It s okay to be scratched by a cat and bleed without vaccination, right? 255

Let's start with the conclusion, it's fine. Because the incubation period has passed.

The Office of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention designated the "Technical Guidelines for Rabies Prevention and Control 2016", which is very clear and there is no need to argue about anything. It can be directly referred to - get vaccinated as soon as there is exposure (see picture), peace of mind is the most important

Technical guidelines for rabies prevention and control.

In addition to the official guide, share some practical advice in life for reference:

Regular** + urban domestic cats + no contact with unknown** animals + the bite is slight and far away from the head and neck, you can not be vaccinated + ten days of observation. If there is any abnormality, go to make up the first shot. (Basically, there will be no anomalies, and it is written out of rigor).

If you are bitten and bleeding by free-range cats (mostly in rural areas and college campuses) and wild cats, make up the first injection + 10 days of observation, and stop the injection if there is no problem. (Wild cats cannot be observed and must be fought).

The above replaces "bite" with "catch", and you can not fight.

It doesn't mean doing nothing, staring at each other with big eyes.

It means that after being bitten by a cat or dog, the first injection will be given during the observation period, and if there is no abnormality in the biting cat, the injection will be stopped.

ps: Usually there is no problem with the cat within a week, and it is basically fine.

Decameron Observation.

Hello, according to what you said about this situation, you were slightly scratched by a cat and the wound has a slight bleeding, in this case you can disinfect the wound normally with disinfectant, keep the wound, do not scratch it with your hands to prevent infection, you can wash the wound repeatedly with iodine, and then wipe it with alcohol, and finally recommend that you go to your local regular hospital or vaccination point to get vaccinated.

I don't want to scare you. However, rabies has an incubation period. You should have been vaccinated right then.

Now there is a 10-day observation method abroad. That is to say, an animal with rabies is only contagious during the attack period, the symptoms of the attack are red and drooling eyes, and it will die within three to five days, if the cat that scratched you does not die, it is not rabies.

If you are scratched by a cat, it is best to get vaccinated. Because there are many bacteria or viruses that we can't see at all, a vaccine is a safer way.

Indoor cats, do not go out, if the food and accommodation are hygienic, it is okay to scratch it, and it is okay to clean the wound and apply iodine.

Cats that are two months old can be vaccinated and dewormed, and after he has been vaccinated, you can be vaccinated against rabies or not, because indoor cats are almost not exposed to the rabies virus.

In addition, it is possible to contract rabies only if you are scratched or bitten by a cat that has been infected with rabies, and the incubation period is up to one month.

If you say that you were scratched by a cat and bleeding, you didn't get vaccinated. It is not good for people's health. It's better to get vaccinated, it's safer. It is more beneficial for the physical health of the person.

If you are scratched by a cat and bleed, you must get a rabies vaccine within 24 hours, because some pets have rabies virus on their bodies, so you should not be careless, and you should get vaccinated as soon as possible.

After being scratched or bitten by a pet, it is recommended to go to the local epidemic prevention station in time to get a rabies vaccine! At present, there is no best measure for rabies, and timely rabies vaccination is the most effective way to prevent it. Hope it helps, thank you!

This doctor can't guarantee it, you can have a recent seizure, or you may hide it for many years before you get sick or you will be fine for a lifetime, depending on your physical condition and cat. Get vaccinated and feel at ease.

If you are scratched by a cat, you can't get vaccinated Don't get lucky, it's too late because the cat's body has bacteria and parasites, especially those with an incubation period, which can't be ignored and must be vaccinated to prevent it.

It's okay, it's just that the cat eats mice or eats some other animals, and the paws are scraped with cat litter, you don't have to care, but after being scratched, you have to disinfect and clean it, otherwise the wound will be purple and itchy, and you can use some iodine wine or something after cleaning, I used to do this often.

Generally, it will be fine, and the bleeding from the scratch needs to be disinfected as soon as possible, and the blood of the wound should be squeezed out, and then disinfected and treated with drugs.

After being scratched by a cat or dog, you must quickly wash it with soap and water for twenty or thirty minutes, and it is very necessary to vaccinate. Because rabies virus has a shallow incubation period.

It may not be a big problem, but in order to rest assured, it is recommended that you go to the prevention station for a check-up and be responsible for your own health. You can't be sloppy.

Probably fine. Just in case, it is still a rabies vaccine for insurance.

I hope you get a shot of the vaccine, the incubation period is very long.

Not getting vaccinated is dangerous.

If you are scratched by a cat and there is no bleeding, you may also need to be vaccinated.

Because the scratch does not bleed, if there is a visible tear to the naked eye, then it is a typical secondary exposure. In this case, although the transmission of rabies is not as large as that of bleeding, there is a relatively small possibility of transmission of rabies.

Therefore, in this case, according to the rabies exposure process, rabies vaccination is also required. For rabies vaccination, it is recommended to give the first dose within 24 hours of scratching.

The complete process of five injections, then about a week after the first shot, can produce the corresponding rabies neutralizing antibodies, so that the rabies vaccine can play a relevant role.

Therefore, if there is a broken skin in the area after the cat scratches, but there is no bleeding, rabies vaccination is also required. If the skin is not visible to the naked eye, then in general, rabies vaccination is not necessary.

Need.

After being scratched and bleeding by a vaccinated cat, it is also necessary to get an injection. Although the cat has been vaccinated and the probability of being infected with the rabies virus is very small, the rabies virus can be latent in the cat's body for a long time without getting sick.

If the cat has been infected with the rabies virus before vaccination, even if the cat is vaccinated, it cannot destroy the rabies virus in the cat, so it is recommended to go to the hospital for rabies vaccination just in case. The main reason is that the mortality rate of rabies is particularly high, and it is more reassuring to have been vaccinated.

Precautions for raising cats to prevent scratches

Clause. 1. Cut the cat's nails. Rest your nails regularly, and when your nails are blunt and short, it will naturally be difficult to scratch people.

Clause. 2. Prepare the cat scratching board. Cats have hunting instincts, even if the nails are cut short, it still likes to scratch things, so prepare a cat scratching board, when it wants to practice grinding its claws, it can vent well, and when it finishes venting, it will not easily show **.

Clause. 3. Don't put your fingers to its mouth when playing, cats will have the urge to bite when they see small, moving objects, because their eyes are more sensitive to moving objects.

Clause. Fourth, don't touch the cat's scales. There are some places where a cat does not like to be touched, typically the abdomen and hind legs.

If the cat is not completely relaxed, it will easily be disgusted by touching these areas and will instinctively attack you with its hind legs.
