The wound should be treated promptly to avoid infection and inflammation.

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 75% alcohol or 2% iodine, disinfected 2 3 times, and can be stopped naturally after bleeding.

If the wound is deep and large, sterilized saline or 1% Xinjieerfen repeatedly and thoroughly rinse the wound.

Many people like to have cats at home, and they must pay attention to it when they are usually playing, and if they are bitten by cats, they must deal with it in time, otherwise the consequences will be serious. Here's how to deal with it.

1.After being scratched by a cat, clean the wound in time, do not bandage it with alcohol disinfection, and be sure to expose the wound outside.

2.Go to the hospital as soon as possible to get the rabies vaccine. Don't look at it as just a small wound, if it is infected, it will be very serious.

Because the rabies vaccine is not for life, if you are scratched, you still have to be vaccinated again, especially the stray cats outside may carry more viruses, so you must be vaccinated in time;

3.If the wound is deep, it is recommended to give another tetanus antitoxin to prevent infection.

It should be noted that if there are children at home, especially especially small children, try to keep fewer cats at home, or cats and children stay away from each other, and pay attention to safety.
