    Do I have to get an injection after being scratched by a cat? Today, let's discuss this topic together, and by the way, let's popularize this knowledge!

    With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, people have also begun to like to have pets.

    Since you have pets, you have to come into contact with your pets every day. So, if you accidentally get scratched, do you have to get an injection? Today, let's take a look at this question!

    First of all, it should be clear that if you are accidentally scratched by a cat in the process of contact with a cat, then you must go for an injection.

    You might say that cats are raised in their own homes because they don't carry any germs, and there shouldn't be a big problem if they get scratched occasionally, unlike those wild cats outside.

    Because, whether it is a domestic cat or a wild cat, they can carry the rabies virus. If you are accidentally scratched and not treated in time, then the rabies virus may enter your body through the wound and infect you with rabies virus, resulting in rabies.

    Therefore, in the case that you are not sure whether the cat that scratched you has rabies, it is recommended that you still go for the injection immediately.

    If there is no skin breakage, you should immediately turn on the faucet and wash it with water first.

    If the skin is broken but there is no bleeding, you should immediately wash the wound with soapy water and go to the hospital for an injection.

    If there is bleeding, then you should immediately clean the wound with soap and disinfect the wound. Then go to the hospital within 24 hours to get a rabies vaccine.

    Therefore, to sum up, after being scratched by a cat, it is still necessary to treat the wound briefly at home, and then go to the hospital for examination, according to the doctor's instructions**.

    Definitely. Because being scratched by a cat is likely to contract rabies, injections can prevent rabies.

  8. Anonymous users2024-02-08

    No, you don't.

    If a cat that scratches a person has been vaccinated against rabies twice, the cat will not carry the rabies virus. If a person is scratched, there is no need to inject the rabies vaccine again, but if the scratch is deep and there is a risk of infection with tetanus bacilli, tetanus antitoxin should be injected.

    If the cat has only received one shot of rabies vaccine, or the vaccine is not rabies vaccine, then it may carry rabies virus and scratch people, and people should be injected with rabies vaccine in time, note that this time is generally required within 24 hours.

    After being scratched by a cat, as long as rabies does not occur, the injection will be effective before that, but once scratched by a cat, it is best to get the injection within 24 hours, the longer it is delayed, the more likely it is to contract rabies. Before getting an injection, you need to squeeze the bleeding from the proximal end of the wound immediately after being scratched by a cat, then rinse the wound with running soapy water, and then apply alcohol to disinfect.

    Since cats have not been completely domesticated by humans and still have a certain wildness, it is common for owners to be scratched by pet cats, so how long does it take for an injection to be effective after being scratched by a cat. Once scratched by a cat, it is best to get an injection within 24 hours, the longer it is delayed, the higher the probability of infection. However, due to the long incubation period of rabies, in fact, more than 24 hours of vaccination can also be effective, as long as the rabies vaccine is given before the onset of rabies, rabies infection can be prevented.

    1. Squeeze bleeding

    For the case of bleeding from the wound after being scratched by a cat, the wound needs to be treated immediately, first squeezing the bleeding from the proximal end of the wound outward, then rinsing the wound with running soapy water for 20 minutes, then rinsing the wound with a large amount of flowing water for 10 minutes, and finally applying high-concentration alcohol or iodophor on the wound and its surroundings for disinfection.

    2. Vaccination

    After the wound has been treated, the person who has been scratched should seek medical attention and get vaccinated against rabies as soon as possible within 24 hours, the longer it takes to get rabies. If the scratched part has a nervous system, such as the neck and face, in addition to rabies vaccination, antiviral serum is also required.

    Summary. There is no standard for the latest injection for cat scratches, and theoretically the earlier the rabies vaccine is administered, the better the effect, preferably within 24 hours. If you are at risk of rabies, you should be vaccinated even if it is more than 48 hours, because the incubation period of rabies varies, most of them are within 3 months, as long as you have been vaccinated before the onset of the disease, the body has produced enough antibodies, you can avoid the onset of rabies.

    Hello, I am helping you to inquire about the relevant information and will reply to you immediately.

    There is no minimum injection standard for cat scratches, and theoretically the earlier the rabies vaccine is administered, the better the effect, and it is best to inject it within 24 hours. If there is a risk of rabies, even if it is more than 48 hours, the vaccine should be given, because the incubation period of rabies varies from length to 3 months, as long as the vaccine produces enough antibodies before the onset of the disease, it can avoid the onset of the disease.

    There is a wild cat at the door that is very docile and fat, but after you give him food after quietly making friends, he will not leave you. When I was holding his chain today, I was a little scared, and then when I jumped down, I scratched my hand with my paws.

    Do I need to get vaccinated?

    Go to the hospital and ask the doctor, after all, feral cats are dirty.

    Oh. Don't be careless, it's a hassle in case you get sick!
