If a cat that has been vaccinated is scratched and bleeds, and the rabies vaccine is within the normal maintenance period, there is no need to be vaccinated, so pay attention when raising it.
Because cats retain antibodies, rabies will not occur under normal circumstances, and the chance of infection is quite small. Cats that have not been vaccinated against rabies or have exceeded the maintenance period should pay close attention to this. After being scratched or bitten, clean the wound with plenty of water, squeeze out or remove the blood stasis in the wound as much as possible, apply iodophor on the wound, and then seek help from a doctor to see if rabies vaccine should be injected. or other medications.
1. Not all cats carry rabies virus. Most domestic cats are vaccinated regularly (the vaccine is effective for half a year). They live in a relatively clean environment and will not come into contact with dead animal carcasses. The probability of carrying rabies virus is relatively low. If they are scratched by a domestic cat and not a sick cat, they can be infected immediately. After emergency treatment, it's basically not a big problem.
If the skin is scratched and does not bleed, then don’t worry. After washing with soapy water, wipe it with iodophor for disinfection. If the skin is scratched and bleeding, but it is not serious, wash it with soapy water for 30 minutes, and then disinfect it with iodophor.
2. If the scratch is severe and the bleeding is severe, emergency treatment should be carried out immediately: press and squeeze out the blood from the wound, clean it with soapy water, disinfect it with iodophor, and then Clean with alcohol, and it is best to go to a local vaccination station to get vaccinated. Because although the rabies virus is spread through body fluids, or some people say it is a scratch but not a bite, it will not be spread without body fluids. However, cats lick their paws almost all the time every day, so the cat must wear protective clothing on its paws. If there is cat saliva, then being scratched and bleeding by a cat will not be ignored.
3. If you are bitten by a cat, the situation is similar to being bitten by a dog. Whether it is a domestic cat or a sick cat, it will be very harmful. At this time, you should pay attention to the fact that you must treat the wound immediately, as mentioned above, and go to the vaccination station to get the rabies vaccine within 24 hours. At the same time, the degree of vaccination depends on the location of the bite. If the bite is on the face, head or other places with nerves, in addition to rabies vaccine, rabies virus serum must also be injected. If the bite is to a non-innervated part, only the rabies vaccine is enough, and you need to follow the doctor's instructions carefully.
4. Rabies virus has a dormancy period, but the probability of the dormancy time being more than one year is only 4%. Generally, the disease will occur quickly. Of course, if the cat dies after ten days, it means Cats have viruses. If the cat is fine after ten days, the person will be fine. However, you may not be able to wait ten days for the onset of rabies virus. If you wait until the onset of the rabies virus, nothing will help. There is no cure for rabies virus attacks. So no one can afford to exaggerate.
When raising cats, pay attention to health issues.
