    According to your situation, whether the bitten dog or cat that should be vaccinated or not has the disease first determines whether the biting dog or cat has rabies virus, and then the degree and location of the bite. Generally, there is no problem with normal dogs, cats and cats that have been vaccinated regularly, but if they are mad dogs and sick cats, they should be taken seriously. If the dog or cat that bites you is healthy, and your ** is not broken by the claw (the main host of rabies virus infection, rabies is generally transmitted through the saliva of animals, and cats and dogs will use their tongues to add their own paws, there is a certain chance of bringing the rabies virus to the paws, so it is possible to be infected with rabies after scratching) or bitten, then there is no need to worry.

    There are many influencing factors for whether the disease occurs after being bitten by rabies and cats: 1. It depends on the number of rabies virus entering the human body, if the rabid dog and sick cat bite people are in the early stage of the disease, their saliva carries less rabies virus than in the late stage of the disease. 2. Whether the bite is serious or not also affects whether the bitten person is sick.

    Large, deep bites are more likely to develop than superficial wounds with small wounds. 3. Multi-site bites are also more prone to disease than single-part bites, and the incubation period is shorter. 4. Correct and timely treatment of wounds after being bitten is the first line of defense for the prevention and treatment of rabies.

    5. The incidence of infection through mucous membranes is more difficult than that of bite infection, and there are more cases of depressive rabies. 6. The incidence and mortality rate of mad animal bites on the head, face and neck, which are close to the central nervous system or parts with abundant peripheral nerves, are higher than those that bite the limbs. 7. People with low resistance are more likely to develop the disease than people with strong resistance.

    First of all, according to the principle of you, was scratched or bitten by a kitten! It is best to rinse the wound with plenty of water and soapy water first! Then rinse in plenty of water!

    The last step is to go to the CDC, which is the epidemic prevention station, to get the rabies vaccine, so that it is foolproof! If the kitten eats, it will eat something else, and there will be more bacteria in its mouth. So it's safest to get an injection.

    Once bitten or scratched by a cat, the wound should be disinfected immediately with 2% iodine and antibiotics should be taken as appropriate. If the condition is unstable, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible. If cat-scratch disease develops, the course of the disease will be prolonged, and it must be carefully guided by a doctor**.

    Children with cats are also susceptible to toxoplasmosis, which is due to the fact that the feces of cats contain a type of oocyst called toxoplasma, and when people eat water and food contaminated with this oocyst, they will experience fever, weakness of limbs, muscle aches, hepatosplenomegaly, jaundice and other diseases.

    It is the season of high incidence of rabies, and doctors remind that a cat bite can also cause rabies, so the public should not be careless.

    Dogs, cats, and rats belong to an up-and-down chain of infection, and if the rabies bite the cat, they are bitten'If a cat bites a mouse again, the rabies virus can be transmitted between the three animals, and once a rabies cat or mouse attacks a human, even a slight scratch can also infect a person.

    1. First of all, it depends on the degree of the bite, if there is no bleeding, but the epidermis is broken, then rinse it slightly, wash it with Dettol or Velux hand sanitizer, and you can also smear some Baiduobang or chlortetracycline and erythromycin eye ointment on the wound.

    2. If the bite bleeds, then immediately rinse with a large amount of water, squeeze out the saliva left in the wound by the cat, apply alkaline soap repeatedly, and rinse repeatedly until the wound turns white, do not be afraid of pain, the deeper the wash, the more thorough the better (about 20-30 minutes). Then apply iodine to the wound and you're good to go.

    3. Regarding whether to get a rabies vaccine, my opinion is that if it is clearly bitten by a mad cat or a stray cat, then it is necessary to get an injection, and at the same time, tetanus serum should be injected. Generally, long-term cat bites at home, as long as they are treated like 2, you can basically not go to the injection, but if the bite is on the face, the limbs near the central nervous system, and it is particularly serious, it is recommended to take the injection. (Note:.)

    If your cat is a long-term latent carrier of the rabies virus, even if it has been vaccinated to prevent it from getting sick, it does not mean that you will not get sick after being bitten by it).
