it is necessary to treat the wound immediately, wash it with water or soapy water for 15 minutes, and then disinfect it with iodine or pharmaceutical alcohol alternately 2-3 times.

    If you are scratched by a cat and bleed, you need to be injected in the following cases.

    1. The cat has obvious rabies symptoms 1, lack of energy, no appetite, and does not want to move, afraid of light, and likes to hide in a place without light to sleep; Some cats and dogs are also very excited and like to bite things. 2. Like to bite things but it is difficult to swallow, poor spirit, sluggish appearance, rough and dull coat, sluggish expression, and often drooling, obvious symptoms, it is very likely that it has reached the middle and late stages of rabies. 3. Fear of water and light, like to bite people for no reason, attack other animals, once this symptom appears, it means that it has reached the stage of rabies attack, and it is best to deal with it immediately.

    4. When the rabies virus invades the nervous system of animals, the diseased animals will have stiff limbs, convulsions, and then die. For rabies cats that have died, they should be disposed of, tied with plastic bags and discarded, and the environment should be disinfected in time. Second, the cat's origin is unknown or the health status is unknown, the cat is brought back from the outside, or often plays with the cat and dog outside; or being scratched by a cat of unknown origin; Scratched by a domesticated cat that has cold symptoms; It is necessary to inject the vaccine within 24 hours, and then use the ten-day observation method, because the virus enters the animal brain and appears sick posture syndrome takes about ten days, that is to say, within 10 days, the cat's mental condition is not abnormal, and the appetite is the same as usual, so there is no need to go to the back injection.

    If you are scratched by a cat and bleeding, you should disinfect the wound immediately if you are scratched by a cat! Rinse the wound with soap and water for more than 20 minutes, squeeze out some of the blood around the bleeding wound, and bring out the pathogenic bacteria that enter the wound through bleeding, and then repeatedly rub it with iodine wine and pharmaceutical alcohol, disinfect it 2-3 times, until the bleeding stops naturally. Do not bandage the wound and leave it fully exposed.

    Even if it is just a little scratch, there is no bleeding and the wound needs to be disinfected, no bleeding does not mean that there is no damage, and germs may still take advantage of the opportunity. <>

    Let's do it for you.

    The domestic cat has just been out of the house for a full moon (it is almost impossible to be attacked by another crazy animal), and inadvertently scratched you (indicating that the kitten does not exhibit abnormal behavior and the scratch is different from the bite, and it is rare to be scratched and infected with rabies worldwide), you have treated the wound in time and correctly (even if you are bitten by a mad animal, timely and correct treatment of the wound can reduce the infection rate by nearly 80%), and you have been vaccinated against rabies (the relative protection period of the vaccine is several years or even decades). So to sum up the above points, there is no point that can prove that you are dangerous. Rest assured!
