The cat scratched a slight break in the skin

If the wound is only scratched by a domestic pet cat, causing only a slight break in the skin, and the cat is regularly vaccinated against rabies more than twice, there is no need to worry too much, because the wound is relatively small, and the possibility of carrying the rabies virus is smaller for regularly vaccinated cats, so you can use soapy water to rinse the wound for 30 minutes, and then use iodophor or alcohol to disinfect the wound, which generally does not cause bacteria or rabies virus Infection. If you are not sure, you can also be vaccinated or observed by the ten-day rabies observation method, which is calculated from the first day of being scratched. If the cat does not have a rabies attack or die within ten days, it does not carry the rabies virus and will not cause rabies transmission. If abnormalities occur, such as restlessness and scratching and biting, rabies vaccination is required immediately. This method is also applicable to pet cats that have been vaccinated more than twice on a regular basis. If a patient is scratched by a pet cat or feral cat that has not been vaccinated twice or more against rabies, immediate rabies vaccination is recommended within 24 hours because the rabies virus, once infected, has a lethality rate of almost 100%. In addition to rabies virus, other bacteria or viruses may be present in unvaccinated cats, and there is a certain possibility of infection even in small, subtle wounds after scratching. It is recommended that the patient immediately go to a regular vaccination site or hospital for vaccination. A total of five doses of rabies vaccine are required, completed on days 0, 3, 7, 14 and 28 respectively. At the same time, attention should be paid to the disinfection of the wound to avoid causing infection.
