The chance of rabies in cats is very small, probably around one percent. Cats are not born with rabies, they can only become infected after being bitten by a mad dog or other mad cat. Feline rabies is the same as dog rabies virus, and the incubation period is generally within 3 months. Sick cats are characterized by mania, confusion, overreaction to environmental stimuli, strong aggression, and finally paralysis and death. Once infected with rabies, the mortality rate is 100%. It cannot be cured and can only be prevented.

Measures to prevent cat rabies:

1. In rabies endemic areas, cats should be vaccinated against rabies every year. If sick cats are found, there is no need to rescue them. They will be killed, burned, and buried deeply. If a cat is bitten, in order to prevent the occurrence of rabies, the bitten cat must be isolated and observed to prevent it from biting people and other animals.

2. If a cat starts to attack people, the suspected sick cat should be culled as soon as possible. To treat the wound of a sick cat, first let some blood flow out of the wound to reduce virus absorption, then rinse it thoroughly with soapy water, and treat the wound with 3% iodine. If there are symptoms, symptomatic treatment can be given according to the condition, such as sedation, antispasmodic drugs and hydrogenation. pine and other hormones.

3. If a cat is bitten by a patient, anti-rabies immune serum should be injected at the same time and injected at points around the wound. The immune serum should be injected within 72 hours after being bitten. Once symptoms of rabies are discovered, cull them immediately.
