Bleeding from a hamster bite is treated differently depending on the size of the wound. Hamsters are rodents and are not hosts for the rabies virus, so they are generally not infected with rabies and do not need to be vaccinated against rabies. 1. If the wound is a very small abrasion, rinsing it with running water and sterilizing it with iodophor is sufficient. 2. If the wound is large and deep, it may be infected with tetanus, which requires tetanus vaccination. 3. The CDC has pointed out that small rodents, such as mice, rats, hamsters, and gerbils, have not been found to cause rabies; the World Health Organization (WHO) has also pointed out that wild and domestic rodents are rarely infected with rabies. Therefore, a bleeding hamster bite is usually not infected with rabies. If the wound appears pain, redness, swelling, blackening and other symptoms should also seek medical attention to avoid adverse consequences.
