    Feed! On the third floor, you don't mislead people, you can't understand the heart of the person who owns the dog!!

    How can a dog that is only a month old have rabies virus!!

    It's a pet dog! It's not a dirt dog, it's not a stray dog, it stands to reason that it doesn't carry the rabies virus, as long as there is no bleeding, there should be no big problem, but when the dog is 2 months old, he should be taken to get a rabies vaccine!!

    I don't dare to say that I won't fight, because I have raised dogs and cats since I was a child, and I am often scratched by cats and bitten by dogs, I have never been injected, and I am fine.

    Rabies, also known as hydrophobia, is an acute zoonotic infectious disease caused by the rabies virus. Most people are infected by bites from sick animals, and can also be infected by poisoned saliva contaminating various wound mucous membranes or even conjunctiva. Dogs, cats, pigs, cows, horses and other wild carnivores, as well as squirrels and house mice, can carry the rabies virus.

    People are generally susceptible to the rabies virus. The incubation period of rabies varies from a few days to decades, most of which are 1-3 months. The clinical manifestations of rabies are characterized by symptoms such as low-grade fever, headache, fatigue, and malaise, and more than half of the patients are bitten and their vicinity with numbness, itching, tingling or ant crawling sensation, followed by hydrophobia, fear of wind, excitement, salivation, episodic muscle spasms and other manifestations, and finally respiratory and circulatory failure and death.

    The course of the disease usually does not exceed 7 days.

    It is the most dangerous viral disease of all infectious diseases, with no specific effect** and a case fatality rate of nearly 100, so the focus is on prevention. Once bitten and scratched by a suspicious animal, the wound should be thoroughly washed with 20 minutes of soapy water as soon as possible, and then rinsed with plenty of water, and the washing and rinsing time should not be less than 20 minutes. The wound is then rubbed with 2 to 5 iodine to remove or kill the local virus.

    At the same time, you should go to the health and epidemic prevention department to get rabies vaccination, and ensure that a total of 5 shots per day are fully vaccinated. Antibody production should be measured 20 days after vaccination, and if there is no antibody production or the antibody titer is too low, vaccination should be continued. Those who have been fully vaccinated for more than half a year and have been bitten by a suspected animal should be fully vaccinated again.

    To this end, all relevant departments should implement a strict management system for dogs, and immunize domestic dogs according to regulations. From the aspects of dog management, vaccination and diagnosis, etc., do a good job in prevention and control to curb the rising momentum of rabies epidemic. The vast majority of this disease is caused by bites from sick dogs, so in order to minimize rabies for you and others, it is recommended that families do not have dogs.

    It generally doesn't matter if you are scratched by a puppy and don't break your skin. After being scratched by a dog, if it is complete and there is no broken skin, it does not matter if this situation is not necessary and no special treatment is required.

    A puppy scratch with a skin requires a rabies vaccination, and if there is bleeding, rabies immune globulin is required. Whether it needs to be treated after being scratched by a puppy mainly depends on whether the ** is complete. If it is complete and there is no pain after wiping it with alcohol, etc., then this situation does not require special treatment.

    If there is pain after rubbing with alcohol, it indicates that the mucosa is broken and rabies vaccination is required.

    If you can't be sure if the skin is broken after being scratched by a puppy, you can wipe the wound with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol. If the wound is painful, it indicates that the mucosa is broken and rabies vaccination is required. If there is no obvious pain after wiping with alcohol, it indicates that it is complete and does not require special treatment.

    If you can't judge after being scratched by a puppy, you can go to the hospital with rabies treatment qualifications for outpatient treatment, and determine the best plan under the doctor's professional diagnosis.

    If you are scratched by a puppy and it is not broken, you don't need to do anything.

    Nowadays, most people are prejudiced against dogs, thinking that they are susceptible to rabies if they are touched, which is incorrect. The main source of rabies infection is sick dogs, followed by sick cats and sick wolves. Its hair is related to the bite site, the degree of trauma, wound treatment and whether to inject vaccines.

    The clinical manifestations are unique hydrophobia, phobia, pharyngeal spasm, progressive paralysis, etc. Because the symptoms of hydrophobia are more prominent, this disease is also known as hydrophobia.

    If you are not bitten by a dog (or cat) but scratched by it, you will also need to be vaccinated, because we cannot tell if a dog or cat has saliva on its paws. In addition, if the wound is not broken with the naked eye in the early stage, you can wipe the wound with alcohol, if there is a pinprick pain, it means that there is an injury, and you should also be vaccinated immediately; After a person is scratched and bitten by a cat or dog: 1. Rinse:

    Rinse repeatedly with soapy water, then squeeze the wound and bleed, and then rinse with plenty of water.

    2. Disinfection: Disinfect the wound several times with iodine.

    3. The wound should not be bandaged or sutured.

    4. Medication: If the wound is large and deep, the patient should go to the hospital in time to inject tetanus antitoxin and antibiotics.

    5. Vaccination: In accordance with the immunization program prescribed by the WHO, five shots** are used, and the immunization time is zero, three, seven, and ten.

    4. Twenty-eight days. Dosage is one milliliter per person. In severe cases, anti-rabies serum or rabies immune globulin is given first, but an allergy test is done before the injection, and then a course of rabies vaccine is given.

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

    1. 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).

    2. Rabies virus disease is caused by the virus attacking animal brain cells to cause rabies attacks, and animals generally have very obvious abnormalities at this time, which are 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.

    3. Dogs (cats) are only poisoned after the onset 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. 100% of warm-blooded animals such as dogs and cats die within 3 to 5 days after the onset of rabies. 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 and the cat or dog dies of rabies 10 days later, you don't have to worry because the bite is not contagious when it bites you.

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

    5. Be 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 immediately go to the rabies vaccine injection, and at the same time observe the cat (dog) that bites you, if within 10 days, the cat or dog has not died because of rabies, you can terminate the rabies vaccination, and you can determine that you have not been infected with rabies at all.

    6. Rabies has an incubation period, the World Health Organization through detailed research, most of them are 20 days to 2 months, and the longest period is 6 years, as for some examples in China, the World Health Organization expressed doubts that 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).

    7. Rabies vaccination can be delayed. (If you have been bitten before, and it has been 6 years, you can rest assured, if you are not at ease, you can get the rabies vaccine again, which is equivalent to one exposure (first bite).

    ps: Now China has formed a huge profiteering industry chain of rabies vaccination, and it is not excluded that organizations at all levels, pharmaceutical companies, **, and some irresponsible medical circles deliberately create panic and obtain improper benefits, especially the pharmaceutical industry bears a lot of responsibility!

    Wounds should be treated promptly. According to research, the rabies virus stays in the wound for about 12 hours before it invades the body's tissues. Therefore, it is of great significance to wash and disinfect the local wound in time after being bitten to remove the rabies virus before it invades the body, which is of great significance for the treatment of rabies.

    A survey of 12 patients who died after being bitten by rabies and having received rabies vaccine found that none of them had treated their wounds in a timely and reasonable manner.

    Prompt and rational use of anti-rabies serum or human rabies immune globulin. A survey of 22 patients who had been ineffective with rabies vaccine** after being bitten by rabies found that none of them were taking either anti-rabies serum or human rabies immune globulin at the same time. Rabies serum or human rabies immune globulin directly neutralizes the rabies virus, so the sooner anti-rabies serum is applied, the better the effect.

    If it is applied within 1 week after being bitten by rabies, it still has some significance, and it is ineffective if it is too late.

    Vaccine quality. Currently, the World Health Organization (WHO) stipulates that the potency of the rabies vaccine should be . The higher the titer of the vaccine, the better the immune effect.

    If the ampoule of the rabies vaccine cracks, or forms a lump that does not shake away, or if the injection is not shaken, only the supernatant is injected, or the vaccine expiration date has expired, or the storage temperature of the vaccine is too high or too low, or the liquid vaccine is frozen, the quality of the vaccine will be affected and the immunization will fail.

    Vaccination method. The use of rabies vaccine should be carried out in strict accordance with the methods specified in the instruction manual. Some people arbitrarily increase or decrease the vaccination dose and injection time, which violates the law of serum antibody conversion, which will inevitably affect the immune effect.

    It has been reported that if the lyophilized rabies vaccine is diluted quickly, a large number of air bubbles can be generated, which will cause the residual liquid in each ampoule to reach, which will also affect the quality of immunity.

    The influence of other factors. Rabies vaccination failures have been reported in people who have been bitten by rabies if they have bad habits such as smoking, alcohol or drug abuse. In addition, malignant tumors, cirrhosis, excessive fatigue, excessive anxiety or excitement can lead to a poor immune response.

    It has been reported that after being bitten by rabies, as long as the wound is treated normally, anti-rabies serum is used in a timely manner and a full amount of rabies vaccine is administered, that is, a three-pronged approach is adopted, more than 99 patients will be safe.

    After being bitten by a dog, you take the right response, but it is not enough to get one shot, the rabies vaccine is given at zero (i.e. on the day of the first shot, and so on), three, seven, ten.

    Fourth, twenty-eight days, go get vaccinated, you will be fine.

    If there is no bleeding at the time and it is disinfected with alcohol or soapy water in time, there is no big problem, but the dog must be domestic, not a wild dog. If it is a wild dog, it is recommended to go for an injection, and if it is a family dog, it will definitely be fine to do a good job of disinfection. However, if the wound is deep and bleeding, it is safer to get vaccinated.

    There is basically no problem with scratching, if you are worried, wash the wound with soap, and then apply some iodine. If you still don't feel at ease, go to the epidemic prevention station to get vaccinated, but I personally don't think so. Very few of your own dogs carry the rabies virus, and if the dog doesn't die within 1 week of asking for you, you're absolutely fine.
