What to do if you get bitten on your finger by a hamster, what to do if a hamster bites your finger?

If you are bitten by a hamster, you should first observe the condition of the bite site. If the bite is only a small abrasion, it only needs to be disinfected with alcohol and iodine. If the bite is severe, the bite wound is so deep that there is a risk that air cannot enter the dead angle, tetanus infection may be infected, and tetanus antitoxin injections are required.

If you are allergic to the antitoxin for tetanus, you need to inject tetanus immunoglobulin. Bleeding from a hamster bite does not infect rabies, so it is reassuring that there is no need for rabies vaccination, let alone rabies immunoglobulin.

If the hamster is slightly bitten, there is no bleeding, you can use running water or soapy water to rinse the wound repeatedly, if the bite breaks the skin and causes bleeding, you need to squeeze out the blood as soon as possible, although the hamster is not the main host of rabies virus, but it is possible to carry the virus, rinse the wound with running water, and disinfect it with iodine.

If the wound is large, tetanus is also required.

Pay attention to the wound to prevent infection, some epidemic areas also need to inject hemorrhagic fever vaccine for prevention, usually feed small animals to keep a distance, do not be too close contact.

I think that if the hamster bites its finger, it should go to the hospital for vaccination, because hamsters also have bacteria, and for their own safety, they should go to the epidemic prevention department station to get vaccinated, which is relatively safe for the human body, because its bacteria are stored in the human body for a long time, and once the attack occurs, the consequences are unimaginable.

If you are bitten on the finger by a hamster, it is best to go to the hospital for vaccination within 24 hours and consult a doctor.

Wash and disinfect more, and then go for rabies vaccination.

I think I went to the hospital, disinfected, and vaccinated.

It's okay to worry about it, and you can detoxify it with hydrogen peroxide.

After biting, you should quickly rinse with soapy water for 15 minutes, but since the landlord did not deal with it, then forget it, if there is a next time, you must think about rinsing it Wipe it with alcohol, don't use a bandage, it's no problem

When a hamster feels uneasy, it is more ...... than when he holds it and holds itIt feels that the situation is not good, and it will bite, but it will not be very ruthless, and the temper is relatively large, and the bite is more severe.

In addition, if you are not cooked, you will be bitten. It is recommended that the mouse be bought without holding it first, or wear a glove, and wait until it is completely familiar with you before directly touching the mouse's **.

Hamsters generally do not transmit plague, and rabies is even less likely. Domestic hamsters are generally clean and do not transmit plague, so you don't have to worry about dry land.

Rats are not subject to rabies vaccination.

Ms. Luo, a staff member of the Beijing Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention, told reporters that the rabies vaccine is mainly for people who have been bitten by dogs and scratched by cats; In addition, rat bites should also be vaccinated against rabies. However, for rat pets such as hamsters, golden bears, and chinchillas, because they are less likely to suffer from rabies, they do not have to be injected with rabies vaccine if they are bitten by them; If you are really not at ease, you can also go to the epidemic prevention department for injection, because the rabies vaccine itself is not ***, and there is no harm after injection.

Ms Law reminded the public that haemorrhagic fever is the most susceptible disease to be bitten by rodent pets, and the haemorrhagic fever vaccine must be injected before the bite to be effective. Therefore, after being bitten by such pets, the injured person should immediately remove the dirty blood, wash the wound with soapy water, rinse the wound with water, and apply iodine wine to prevent infection.

1. Wound disinfection.

The hamster's mouth may carry pathogenic bacteria, and the damaged part is already susceptible to the invasion of germs, and it is easy to suppurate after being bitten. Therefore, wound disinfection is a routine treatment. By keeping the area clean and inhibiting bacterial growth, it can effectively prevent bacterial infections and promote wound healing.

The specific operation is to rinse the wound thoroughly with soapy water immediately after being bitten, then rinse with plenty of water, and finally rub alcohol around the wound to disinfect.

2. Tetanus and rabies vaccines.

1. Tetanus vaccine. In general, trauma of all types and sizes can be infected with Clostridium tetani. If infected, the onset usually occurs after an incubation period of 7 to 8 days.

It is manifested as a tonic spasm of the muscles of the whole body, from the facial expression to the trunk of the limbs and trunk, which will be out of the control of the body, and in severe cases, death due to paralysis of the respiratory muscles. After being bitten by a hamster, there is a certain probability of infection, so routine tetanus vaccination can be considered.

2. Rabies vaccination. Theoretically, mammalian air ants could be the host of rabies virus. However, some scholars believe that rodents do not carry the rabies virus and cannot be infected with rabies.

In addition, domestic hamsters do not have contact with the outside world, and the probability of carrying rabies virus is quite small. However, rabies is a severe disease, and once it occurs, the death rate is extremely high. There is an incubation period from infection to onset, and rabies vaccination can effectively reduce the incidence of disease.

Because of this, it is recommended to get a rabies vaccine after being bitten, and don't pay attention to it because the probability is small. Because once the disease occurs, no one can afford the consequences.

If it is bitten and bleeding by a domestic pet hamster, those with mild wounds and less bleeding generally do not need to be vaccinated, because hamsters are less likely to carry rabies virus, and domestic hamsters generally do not carry hantavirus, which usually does not cause renal syndrome hemorrhagic fever; However, if the bite is deep or after being bitten by a wild hamster, the risk of tetanus infection may increase the risk of the wound, and the patient is advised to get the tetanus vaccine as soon as possible.

Domestic hamsters carry fewer pathogenic bacteria, but there is no guarantee that the wound that is bitten and bleeding will never become infected, so the patient should squeeze out the blood around the wound a little harder in time, rinse the wound with soapy water, and disinfect the wound if there are disinfectants such as iodopor to reduce the risk of wound infection. If the wound is deep, you need to see a doctor**.

Whether it is a domestic hamster or a wild hamster, if the wound is deep and narrow, it can form favorable conditions for the reproduction of Clostridium tetani infection, which may cause tetanus, at this time, it is necessary to go to the hospital as soon as possible to receive tetanus vaccine, generally a shot can be given, and it is also necessary to remove dirty blood and necrotic tissue as much as possible to prevent bacterial infection.

There are more pathogenic microorganisms in wild hamsters, and patients who are bitten are susceptible to hantavirus, which increases the probability of causing hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome, so the injured can be vaccinated with hemorrhagic fever vaccine with renal syndrome to prevent infection, and generally need to be vaccinated with three shots, patients infected with hantavirus may have fever, headache, low back pain, orbital pain and other symptoms, and it is recommended to go to the infectious disease department of the hospital if suspected of having hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome**.

Just a slight bite by a hamster, a slight break of skin and a small amount of blood outflow, this situation is not very serious, you don't need to go to the hospital to inject vaccines, you only need to use medical alcohol or iodine and other drugs to disinfect the wound in time.

This is the experience of predecessors, and when you do it, you should also pay attention to the variety.

The first case.

When you are teasing a hamster, if you are bitten, but the bite is very slight, and it is not broken or swollen at all, then there is no need to worry, and there is no need to deal with it, because if it is not broken, there will be no harm.

The second case.

When a hamster bites you, if it is bleeding, first squeeze out the blood from the bite area, then rinse it with water, and rub alcohol around the wound to disinfect it.

The third case.

When the hamster bites a person, if the amount of bleeding is large, Zhao Huaxin at this time, it is necessary to squeeze out the blood from the bite place, and then wash it repeatedly with soapy water, so that the blood will not have any negative effect after clotting.

The fourth case.

If the wound is swollen the next day, you must go to the hospital for a tetanus shot after the wound treatment in the second or third case, because there is a virus infection, and the tetanus shot is to avoid infection.

The relationship between hamsters and their owners should also be close at ordinary times, pay attention, it is best not to disturb them when they are sleeping, wash their hands before contact, and contact them in the way of feeding. Don't touch them from above, but directly in front of them, so they can see your hand and don't think it's an enemy and won't bite you.

If one day, the hamster suddenly bites you, and usually does not bite you, it may be that the hamster is sick, at this time, it is best to check the hamster's body. Because hamsters will only bite if they are unwell or sick.

After being bitten by a hamster, keep calm, don't throw the hamster out because of fear or pain, so that the withered energy will fall to their death, or let it be hurt, and it will be more difficult for you to get close to it in the future.

Friendly reminder, for hamsters, if they are domestic, they should also look at the varieties, such as the third line, purple cang, silver fox, pudding, golden fox, milk tea These varieties generally do not bite. If you bite someone, you have to see if there is something wrong with you or if you are sick. And white bears, flower cangs, and amber usually like to bite, so when the clan wheel is raised, you should pay more attention.

After being bitten by a hamster, don't smash the hamster, otherwise it will know that someone with your smell abuses it, and then it will be even more difficult to raise. It's best to get familiar with your taste when you keep it, and when you want to pet it, go straight in front of it, not from the top of your head, so that it doesn't bite.

There will be bacterial infection, it is best to disinfect it, recently many young parents like to buy hamsters, kittens, puppies, etc. for their children as pets, but there are many cases of being bitten. Since the incubation period of rabies virus ranges from 10 days to several months, or even several years, it does not cover the trouble.

Therefore, if you are bitten by rats, cats, dogs and other animals, you should treat the wound in time. Rabies virus is sensitive to acid, alkali and other disinfectants, Changhong can be applied soap and water, iodine wine, 70% alcohol to disinfect the wound after injury, which can inactivate the rabies virus, which is conducive to preventing the occurrence of human rabies.

1. Hamsters can carry a variety of tartardium on their paws and teeth, which can easily lead to wound infection, so they must use normal saline or hydrogen peroxide to clean the wound in time, and apply iodophor for disinfection.

2. Hamsters are rodents and will not carry and transmit rabies virus, and the "Technical Guidelines for Rabies Prevention and Control" issued by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention of China clearly points out that there is no need for rabies post-exposure immunoprophylaxis after rabies exposure, so rabies vaccination is not required;

3. According to the depth, size and degree of contamination of the wound, please ask the doctor to judge whether it is necessary to inject tetanus antitoxin or tetanus immunoglobulin;

4. Rats are the source of epidemic hemorrhagic fever infection, although the probability of carrying this virus in hamsters at home is very low, but if there are conditions, it is recommended to inject hemorrhagic fever vaccine in time, but the effect of this vaccine is slow, and it may not have produced antibodies to have the disease, the incubation period of epidemic hemorrhagic fever is 4-46 days, and the onset is generally about 2 weeks, so in the following weeks, it is necessary to pay attention to observe whether the body has high fever, headache, facial flushing, conjunctival hyperemia and other abnormal calls, and go to the hospital for regular ** in time after discovery.
