What to do if you scratch a bit of skin on a kitten depends on factors such as the location of the rabies virus entry point and the rabies virus load, and is also specific to the exposure level. Immediately after being scratched and bitten by a dog or cat, the wound should be thoroughly rinsed with soap or hand sanitizer for at least 15 minutes, and then the post-exposure prophylaxis process should begin immediately, depending on the exposure level and previous vaccination status. 1. A light bite to the skin or only a minor scratch without bleeding is classified as a Class II exposure (mild), then the wound will need to be treated and rabies vaccination will be administered. Within a short period of time after being bitten, if the naked eye cannot tell whether the skin is broken or not, you can use alcohol to wipe the exposed area, and the feeling of pain indicates that there is a break in the skin. 2. When the skin is bitten and scratched and there is bleeding, or when the broken skin wound is licked, it is classified as Class III exposure (severe). After the wound is treated, it is also necessary to inject an anti-rabies passive immunization agent, i.e., rabies immune globulin, around the wound before vaccination. It is recommended to go to the hospital immediately after being scratched by a cat to avoid delay.
