Can a cat that never goes out have rabies?

Cats can also carry the rabies virus and can transmit rabies. The main source of rabies infection is animals carrying the rabies virus, not only dogs, among domestic animals, dogs are the mainstay, followed by cats, as well as pigs, cows, horses, etc., rabies can be transmitted. In developed countries and areas where canine rabies is largely controlled, wild animals have become the main source of infection, including bats, raccoons, skunks, wolves, foxes, etc., all of which can transmit rabies.

The main source of rabies infection in China is sick dogs, 80%-90% of rabies are caused by bites of sick dogs, and some healthy dogs can also carry rabies virus in their saliva, which can also transmit rabies. Therefore, if you are scratched or bitten by a cat, you need to follow the rabies prevention process.

The rabies virus is usually found in the body of the animal that is sick, or the animal that has died and is infected, and must eat the meat of these animals, or the mother himself has the virus to inherit it. If you make sure that it has not been in contact with other animals and that it does not carry the rabies virus, it will not get rabies. Rabies virus, like other viruses, requires an infectious agent to be infected, and does not grow out of nothing.

If your cat is confined in the house and has never been in contact with other animals, the chance of contracting rabies is almost zero.

Don't go out, don't eat rats at home, don't get rabies. Domestic cats, if they dig or bite their owners, are mainly to prevent bacterial infection, rabies does not need to be considered.

Cats can transmit more serious diseases to humans, one is Toxoplasma gondii for pregnant women, and the other is Salmonella, like the name.

The problem of toxoplasmosis gondii is that if you don't give the cat raw food, the cat won't get it. People should not touch cat feces that have been stored for more than a day and eat without washing their hands, they will not be infected.

The one in the back doesn't kiss the cat's mouth, it won't get.

There is also a kind of infectious disease that is not serious but very troublesome is **ringworm, the kitten should let it have a place to bask in the sun, eat not too badly to cause malnutrition, and the hair must be dry after bathing, and the cat will generally not get ** disease.

The daily hygiene problem is mainly to keep the living environment clean, the environment is clean, and the cat is clean. The cat's own hygiene is fine, it will take care of itself.

Cats that have never been out of the house can also have the rabies virus. Usually cats themselves do not carry rabies virus, but rabies virus is very contagious, so cats will also be infected, although cats do not go out, but there is also a possibility of infection with rabies virus through some mice and other organisms, so even if cats do not go out, it is still possible to get rabies. Usually the cat can start to vaccinate the cat at about two months old, the routine vaccine has a total of three shots, and the rabies vaccine can be vaccinated together when the last shot is given.

It's possible to get rabies. It doesn't have much to do with having been out or not. There are many ways to spread rabies, and it is not something that can be solved without going out.

Going outside to play with other small animals is risky, but not going outside the house only reduces the risk of rabies transmission. So it doesn't have much to do with going out or not. Regular check-ups are the most important thing.

**：

It is mainly caused by the rabies virus being transmitted from animals to humans. Rabies virus contains five proteins, namely glycoprotein (G), nucleoprotein (N), polymerase (L), phosphoprotein (NS) and matrix (M). The glycoprotein of the rabies virus binds to acetylcholine, which determines the neurophage of the rabies virus.

The main source of infection is sick dogs, followed by sick cats and sick wolves. After a human is bitten by a sick animal, the virus in the animal's saliva enters the human body through the wound and causes disease, and a small number of patients can also become ill due to the conjunctiva of the eye contaminated with the saliva of the diseased animal.

People are generally susceptible to rabies, especially hunters, veterinarians, and animal breeders. When the rabies virus enters the human body, it first infects muscle cells, multiplies in small amounts in muscle cells near the wound, and then invades nearby peripheral nerves. The virus then spreads centripetally along the axons of peripheral nerves to the central nervous system, and does not spread to the bloodstream, mainly invading neurons in the brainstem and cerebellum.

Hello, first of all, under normal circumstances, the rabies virus vaccine should be given according to the regulations during the kitten period, and the probability of being infected with rabies virus in cats that are vaccinated on time every year is very small. Secondly, the rabies virus has not been studied clearly by the medical community so far, just to find out its pathogenesis and mode of infection. The onset of rabies is caused by the presence of the rabies virus in the animal, which cannot be determined by whether it has been in contact with other animals.

Therefore, it is recommended that the subject give the cat triple and rabies vaccination on time every year.

Finally, in fact, our country has exaggerated the incidence of rabies vaccine, most of us are intimidated by the number of 100% mortality, and the normal carrier rate of rabies virus is not high. Therefore, in my opinion, if the subject's cat has not created a chance for the cat to be infected with rabies virus from the outside, the chance of getting rabies is very small, rest assured

Question: Hello, the cat has never been out of the house, it is kept in the unit, can you be sure that it has not been in contact with any animals, will it get rabies? I was scratched by it to the back, it has to climb along my back to a high place, I am wearing a relatively thin dress, I scratched it, do I need to be vaccinated? Cats are healthy and lively.

I was even afraid that I would get the virus from vaccination, so I didn't give it to my cat.

It is possible, cats, dogs and rodents regardless of whether they are in contact with the outside world or not, it is possible to carry the rabies virus, if you are scratched or bitten by these small animals, you must go to the hospital for rabies vaccination as soon as possible, do not have a fluke heart, this virus has an incubation period, once the consequences of the disease dare not imagine.

No, cats and dogs cannot be born with rabies virus, nor can they make their own virus, they are like people, only after being bitten by a mad animal in the outside world, they can be infected with rabies virus and become carriers.

No vaccine is required for scratching. Pet cats should be completely domesticated, age-appropriate neutered, and scientifically fed. For animal bites where the health status is not clear, the decameron observation method needs to be used as a reference.

Ten days to answer. If the cat does not die after ten days, it is certain that there is no rabies. Rabies is a virus with a 100% fatality rate, and there is almost no hope of infection once infected, whether it is a human or an animal. If you find that the animal has the symptoms of hydrophobia, photophobia, convulsions, drooling, very aggressiveness, and biting when you see people, it may be rabies, and you need to pay attention.

Cats do not have rabies. If you are scratched by a cat, you'd better take a look, otherwise you will get feline ringworm.

If the cat in the family has not been in contact with the outside world, it will generally not have the rabies virus, and if it has been in contact with the outside world, it may carry the rabies virus. For those who have cats at home, they should be vaccinated against rabies, and people who are in frequent contact with cats also need to be vaccinated against rabies.

Rabies is a fatal disease, once infected, 100% of deaths, there is no effective means, only focus on prevention. Once rabies is infected, it is necessary to go to the hospital for symptomatic treatment, and rabies vaccine and rabies immune globulin can be given in terms of prevention.

The history of vaccine development

The rabies vaccine is a vaccine with a long history, and the first to make the rabies vaccine was Pasteur in France. In 1882, he successfully applied the method of continuous passage to weaken the virulence of the virus, using adapted viruses to make vaccines. The rabies vaccine currently manufactured in China is inoculated in primary gopher kidney cells with rabies virus immobilization, cultured, and then harvested venom, which is concentrated, purified, refined and supplemented with aluminum hydroxide adjuvant.

After passing the comprehensive test, it is a rabies prevention vaccine. There is only one serotype of rabies virus, and the antigenic nature of rabies virus is the same around the world.

After rabies vaccination, anti-rabies virus antibodies can appear in the blood of the human body, which can prevent the direct transmission of the virus from cell to cell, reduce the amount of virus multiplication, and at the same time remove the free rabies virus, prevent the reproduction and spread of the virus, so as to prevent rabies.

Domestic cats will not get rabies if they do not go out, because the virus is transmitted through contact, there is no source of infection, and domestic cats will not carry rabies virus. Just like the coronavirus, if you stay at home and don't go out, you won't get infected.

Hello, glad to answer for you.

Cats and dogs, like humans, can only be infected with rabies virus if they are bitten by other mad animals at the onset stage, and the longest incubation period of rabies virus in cats and dogs is not more than half a year.

Therefore, domestic cats that have not been out for more than half a year can be directly ruled out with the possibility of poison, and rabies vaccination is not required if they are scratched and bitten by such non-poisonous cats. Pets that usually get rabies can be due to the following reasons: not being vaccinated or having a vaccine that has not been administered, contact with an infectious agent, weakened autoimmunity, and contact with a sick animal with rabies when going out. Contact with a rabies virus source can only get rabies, and the owner can rest assured.

Precautions for cat feeding:

It should be noted that cats are kept indoors, so cat owners should be especially careful about nutrition, if there is no correct nutrition-related knowledge, it is best not to make cat food. Letting cats eat factory-produced cat feed is a better way for cats to grow and health. It is recommended that cat owners should choose different feeds to feed their cats according to their life cycle (juvenile, adult, gestational, etc.).

Although kittens eat a lot during the development stage, they basically control the amount of food. For kittens, as long as they are willing to eat, it doesn't matter how many meals a day they are fed, there is no need to limit how many times a day they eat.

No, dogs and cats, like people, must be bitten by other mad cats and dogs at the onset stage to be infected with rabies virus.

The incubation period after the cat is infected with rabies virus is not more than half a year, and the cat dies within a few days of onset, so it is impossible for a cat that has not been out for more than half a year to get rabies.

Generally not, because rabies is always an infectious disease, there is no source of infection, and it will not get sick on its own, it is all in contact with the source of infection and is infected....

As long as no other cats and dogs have come, have not been in contact with other cats and dogs, or have eaten any raw meat or blood, there is generally no rabies!

Answer: Rabies will be transmitted because of the wound, so cats who generally do not go out will rarely be infectedQuestion: The cat has not been in contact with other animals, has been vaccinated, is more than 3 months old, the wound has been rinsed with soap and water, sprayed with alcohol, do you need to go to the hospital for rabies vaccination.

Asked a caught. Answer: The advice to you here is to get vaccinated, you can't take chances, you can be sure that the cat will not be infected with rabies at home, but you can't be sure that the cat itself does not carry, so you must be vaccinated.

Cats that don't go out all the time generally don't have rabies.

Generally, the following conditions need to be met to be infected with rabies: first, the cat has not been vaccinated against rabies, and has been exposed to other cats and dogs or some animals carrying rabies virus, such as bats.

Secondly, the cat was bitten by an animal carrying the rabies virus, which was broken and accompanied by bleeding. Moreover, after being bitten, the wound was not treated in time, and the pet hospital was not taken care of**.

If the cat never goes out, it can't come into contact with the source of the infection and therefore won't get rabies.

If the cat or owner is accidentally scratched or bitten by other animals, it should be rinsed with running water and soapy water in time, and the wound should be disinfected urgently with iodine or alcohol, and then immediately go to the hospital for examination**, talk about flushing the skin regularly to vaccinate the cat against rabies.

Rabies virus may be carried.

Domestic cats that have never been out of the house may also carry rabies virus, but the level of rabies virus in the body is very low, and there are no clinical signs at the onset of the disease. If the cat is sick, its saliva will have a high level of rabies virus, and it is irritable, likes to stay in the dark and attack people, and may be bitten if the pet owner is not careful.

After the rabies virus enters the human body, it first infects muscle cells, proliferates in small amounts in muscle cells near the wound, and then invades the peripheral nerves nearby, and then the virus spreads centripetally along the axons of peripheral nerves to the central nervous system, and does not extend to the blood, mainly invading neurons in the brainstem and cerebellum.

Recommendations for rabies virus vaccination in cats:

1. The age must be more than three months, and the cat cannot be bathed during vaccination.

2. Cats with poor physique and malnutrition are best vaccinated after improving their physique, strengthening nutrition, and being healthy.

3. Cats need to be in a completely healthy state before vaccination, and their body temperature needs to be measured before vaccination, and if the body temperature exceeds the normal value, they also need to suspend vaccination. (If you get vaccinated at this time, you may not be able to produce a good immune response because the vaccine reaction worsens the condition.) ）

4. After the cat is vaccinated against rabies, be sure not to let the cat scratch the inoculation site, and do not bathe the cat within seven days.
