4hw.org: many people like to keep cats and are willing to be a pooper shoveling officer to serve the owners. However, sometimes the owners get angry and can't control the number of mails. If they are not careful, they may get scratched. How to deal with the scratched or bitten cats? Let's have a look!
Once bitten or scratched by a cat, immediately disinfect the wound with 2% iodine and take antibiotics as the case may be. If the situation is not stable, we should go to the hospital as soon as possible. When it develops into cat scratch disease, the course of disease will be prolonged and it must be treated carefully under the guidance of doctors. Children with cats are also prone to toxoplasmosis, which is caused by the fact that the feces of cats contain an egg sac called toxoplasmosis. When people eat the water and food polluted by the egg sac, they will have fever, weakness of limbs, muscle ache, hepatosplenomegaly, jaundice and other diseases
It's the season of high incidence of rabies right now. Doctors remind that people who are bitten by cats may also be infected with rabies, so the public must not be careless.
Dogs, cats and mice belong to an upper and lower infection chain. If a rabies dog bites a cat and the bitten cat bites a mouse, the rabies virus will spread among three kinds of animals. Once a rabies cat or mouse attacks a human, even if there is only a slight scratch, it can also infect a human.
1. First of all, it depends on the degree of the bite. If there is no bleeding, but only the damaged epidermis, wash it a little, and then wash it with drops or willoughs hand sanitizer. You can also apply some budeson or aureomycin or erythromycin eye ointment on the wound.

2. If there is bleeding from the bite, immediately wash with plenty of water, squeeze out the saliva left in the wound by the cat, apply alkaline soap repeatedly, wash repeatedly until the wound turns white, do not be afraid of the pain, the deeper the wash, the more thorough the better (about 20-30 minutes). Then apply iodine to the wound, it's OK.
3. As for whether to take rabies vaccine, my opinion is that if it is clear that the rabies cat or stray cat bites, it is necessary to take an injection and inject tetanus serum at the same time. Generally, if the long-term cat bites at home, as long as it is treated like 2, it is not necessary to inject. However, if the bite is on the face, near the central nerve of the limbs, and it is particularly serious, it is recommended to inject. (Note: if your cat is a long-term hidden carrier of rabies virus, even if it has been vaccinated, it can only prevent it from getting sick, which does not mean that you will not get sick after being bitten by it.)
