    You need to get a shot, as long as you have the virus, you must get an injection.

    The first shot should not be given more than 24 hours after the bite is given.

    If the injection is given more than 24 hours, it may not have any effect!

    Some people think that they don't need to get a rabies vaccine if they are bitten by a cat because they think that the rabies vaccine is only for dogs, but this is not the case.

    There are two types of rabies vaccinations:

    1. Post-bite (post-exposure) prophylaxis. Any suspected exposure to rabies, such as bites, scratches (even minor scratches), breakage**, or licking of mucous membranes by animals such as dogs, cats, foxes, wolves, skunks, raccoons, and vampire bats, including seemingly healthy animals, must be vaccinated.

    2. No bite (pre-exposure) prevention. Workers who are at high risk of bites or have the opportunity to be exposed to the virus in endemic areas, such as veterinarians, animal husbandry managers, animal husbandry personnel, slaughterers, rabies laboratory personnel, vaccine manufacturers, rabies patients, medical personnel with rabies, as well as people who have frequent contact with other mammals, children in severely affected areas, and postmen, should be vaccinated.

    What to do after being bitten by an animal:

    If you are bitten by an animal (such as a dog, cat, wolf, etc.) and you are not sure whether the animal is a healthy and non-toxic animal, you should go to the hospital in time to treat the wound, or wash the wound repeatedly and thoroughly with soap and water, so that most of the invading virus can be washed away, and then go to the health and epidemic prevention department as soon as possible to inject rabies vaccine.

    For severe bites, in addition to thorough local cleaning and disinfection, rabies serum infiltration injection should be used around the wound. This is followed by rabies vaccination. Bitten wounds should not be bandaged and sutured, leaving the wound as exposed as possible.

    You can get a rabies vaccine if you have not been bitten by a cat or dog.

    This is known as pre-exposure prophylaxis and is commonly used in people who are at risk of contracting the rabies virus, such as veterinarians, animal handlers, close contacts of rabid patients, and healthcare workers who may be seeing rabies patients.

    What do you need to pay attention to when getting a rabies vaccine?

    1. Get vaccinated as soon as possible

    If you need to be vaccinated against rabies after being bitten by an animal, you must be vaccinated as soon as possible, preferably within 24 hours of being bitten, so as not to affect the protective effect.

    2. Pay attention to a light diet

    After rabies vaccination, it is important to maintain a light diet, do not eat too greasy food, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and keep the stool smooth.

    3. Pay attention to the reaction after vaccination

    After vaccination, it may cause adverse reactions such as fever, local redness and swelling, pain, and rash. Therefore, after vaccination, you should stay at the vaccination site for 30 minutes, and pay attention to whether there are any symptoms when you return home.

    Rabies vaccine is available. If you have not been bitten by a cat or dog, you can also get a rabies vaccine, because it can prevent future rabies virus infection. The underlying rabies virus, which can infect the nerve tissue under the skin and enter the central nervous system, can cause rabies flare-ups.

    Since rabies is a malignant infectious disease, there is no cure for an attack, and the mortality rate is as high as 100%. Therefore, if you are bitten by a cat or a dog, it is recommended to go to the nearest vaccination station for rabies vaccination, even if you have not been bitten by a cat or dog, you can get a preventive rabies vaccination to ensure that you will not be infected by the rabies virus within one year.

    If you are bitten by a feral cat, because the conditions for using the 10-day observation method are limited, rabies vaccination is generally recommended; If the cat does not show significant symptoms of rabies, disinfecting the wound is sufficient. If you are bitten by a feral cat, because the conditions for using the 10-day observation method are limited, rabies vaccination is generally recommended; If the cat does not show significant symptoms of rabies, disinfecting the wound is sufficient. 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.

    If you are not at ease, you can use the ten-day observation method, catch it for a period of time, or take it to the veterinarian for examination, once the cat has rabies 3-5 days 100% death, and only 3-5 days before its death is the infectious period, bitten is dangerous, and at this time it is too late to make up for vaccination. So if the cat does not get sick and dies within 10 days, it means that it is safe and will not be infected with rabies.

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.
