    It is recommended that rabies vaccination is better, and if it is a wild cat, it is even more necessary to vaccinate.

    1. Being slightly scratched and bleeding by a cat is a trivial matter, but for the sake of insurance, it is necessary to get a rabies vaccine. It is not based on the size of the wound to judge the amount of charge, generally bitten or scratched by an outside carnivorous animal, for the sake of personal safety, must be treated according to the rabies wound, clean the wound as soon as possible, and then immediately go to the hospital to inject rabies vaccine, etc., to avoid rabies or tetanus.

    2. The earlier the rabies vaccine is given, the better, and the first time you get it is within 48 hours of being bitten. At present, the rabies vaccine is generally 5 shots per course, and the specific time is to inject one every other 3 days, 7 days, 14 days, and 30 days after the first shot. If the wound is serious, it is necessary to seek medical attention in time and follow the doctor's arrangement, after all, the mortality rate of rabies is extremely high, so it should be considered carefully.

    If you are bitten and the wound is not treated in time and the rabies vaccine is not given, then the amount of the first dose of the vaccine will be increased by 2-3 times so that the desired effect will be achieved, which is one of the reasons why it will be expensive. Rabies vaccines are generally divided into domestic vaccines and imported vaccines, and imported vaccines will naturally be much more expensive than domestic ones, depending on their own conditions.

    When bleeding occurs after being bitten or scratched by a cat, as long as it is not heavy bleeding, do not rush to stop the bleeding and let the blood drain properly. Bleeding can bring out pathogenic bacteria that have entered the wound. If the wound is not large and shallow, it can be rubbed with alcohol or iodine, disinfected 2 or 3 times, and can be stopped naturally after bleeding.

    If the wound is deep and large, the wound can be repeatedly and thoroughly irrigated with sterilized saline or Xinjieer. Wash the wound for half an hour and then apply alcohol or iodine. Wounds should generally not be bandaged and sutured.

    If a cat is suspected to be infected with stone disease, on the one hand, the cat should be immediately killed and buried deeply, and on the other hand, it should be quickly vaccinated against rabies at the health and epidemic prevention station, and if necessary, the serum should be injected at the bottom of the wound and around the wound.

    Depending on the situation, the injection will be destroyed1. If the cat is brought back from outside, or often plays with cats and dogs outside, for safety reasons, you can go to the hospital to inject a shot first to prevent the cat from being infected with the virus outside; Because skin breakage is a secondary exposure, there is also a risk of rabies infection. After learning about it, the cat was isolated and fed for 10 days. It takes about 10 days for the virus to enter the animal's brain and show symptoms, which means that the cat's mental condition is not abnormal within 10 days, and the appetite is the same as usual, so there is no need to go to the back injection.

    2. If you are scratched by a cat outside, it is recommended to go to the hospital immediately for vaccination.

    3. If it is a domestic cat, and there are regular vaccinations, deworming treatment on time, and good health, without any cold, fever, diarrhea and other uncomfortable symptoms, there is no need to inject vaccines. However, if the cat is not in good spirits, has a seizure or suffers from a disease, it needs to be vaccinated.
