The chances of getting rabies after being scratched by a cat are generally low, but it is recommended that the rabies vaccine be given in time when there is bleeding from the wound. Rabies is mainly caused by rabies virus infection, and the rabies virus is generally often spread through cats, dogs and other animals after bites, scratches, and may also be spread through the animal’s saliva through the wound. The chances of getting rabies after being scratched by a cat are generally low, but the risk is there, so you can’t afford to be careless. If the wound is not bleeding, it should be cleaned in time, and you can use soap and water, iodophor, hydrogen peroxide, saline, etc. to remove bacteria and foreign objects on the surface of the skin. However, if the wound is deeper and there is bleeding, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time for debridement treatment, and then receive rabies vaccination to prevent rabies. Since there is no effective treatment for rabies and the death rate of patients is nearly 100%, it is important to emphasize rabies vaccination to avoid rabies as much as possible. Since it is not clear whether animals carry the rabies virus in their bodies, it is best to take precautions to prevent the disease from occurring.
