Minor bleeding after being scratched by a cat and not flushed with water has the potential to be infected with the rabies virus. After being scratched by a cat, the mucous membranes of the skin can be damaged, and if the rabies virus is present in the cat, the cat’s frequent licking of its paws can cause the rabies virus present in the cat’s saliva to be present on the cat’s claws. The wound on the skin will come into direct contact with the virus and the patient may become infected. Therefore, after being scratched and flexed by a cat or dog, rabies vaccination must be administered in a timely manner to avoid infection. After being scratched by a cat, the wound should be promptly flushed with soapy water, and then the wound should be cleaned using running water. After simple treatment, it should be disinfected in time in the hospital to avoid infection caused by improper wound treatment, and at the same time, it needs to be injected with rabies virus vaccine within 24 hours to avoid rabies virus infection. After being scratched by a cat, you should seek medical attention and get a rabies vaccination as soon as possible.
