    Bleeding from a hamster bite generally does not require an injection. The concern for this situation is mainly the transmission of rabies to humans. The most common animals that transmit rabies are dogs and cats, and very few of them can be transmitted to humans by wild mice.

    If the hamster is a domestic pet rat, it does not need to be vaccinated against rabies, as house mice generally do not have a chance to acquire the rabies virus. If you are bitten by a wild hamster, it is also possible to get a rabies vaccine to prevent it. If it is a domestic pet rat, there is no need to do this prevention.

    If the bite wound is particularly deep and has the possibility of causing tetanus, it is also necessary to inject tetanus antitoxin, which is mainly the above aspects of bleeding from a hamster bite.

    If the hand is bitten by a hamster, if the skin is not broken, you can not inject the needle, if you are accidentally bitten and bleeding, first squeeze out the blood from the wound, and then wash the wound with water and soap. Since hamsters may carry a lot of bacteria on their teeth, they can be given a tetanus shot to avoid wound infection.

    <> if you are only lightly bitten by the hamster and the skin is not broken, you generally do not need to be injected. If you are bitten by a hamster and your hand is bleeding, squeeze out the bruise from the wound and then wash the wound with soap.

    Hamsters are rodents that do not carry the rabies virus, so even if they are bitten, there is no need to get a rabies vaccine. However, hamsters may have a lot of bacteria on their teeth, and if they are afraid of wound infection, they can get a tetanus injection.

    *Yes**, you need to get vaccinated after being bitten by a hamster.

    Although hamsters are rodents and generally do not carry rabies virus, hamsters may carry hemorrhagic fever virus, which is infectious to humans and can cause fever, bleeding, headache, low back pain, etc., and may cause shock in severe cases.

    Therefore, after being bitten by a hamster, it is advisable to rinse the wound with soapy water for ten to fifteen minutes before going to the Centers for Disease Control for consultation and vaccination.

    Generally speaking, no.

    There is no record of rabies from a hamster bite.

    Of course, rabies can theoretically be transmitted by any mammal, but many animals have never transmitted rabies.

    In fact, you don't need to get vaccinated, but if some people don't get vaccinated, psychological factors lead to frequent fear, and there are psychological shadows. And the rabies vaccine is 300-500 in China, if it doesn't work, go to a group, and it will be much more comfortable to play a group.

    Answer concerns. If you are bitten by a hamster, if the wound is relatively deep, in order to prevent bacterial infection, it is recommended to get a tetanus vaccine in time after debridement treatment, if you do not get vaccinated in time for prevention, there will be a risk of tetanus infection. In addition to the need for timely vaccination, after being bitten by a hamster, the first thing to do is to disinfect the wound by yourself, especially when the situation is more serious, such as being bitten and bleeding, you should squeeze out the dirty blood in time, rinse the wound repeatedly with running water or soapy water, do not cover the wound after cleaning, and focus on exposure. Then go to the hospital in time for tetanus injection, and after vaccination, pay attention to hygiene in daily life, avoid infection, pay attention to keep the wound dry, and avoid touching water.

    As for whether rabies vaccination is required, the requirements are different for different pets. Bitten by a small rodent such as a hamster, because this kind of animal generally does not carry the rabies virus, it is theoretically not necessary to vaccinate against rabies, but considering that rabies is a fatal disease, if the patient is bitten by a hamster, it is still necessary to observe carefully, and one month after being bitten by a hamster, closely monitor whether there is fever, headache, body aches, conjunctival hyperemia, dyspnea, etc. If you have any of the above symptoms, you need to go to the infectious disease department of the hospital in time.

    Wait a minute, I'll check it out for you.

    Generally, if there is no disease, the rabies vaccine is still effective within 10 days of the bite, but it has no effect if it is so long, if the hamster is still well, it should not be infected with the disease, and it is good to pay attention in the future.

    If I am satisfied with my reply, please give a thumbs up in the lower left corner with your little hand to make a fortune, your efforts are very important to me.

    If the bite is deep, be sure to get a rabies vaccine! If the bite is shallow, you don't need to hit it, but be careful! The most important thing is to see if the animal that bites you will have rabies between a week and a half months!

    If you don't do it, you can stop fighting, and if it happens, then you have to fight immediately!

    If the bite is bleeding, it is better to vaccinate for the sake of safety, unless the hamster has not been in contact with animals in the outside world, this may only be known to the owner.

    Because domestic pets can carry the rabies virus, most pets that carry the virus have an immune system and do not get attacked. Dogs and humans do not have this immune system, and their incubation period may be 3 days - more than 10 years. Imagine what would happen if a virus invaded the human body?

    Therefore, when encountering pets scratching and biting humans, especially scratching and biting, it is necessary to go to the medical system in time for debridement and rabies vaccination, so as to reduce the morbidity as the main means.

    Don't miss the best period because of a small loss, it will bring you unimaginable consequences!

    Only by learning more about the basics of medicine and arming yourself with scientific knowledge can you truly enter modern human civilization.

    Small hamsters bite their fingers and do not vaccinate. Hamsters are rodents, and China's technical guidelines for rabies prevention and control point out that rabies vaccination is not required for exposure to rodents, because rodents do not be infected with and transmit rabies virus. However, infection may occur when bitten by hamsters, so the wound needs to be treated and disinfected in time, and after repeated cleaning with hydrogen peroxide and normal saline, it is coated with iodine and medical alcohol for disinfection.

    If the bite is severe, you need to go to the hospital for treatment, and then ask the doctor to determine whether you need to inject tetanus antitoxin or tetanus immune globulin according to the depth of the wound and the contamination.

    In addition, rodents may carry hantavirus, and although the incidence of this virus in domestic hamsters is relatively low, it is important to note that they can be vaccinated against epidemic haemorrhagic fever if available. If there is no such vaccine in the local area, you should pay attention to observation, and when you have symptoms such as high fever, headache, facial flushing, and conjunctival hyperemia, you should go to a regular hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time.

    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, all mammals could be hosts for 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 virulent disease with a very high mortality rate once it occurs. There is an incubation period from infection to onset, and rabies vaccination can effectively reduce the incidence of disease.

    Therefore, it is still recommended to get a rabies vaccine after being bitten, and do not pay attention to it because the probability is small. Because once the disease occurs, no one can afford the consequences.

    First, if the hamster just nibbles and doesn't really get bitten through the skin, then there is no need to worry and no treatment is required.

    If the bite is bleeding, squeeze out the blood first, and then wash it with soapy water. Zheng Mo rented.

    Second, if the bleeding area of the bite is swollen after treatment, then a tetanus shot is required in the hospital.

    Knowing what to do after being bitten by a hamster, we also need to understand how to avoid being bitten. The hamster hates being disturbed when it sleeps, and if it is touched at this time, it will bite; It is best to wash your hands before touching, and you can slowly feed the hamster with your hands.

    If the owner who is already very close to the hamster suddenly starts to bite the owner one day, then it is necessary to observe the physical condition of the hamster, and the hamster will start to bite if it is sick and uncomfortable.

    Many people will ask hamsters if they have germs or something, but think about it, there are bacteria and viruses everywhere in our lives. Generally, domestic hamsters do not have pathogenic germs on them, unless the domestic environment is extremely bad. At present, there is no data and experiments to prove that hamsters carry rabies virus.

    If you are bitten, try to stay calm, and do not throw the hamster out because of fright and pain, which will make the hamster fall and make it more difficult to get close to the hamster in the future.

    Therefore, unless the bite site is swollen, there is no need to seek medical attention for injections. I hope that my friends are like me, like cute little hamsters, give the rats subtle love, and the rats will love you!
