If the skin is scratched by a one-month-old kitten, you need to check whether the wound is bleeding. If the situation is serious, you need to be vaccinated.

1. Not all cats carry rabies virus. Generally, domestic cats are vaccinated regularly (vaccines are valid for half a year). They live in a relatively clean environment and do not come into contact with dead animal carcasses. The chance of carrying rabies virus is relatively low. If they are scratched by a domestic cat and it is not a sick cat, as long as they are treated in time, Emergency treatment is basically no big problem.

If the skin is scratched and there is no bleeding, then don’t worry. After washing with soapy water, apply 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 serious and the bleeding is serious, emergency treatment should be carried out in time: press and squeeze out the blood from the wound, and immediately wash it with soapy water, disinfect it with iodophor, and then wash it with alcohol. It is best to remove it. Vaccines are administered at local vaccination stations. Because although rabies virus is spread through body fluids, some people may say that it is a scratch but not a bite. Without body fluids, it will not spread. However, cats lick their paws almost all the time every day, so the cat’s paws must have Cat's saliva, so the situation of being scratched and bleeding by a cat cannot be ignored.

3. If you are bitten by a cat, the situation is the same as being bitten by a dog. Whether it is a domestic cat or a sick cat, the risk of infection is very high. At this time, you should pay attention to treating 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, etc. with nerves, in addition to the rabies vaccine, the rabies virus serum must also be injected. If the bite is to other parts without nerves, only rabies vaccine is enough, and the details need to be followed according to the doctor's instructions.

4. The rabies virus has an incubation period, but the probability of the incubation time exceeding one year is only 4%. Most of the time, the disease will occur quickly. Although if the cat dies after ten days, it means that the cat has the virus. If the cat is ten days old, the cat has the virus. If everything is fine after a few days, the person will be fine; however, one may not be able to wait ten days for the onset of rabies virus. If one waits until the onset of rabies virus, nothing will help. There is no cure for rabies virus attack, so no one can afford to take the risk.

Therefore, whether you are raising a cat or a dog, the most important thing is to train and teach them to be polite to others, avoid scratching and biting, and regularly check the body and inject vaccines for cats and dogs. If they are injured by a cat or dog, they must Emergency treatment should be done immediately and listen carefully to the doctor's advice.
