    The rabies virus is transmitted through bodily fluids. If the scratched place** is not broken, there will be no problem, and if it is broken without bleeding, the possibility of infection is relatively small. If it breaks and bleeds, but scratches your cat without the virus, it will be fine.

    Whether a cat or a human is infected with rabies, once the rabies virus develops, the mortality rate is 100%. The new authoritative statement of the International Health Organization is: 1. 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 be injected with 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 had rabies, you can terminate the rabies vaccination, and you can determine that you have not been infected with rabies at all.

    2.Normal animals, healthy dogs (cats and other animals) are not poisonous. ("Poisonous" is a medical term that means "infectious", and here "not poisonous" refers to 34, dogs (cats), which are only poisoned 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. 4. In view of the fact that 100% of warm-blooded animals such as dogs and cats die within 3 to 5 days after the onset of rabies (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) I am also a veterinarian and am often scratched by animals.

    1. Look at whether the biting dog or cat has rabies virus, generally wild dogs are more dangerous than unmanaged dogs, and some wild animals may have viruses, so try to avoid them for these animals;

    2. The bite part, if the bite part is the peripheral nerve is more abundant such as the hands, feet, neck and other places, the chance of being infected with rabies will be greater than that of other places, because the virus transported through the nerve will reach the brain faster and destroy the nerves;

    3. Look at the depth of the wound, **The wound is very superficial, the probability of being infected with rabies is relatively small, if there are obvious tooth marks and deep bite wounds, you should be more careful at this time, because if you are not careful, the virus will be lurking in the human body.

    The incubation period after rabies virus infection is not a certain time, and there are cases of onset the disease the next day, and some reports mention months or even years.

    The World Health Organization has a recommendation for the management of rabies virus infection: when a person is bitten by a dog, the injured dog should be observed for 10 days. If after 10 days, the dog is still healthy and has no abnormalities, then the vaccination can be dispensed with.

    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 before to avoid bacterial infection, and inject rabies vaccine and rabies serum in time.

    Cats can only spread rabies when they are sick, and when the disease is dismantled, the cat looks very abnormal, if it is a normal cat scratching you, it will not be 100%.

    This does make some sense, because under normal circumstances, our own pets usually inject pets with rabies vaccine virus, so that our pets themselves do not carry rabies virus, so in the case of being scratched by their own pets, most of the time there is no need to take rabies vaccine, first of all, the pet's blood test should be carried out, if it is proved that there is no rabies virus in the pet's blood, then we don't need to pay attention, However, if it is found that the pet's blood contains the rabies virus, we can get the rabies vaccine correctly, and the rabies vaccine is accompanied by a certain amount of pain in the process of vaccination, if it is not necessary, it is indeed not necessary to be vaccinated. So in daily life, when we are sure that the pet does not have rabies virus, we should treat the wound through the following ways:

    1. Wash repeatedly

    Even if we do not carry the rabies virus, we should be scratched or bitten by pets, and the wound should be cleaned repeatedly, because if the wound is inflamed or infected, then the problem will be very serious, and sometimes even threaten our lives, so it is very necessary to wash it quickly, of course, the water for cleaning should be kept clean.

    2. Disinfection

    Under normal circumstances, we only need to use medical alcohol or iodophor with an alcohol content of more than 95%, of course, if we do not have these disinfection appliances at home temporarily, we can also use soapy water to clean the wound repeatedly, which can also achieve the effect of disinfection.

    3. Simple bandaging

    If our wound is relatively large, then you can use gauze to wrap it, but if the wound is relatively small, you can also use some band-aid type things to simply bandage.
