    Dog-bites cats should not be rabies, because animals will have immunity between each other (animals are very immune), so the chance of getting rabies is not very good - but after being scratched by a cat, it is best to get vaccinated, because generally after being injured by a cat's paw, you will get "cat scratch fever". Of course, my answer is not very sure, and I also agree with the suggestion of the first floor to go to the hospital for a check-up, although it costs a lot of money and wastes a lot of time, but it is also necessary for the health of myself and my family! A must!

    No. In recent years, rabies deaths in China have been dog bites, and there has not been a single case of cat scratches in the United States in 75 years (and on the premise that doctors do not encourage vaccinations after being scratched by cats).

    In medicine, scientists divide animals into several categories according to their sensitivity to rabies, among them, dogs are susceptible animals, and cats are extremely susceptible animals, which means that cats are more susceptible to rabies than dogs.

    If you are bitten and scratched by a cat, you should never take it lightly. Although rabies is terrible, the injured should pay attention to cleaning and disinfecting the wound to avoid bacterial infection, and inject rabies vaccine and rabies serum in time.

    Cats can only transmit rabies when they are sick, and cats look very abnormal at the time of illness, if it is a normal cat scratching you, 100% will not.

    In China, there have been many cases of rabies infection after being scratched by cats in recent years.

    In terms of the probability of being infected with rabies, the probability of being bitten by a puppy is very high, and the probability of being scratched by a cat is very high. The probability of rabies following a dog bite is lower.

    However, in some medical aspects, many scientists will actually classify rabies according to some different animals, for example, puppies are particularly susceptible to infection, and cats are also particularly susceptible to infection. In fact, cats are more likely to be infected with this rabies than puppies, if you say that you are scratched by a kitten, or after being bitten, don't have a fluke mentality, rabies is very terrible, if the injured person is scratched and injured or bitten after a friend, you must first clean up the wound with water and soap, and then go to the hospital for rabies vaccination. First of all, be sure to disinfect your wound to avoid being infected by some bacteria.

    Although it is true that there have been cases of rabies after being scratched by cats in recent years, it is also very rare, if it is said that after being scratched by a cat, or after being bitten. Yes, you don't necessarily get the rabies virus. But after being scratched by a cat or dog, you must go for rabies vaccination, if you say that once infected, there is no way**.

    If you have this rabies virus, the mortality rate is 100%. At present, our country does not have the best pathology of being infected with rabies, so we must be careful.

    In addition, kittens or puppies and other mammals are likely to have rabies on their bodies. If they scratch or bite gently, it may cause us to break down, and then we will be infected with this rabies virus. Therefore, when raising kittens or puppies, you must give them rabies vaccinations.

    If you hit it, you are responsible for your own safety!

    It is not necessary to get rabies if we are bitten by cats and dogs, but we need to be vaccinated after being bitten to prevent it, just in case!

    There are cases of rabies after being bitten by cats, and the mortality rate is 100%.

    After being bitten by a cat, the wound should be treated promptly and correctly, and the rabies vaccine should be injected.

    The authoritative statement of the rabies research center of the World Health Organization - abbreviated as "WHO" is this:

    Healthy dogs (cats and other animals) are not poisonous. ("Toxic" is a medical term that means "infectious," and "non-toxic" means that even if a dog or cat carries the rabies virus, it is not contagious until they become ill.) No injections).

    Rabies virus disease is a rabies attack caused by the virus invading animal brain cells, and the animal imitation generally has a very obvious abnormality, which is easy to identify. At this time, the saliva of the animal is poisonous (there is a virus) and is infectious, and if you are bitten by such an animal, you must get a rabies vaccination.

    Dogs (cats) are poisoned only after an attack of rabies. If a warm-blooded animal with rabies bites a person, it is possible to spread the rabies virus to a person through saliva, and you need to take rabies prevention measures.

    Given that 100% of warm-blooded animals such as dogs and cats die within 3 to 5 days of rabies onset (some literature says that there are rare deaths within 8 days). 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, you don't have to worry if the dog (cat) does not die of rabies within 10 days, because the bite is not in the infectious period.

    10 days is a specially extended safety observation period by the World Health Organization) (this period was originally proposed by Dr. Thailand, noting that Thailand is also an area with a high incidence of rabies and is also an endemic area).

    If you are bitten by a warm-blooded animal such as a dog (cat) with symptoms of disease or with abnormal rental residue with healthy cat (dog) behavior, after you are bitten, you should go to the rabies vaccine as soon as possible, and at the same time observe the cat (dog) that bites you, if within 10 days, the cat or dog has not yet developed 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).

    Rabies vaccination can be delayed. (If you have been bitten and it has been 6 years, you can rest assured, if the injury is old within 6 years, you can be vaccinated again, which is the same as one exposure (first bite).

    Yes, because you get scratched by a cat it doesn't matter if it has rabies or not.

    Rabies is mainly an infection caused by animal saliva entering the bloodstream of the human body. If there is bleeding from scratching, rabies vaccination should be given.
