Nowadays, there are more and more people who have cats, because cats are soft and cute and love to play with people, so there is a new vocabulary of “jerking off”, something to jerk off a cat, to their lives is also a lot of fun. But people who have cats know that although cats are docile by nature, they are also temperamental. In playing with it, there is no shortage of times when it will blow up, occasionally being bitten or scratched by the cat is inevitable. This time do not take it seriously, because the cat is also carrying a virus, I will teach you today accidentally scratched or bitten by the cat treatment, a small book ready Oh!
First of all, there must be a reason why the cat bites or scratches it, accidentally stepping on it and hurting it, it will definitely open its mouth to bite or extend its claws to scratch you, the same as the human instinctive reaction. In addition, the little meow is very vindictive, and may also put a face to you. Therefore, it is best to pay more attention when getting along with the little meow to avoid this situation as much as possible.
But really accidentally scratched or bitten by a small meow, first of all, to remain calm, generally by the cat bite is also divided into situations to deal with, but the first time is to deal with the wound as soon as possible. If it is a domestic cat, it is usually regularly dewormed and vaccinated, so don’t worry too much. If the wound is only scratched, not bleeding and not deep, it can be disinfected with alcohol and iodophor. Remember to wash your hands before treating the wound. Wash with mild soapy water for twenty to thirty seconds, followed by rinsing the wound with clean water. Not only the wound, but also the skin around the wound should be carefully washed, taking care not to use water that is too hot. Finally, apply a triple antibiotic ointment or antibacterial and anti-inflammatory cream to the scratch or bite. This can be done three times a day until scabs form.
However, one thing to consider is that although domestic cats also take precautions, they are also free-ranging and can still come into contact with objects with bacteria and viruses from the outside world. If the wound is too deep in blood or has symptoms of infection and itching, you need to be alert. Because cats also carry rabies virus, it is best to go to the hospital for timely rabies vaccination.
Secondly, if a stray cat scratches the skin or bites blood, it is necessary to take emergency measures, because stray cats, can be exposed to many germs, and the possibility of carrying rabies virus is very high, in addition to carrying cat claw disease. Whether scratching the skin or seeing blood, rinse the wound with running water to flush out the virus as much as possible. In addition, do not stop the bleeding first, but squeeze the blood out first and disinfect the wound repeatedly with iodine, saline or alcohol. At the same time, immediately go to the immunization department to get vaccinated. Because the incubation period of rabies virus is very variable as fast as ten days and as slow as one to two years. If the wound is too serious, it is necessary to inject antiviral serum.
